Surface temps aren't quite as warm (temp inversion) .... local ski hills will be back to square 1 soon enough with this current pattern.

Currently +6 and pouring rain on the local hills.

Bad timing with the holiday right around the corner.

Still won't see a cold January but might sneak in a slushfall or two. Maybe some frost too!

The kids haven’t experienced a snowless holiday season there. I explained there won’t be snow there, but it didn’t compute. I booked a sleigh ride on Boxing Day at Big White. Even if it’s slop in the alpine at the coast, Big White does okay retaining its snowpack during these types of winters. Best we can do is wish-casting on those long-range ensembles.
1700m+ is a different kind of beast :flakey: :flakey: :flakey: :flakey:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

Just curious why you are so convinced we won't see a cold January? Not saying we will, but the curse has got to end at some point. :wave:
