Like this run. A lot more realistic (more in line with the ensembles) and still features a snowfall heading into a cold stretch. Leaves the door open for a possible reload and further snowfalls.

Reached a high of 15.7C here, now down to 10.2C... wind gusts in the 70's km/h at times. Light rain falling now, sounds a lot heavier when it lashes the windows...

I just never understand why he hasn't moved to a snowier climate.

Yeah, honestly the epic unrealistic eye candy runs were starting to get rather annoying since there was maybe a 0-5% chance of them verifying. Let's keep things realistic here. Arctic air and snow is likely but Abbotsford most likely will not dip down to -20C. :lol:

Yeah...but I’m betting this run is snowier (or as snowy) as the 18Z. I’ll take snow over epic cold any day.

*GEM is snowier :D

GFS snowfall totals aren’t updating because they just don’t believe what their models are saying :shock:
