The end of March 2026 in Kitimat has been nasty. Rather than slowly becoming springlike we’ve had snow storm after snow storm, with the latest (after the spring equinox) was more like a blizzard in January or February.

On this weekend most of North America was in the grip of a frigid polar vortex. On the northwest coast of British Columbia, the sky was clear (and there were few birds on the waterfront).
With cold, clear skies over Kitimat in late January, both the waning and waxing (new) moon appeared over the mountains and the channel close to sunset. January 21 had high clouds that hid the moon, but the sky was clear again on January 22.
