A wee little sunshine Wednesday lifted our spirits, and smiling faces invite plenty more. It was nice, yes, but the clouds and rain are back today as another winter-weather system drops in for a visit.
Rain was expected to begin along the coast this morning and inch its way inland later today and tonight. Not heavy rain, and only several inches of snow for the mountain ski resorts. Another, stronger low invades the Northwest over the weekend with maybe a foot of snow at pass levels and above. Just a cool rain here in the lowlands.
By Tuesday or Wednesday, I see another opportunity for some basking in the sunshine with perhaps some easterly winds. That would help push the daytime high perhaps into the 60s for a taste of early spring. I can see those daffodils rising higher and higher.
Around an inch of rain should fall between now and then, and we need it as Vancouver is nearly an inch and a half below average for the month. Why does that sound like a broken record? Every time I start typing the phrase, my computer fills in the line.
