December 2022 Forecasts And Discussions

Too much attention to the larger models with terrain bleed and less accuracy. The short term local models I find are more reliable within 12-16 hours.

You're still wrong. People here know what they're talking about. We look at Rgem, Hrrr, Nam, etc. You are no smarter than anyone else.

Dude, give it a rest. The 2.5km HRDPS was showing 6-8 inches across the Lower Mainland. The 3km NAM was showing 5-10cm. There was NO model showing a transition as early as it occurred. Your schtick is tiring and your propensity to gloat is off putting.

Even the most aggressively warm short term models had snow going until maybe an hour or two ago, mate. They all busted.

Temperature has risen 2°C in the past 3 hours. At this rate, should be above freezing here by this afternoon.

Small mercies

And as expected....people are not listening to the warnings. Costco down the road is a zoo and there's a 3 car pile up on Cariboo.

So sick of human beings. I knew when I saw it was raining people would think "oh what's the big deal??"

Ain't that just the truest thing anyone's said all month.

It's beyond annoying. He brings nothing of value or substance. And where was he this last week when the forecast busted in favour of snow? Nowhere to be seen. Textbook trolling.

All things considered, I’m not seeing a lot of red on Google Maps, so there’s that.

It still snowing hard here, started about 8pm, outflow still going strong. Its hard to estimate how much snow has fallen with the strong wind but my guess is about 10cm, very dry powder. -12c

[Typeing3]

New snow/ice pellets measured at 6:30am: 10cm
New snow/ice pellets measured at 9am: 3cm
Storm total: 13cm

It's compacted a ton though. Currently seeing a mix of light-moderate ice pellets and freezing drizzle.

Currently -5.8c, dp -6.5c.

My street was bare yesterday, and my guess of an inch of new snow earlier probably about right as I just measured 2.5cm of the frozen concoction. Stuck my hand out and definitely rain now,not sleet.

Up to -3.7° from -7°

The outflow for many portions of Metro Van has been cut off which is good. We just need to erode the cold air at the surface. The next impulse of moisture is bringing very mild air aloft. Should be more efficient at bringing the mild air downward to increase temps to +2C by the PM hours. Surfaces will likely be icy with minimal melt in snow covered roads until we warm up.

The Fraser Valley is screwed until the outflow shuts off. I fear the models are overdoing the subsidence of warm air.

Radar probably doesn't even know what propensity means. Well done.

Epic Fail of the models and forecasts.
Pathetic situation as usual, warm ass air always has to ruin it for us.
All we wanted was snow so we could up our snowfall count and then move into the freezing rain garbage and then into Nito's and Raindars sexual fantasy land of AR's and warm temps. F all that! Why is it too much to ask for a decent overrunning event? So pathetic.

Anyway, my temp is -5.8
DP: -8
Hum: 87%

A mix of Snow pellets & freezing drizzle (AKA freezing post anal drip)

Looks like 4Cm of ice pellets from last night and this morning. Could be more, I'll measure later.
