Sticking snow here in the lowlands is uncommon in April, but I remember decades ago snow stuck on the grass and bark dust at my home in Hazel Dell on April 14, my birthday. With chilly showers Sunday and Monday, snow could mix in or even all-wet-snow showers at any elevation. However, a trough of cold air will drift down from Alaska and will lower snow levels below 1,000 feet over the weekend. A weak weather system moves over us Friday with light showers and cooler temperatures. With an incoming cold air mass, there will be more than patches on our foothills by Monday morning. I still saw patches of white Wednesday on Silver Star Mountain to our east, so frosts are still possible.

Vancouver officially dropped to 30 degrees, chilly but far from the record low of 26 degrees in 1975.

Our average high is now about 60 degrees.Įarly Wednesday morning, I saw the rooftops were nice and white around town with a good frost. That’ll stay in the record books for a while longer, I bet. In 2016, we recorded an 87-degree high temperature. The record high today for Vancouver wasn’t set that long ago. Could we see an 80-degree high here and there? Those students on spring break locally will have a bonus day with highs well into the 70s. Those who do venture outside will get not only a good dose of vitamin D but also an injection of spring fever. Today is a day not to remain indoors unless you are feeling ill, and if so, I wish you a speedy recovery.
