It's kinda weird right now, the euro keeps tripling down on a decent sized snowfall on Friday, but the HRDPS, NAM etc. aren't showing much of anything. I don't count the GFS it has a history of donking out in these situations...however the fact the Euro is with it is very interesting. Seems unlikely but maybe its sniffing something out?

I'll eat yellow snow if Port Renfrew sees 40cm of snow.
