Room with a view - until the fog rolled in!
Good morning from the Resort Municipality of Whistler, British Columbia. Fog should dissipate in the next few hours for a beautiful November day in SW BC before the next system approaches.

Partial Clearing w/ Chc of Aurora!
It’s been awhile but clouds are scattering out over the Lwr Mainland as a high builds.
If you take out your camera w/ long exposure, you might just see Aurora Borealis as parameters aren’t bad. Just wish Bz was lower.

Cold front has made its way thru Metro Vancouver and now pushing thru the Fraser Valley in BC and Whatcom/Skagit Counties in WA. Heavy rains & gusty winds associated but no lightning along here so far.

Spot the cold front!
That’s about as defined as they get on radar in these parts. Heavy rain associated and even thunderstorms over E Van Isle and the Sunshine Coast.
