Re: YVR METAR
They SNAFU'd the Wx the first time they reported it, it means thats the corrected Wx (the Wx didn't change)
Re: YVR METAR
First correction
CCB second correction I believe, but I've never seen it.

Re: YVR METAR
Yea, CCB for second, CCC for third, etc. It happens. I've known guys who've had to send out a 4th correction. Another reason for a CCA is if they had to send it out from another station due to network issues. In that case you'd usually see "VIA YWG FIC" or something similar in the remarks though, and it's sent as a correction in case the first one eventually gets through, so that there arn't duplicates.tvguru wrote:First correction

no sig because apparently quoting people in context is offensive to them.
Re: YVR METAR
After around CCZ they change the whole thing to FUBAR I believe.

Re: YVR METAR
In Edmonton they have a guy and a lady who have a continual weather-prediction/description contest.
The boss listened to both their arguments, and finally went with hers.

Ok, I made all that up-because I can't find what
HER S
means.

I don't think that one is in an abbreviation explanation guide.
I looked (only ) a little more;
maybe they forgot the the "I" before e in hier.
