Being a cheapskate, I don't have access to the model runs that those of you who subscribe to paid sites do. Are
any runs of the ECMWF showing an arctic blast (or even cold-onshore-flow lowland snow)?
I don’t think there has been any cold/snowy runs since a few days ago.
The weeklies come out later today, so we shall see what they say.

Maybe we end up with a blend of the two?

And so the model wars continue.
Gfs showing more consistency over the Euro though.
GEFS and GEPS are also consistent

Thanks. Frankly, that
really makes me skeptical about the GFS' arctic blast forecasts.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Doesn't look like it to me. Gfs still on an island but it may be the right island, time will tell. Damn this is getting tense

Check out the Jan 5 and 6 forecast lol.
Highs of 5c and 2c with snow, sandwiching a Low of -10, with "showers" forecast?
Only in the Smilkameen!

Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++
