Check out how clean the back end of the front is. SW winds will be very strong in the wake of this storm.

You guys tend to get hammered by the W winds.

Snow levels also look to tumble in the wake of the front...will likely transition back to snow at the North Shore mountains by midnight.wetcoast91 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 6:56 pm []

Of course I believe Brett Anderson since his grammar is impeccable. With a proper use of hyphens between such words as drier-than-normal and lake-effect snow, I'll gloss over his busted summer and early autumn forecast.

upper levels starting to cool:

Snowing again on Washington. As for the wind warning, we get gusts and about 10 minutes of sustained winds and then they die. We've had about 5 episodes like that since 3 pm. Not the usual warning criteria.

Not much wind here in North Vancouver still.
Had some big fat tropical drops of rain falling on me though.
