Lets be honest, very high likely hood the extreme cold wont verify, arctic highs always seem to trend east as model runs progress closer to event BUT winter is definitely coming next week. Buckle up!

My slumber has been disturbed...

I'm like a...reverse hibernation bear or something. Don't look into it. It's real.

Also good news! I :arrow:'d to Horseshoe Bay so I got the Howe Sound outflow now. Here's hoping that adds to my snow totals from what is the fat donut hole of lower North Vancouver.

Yea big improvement but no GEM. Blocking is better and a shortwave is rounding the ridge next weekend. Long range might look better too
