February 2019 Forecasts and Discussions

[Roberts Creeker]

Yea Friday's system has strong southerly flow ahead of the main band of precip, so it'll be another marginal setup. Models seem to be dialing in on the big undercutting next week and it's directed well to our south. Leaving us cool and dry.

How did people do for snowfall yesterday. I was out last night and missed like 50 pages of posts and don't have time to go thru them all.

Had a couple of hours of snow and sleet, no accumulation, just washed away some of what I had. I still have solid snow covering of 1-2".

Lots of cold members... we should add to our negative departures next week.

My feeling is, will have a big dump of snow early to middle next week and that will be the end of a cold streak

Good call John..I'm with the veteren on this one. After that, please let's see some bommy ridging

20C and partly cloudy skies sounds nice.

But it is very nice out right now!

[Bonovox]

Spring and summer are my least favourite seasons. So, I’m okay with marginal events and general troughiness.

Very nice out indeed. Fresh snow cover, too much melting though, but better than the rain train crap.
Temp is +2.5
Smells so fresh outside. Now remember in summer when we could hardly breathe? This is awesome!
Brisk clean air. No allergy symptoms.
Well I hope we at least get 2 more snowfalls, with at least one of them being the big poppa of them all, which would be a nice send off to winter, and then ya, it would be nice to have some 12c days again.

Looks real nice on Grouse:

Good points.

I hate allergies, but I still like summer. The most important thing to me is having dry days so I can work on cars and other hobbies. Pretty hard to do anything when it's cold/wet outside.

When's the last time the GFS was predicting more snow for the LM than the GEM?

[AbbyJr]

Chris Doyle said that we lose the NE outflow Friday in the S Valley and winds veer to the Same, so likely starts as snow then switches to rain while Chilliwack stays mainly snow.

Any snow forecast at this time of the year is nice to watch fall, but it doesn't stick around long, if at all. Even if we thread the needle, we may get 6-8 inches, but the next day sun melts half of it away. Yesterday was a prime example.
It is easy to hit 16c and sun by Mar 1 so bring it on buttees!

I don't mean this March, cuza it looks chilly but hopefully soon after

Been melting pretty slow here still 8-11" on the ground depending where you measure

[Abby_wx]

I've got about 8 cm on the ground, but there's less once you get outside of my neighborhood and into the more exposed areas.

[Typeing3]

My snowpack was sitting at about 7cm this morning. The melt continues today though.

It's been a very snowy Feb out on the island. Crazy how you guys have gotten so much more than the mainland
