Re: January 2024 Forecasts and Discussions
HRDPS picked up on the pattern pretty well, too. And even the GFS consistently showed more north of the Fraser. There was a pretty clear pattern in the models, which is why I was so optimistic about my chances today.wetcoast91 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 7:43 pm Euro/NAM did pretty well here.

Re: January 2024 Forecasts and Discussions
Well I was sticking up for another member. Should I have stayed out of it? Not if I felt another member was being insulted. Should I have been more careful to get my facts straight before making assumptions? Yes, and I apologize for that. Now back to the weather.Weather101 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 7:32 pm Tbh, you probably shouldn't have said anything because the post wasn't rude or anything. That creates drama. I know you mean well, so I know it isn't meant to be rude, but jumping into things can make things worse. Especially when the post isn't about you or directed towards you.

Let’s be honest. If we’re in this forum, we are weenies. We’re a couple standard deviations from mean re: meteorology fascination from the general public. Reminds me of this commercial from the 90s.

Re: January 2024 Forecasts and Discussions
That is the current scene in Coquitlam also. Blue Mountain (a main 2 lane road) is complete ice and people are coming down like that. Same thing with the next hill over, Marmont. They really should close the hills down. Up top it looks clear but by the time you get to half way point and to the bottom it is complete ice. Snow tires or not... its not going to be pretty... unless you have studded tires.Weather101 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 7:21 pm https://twitter.com/shanelpratap/status ... FIgLA&s=19
Yikes.. the ice is already creating accidents
I had to take quite the detour to get home just now.
