February 2023 Forecasts And Discussions

[PortKells]

I got heavy snow on the night of Jan 31. It was heavy enough to cover the road and make driving slightly interesting, but it didn't really accumulate too much.

You mean October 31?

Overnight low of -8.6c

Decent.

I'm always impressed with the temperature inversion at Valemount! The airport can easily be 5 or more degrees colder than a couple km away!

Also, coldest places in BC today aren't in the north, but the central interior...

12Z Euro ups the snow amounts for the Lower Mainland. Seems to be caving to the snowier GFS.

Honestly that 11.1" over DT Vancouver looks a little terrain bleedy. I'll (gladly) eat my hat if there's actually 11" IMBY.

That said I think 6-8" isn't a bad estimate now, but maybe 4-8" to be conservative.

Feetz of snow wants at least 12" of snow.

Here's a close up of the hrdps, which looks a little less affected by terrain bleed

A hat may need to be consumed in the near future...

SREFPlumes mean is now near 8" of snow by 6Z 28th or the extreme end of 12" for YVR.

Got down to -8 here last night with a low DP of -18. Pretty decent for late Feb.

[PortKells]

Euro still gives me hope for a vsb snow day.
