More than continues. It's colder this run. Friday doesn't have a transition to rain.

More realistic with the cold on Saturday and Sunday but Friday is very snowy. 15-25cm across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

Where did that almighty low go on the 00z? Looks to be much further south than previous runs.

More marginal temps right on the harbour...around 5-10cm.

Holy Crow winds picked up out of no where here had a gust to 46kmh and temp shot up to 12.5c now.

Windy.com posted a wind speed of 41kts at YXX. 76kmhr. Seems close to about right. 76kmhr.

Fraser outflow looked pretty strong from those two meter temp anomaly maps...that wouldn't make it stay as snow longer than modelled?

It's still there, just doesn't tap into that brutally cold airmass in northern BC.

[Forrest Gump]

Thought that area is primarily underground lines.

Could be but I'm sure there's lots of power poles around in older neighborhoods which are on the same grid.

Very active pattern the next 10 days. Lots of rain and win along with some snow. Extreme cold usually comes with extreme jet supression and dry conditions. NW flow with cold enough maritime air does the trick and usually brings most snow.

Sorry Gumps had to give up the comedy act and sit up straight with hands folded. But l'll see you on the comedy thread lots of good crap on there.

Yeah...good access to cold air in the interior. Temps still look to be a touch above freezing which would limit accumulations.

Since this is still 7 days out...best not to get caught up in the details. Next run will show something completely different.

Yeah. Could very well end up being a non event.

Gotta give Nito his due , he said 14°-17° in some areas was possible, while there was no talk of mid teens by any pro mets that I know of.
