I would like to submit to the jury that the last time a cold ULL was supposed to rotate a band of moisture upward, it fizzled dramatically. This to me seems remarkably similar. Being on #teamsnow doesn't mean blindly expecting to win each time.

This mentality is brought to you by...being a Canucks fan.

Edit: maybe we can tank now and hope for a better shot next December/January. Does it work that way in weather? :lol: :lol:

72% humidity already. -4.2C dewpoint at the airport. It's going to warm up a lot today. A lot of similarities to the last upper low. Too bad moisture comes in at the warmest part of the day. If it does change to snow, probably the nice to look at variety - can't see it accumulating in the city.

GEM is snowier...
ICON is snowier...
NAM is snowier...
FV3 is snowier...
GFS probably a little less snowy...

So question is, what are the models missing if this is in fact going to be a nonevent?
Given that the total amounts are going to be low even with the best possible outcome.

Agree. Humidity will drop a touch as weak downsloping winds increase temps and dry the airmass out. There will be lots of virga to start with .

Overall looks like a non event.

Wouldn’t the models take those into account?
