February 2023 Forecasts And Discussions

[Roberts Creeker]

Kinda on the sidelines for now, no Wpro which is weird thought he'd be all over this like a February blizzard.
E.C.'s forecast is a nothing burger a couple dry chilly days then moderating not trying to be a D downer just skeptical at this point guess we'll find out this week.

EC Likes me better than you. They've given me 5 blocks of 'chance of flurries' and possible t-storm tonight. It has been gusty with rain pelting against the window at times.

Now the GooFySilly nails Portlanders and we get a trace too much inconsistencies to get excited.

[HarrisonSasquatchWx]

Because he know Nito is pushing some cold rain instead.

It's absolutely howling @ my work in Abbs down near Sumas albeit a mild south wind.
Probably windy enough for a giant minion balloon to crash in mini me's yard.

Crazy windy out there. Posting on generator power. Looks potentially very snowy over here mid week. Next weekend could be white for all.

[Roberts Creeker]

No wind here but the BC Hydro map is showing a lot of red.

For those still interested here's the location of wimpy the Arctic front, it's just north of Williams puddleduddle.

Now l know why you've curbed your enthusiasm the last few years Abbs Sr.
It's even difficult getting excited for these 2 or 3 day Arctic events l remember growing up they would sometimes last 10 to 14 day's just about every winter now it's afew day's and done.

Thanks Tbud, expecting increasing outflow in the central valley.
Steady lowering dewpoints and 2 metre temps to rise.

EC keeps scaling back the snow chances.. I can see this becoming another dud. Gee what a surprise.

[Rubus_Leucodermis]

Euro and GFS continue to show flurries as the arctic front arrives. Short-term models I have looked at however show it being totally dry.

No model is showing more than a dusting. But even a dusting can cause chaos if it is accompanied by plummeting temperatures and a flash freeze.
