Yesterday in Vancouver was overcast with some sprinkles in the morning. It dried off at the same time we went to the bird watching beach and stayed dry through the rest of the day.
What a difference 24 hours makes - from The Vancouver Sun:
Pineapple Express hits North Shore mountains, Metro Vancouver with heavy rain
Skiers and snowboarders hoping to hit the North Shore slopes this weekend may be disappointed, as a Pineapple Express is expected to wallop the region with up to 100 millimetres of rain, saturating the snowpack and forcing resorts to close runs.
The warmer weather and heavy downpour doesn't bode well for the North Shore's three major ski resorts, as Environment Canada predicts the freezing level could climb as high as 3,400 metres by Saturday. Cypress and Seymour mountains are about 1,400 metres in height, while Grouse Mountain is just over 1,200 metres. Whistler's highest lift accessed elevation is 2,284 metres.
It's 41°F and raining at Baker as well but at least we have some decent base.
