I love the troffy snow pellets myself :thumbup: but we are on the wrong end of the cycle
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

This is EC for Sea-To-Sky, but if we can urge it south, maybe everyone can win:
"5:29 PM PST Sunday 14 January 2024
More winter weather expected on Monday night, Tuesday and Wednesday.

On Monday evening, an arctic front will begin to sweep across the province from north to south, bringing periods of snow. At the same time, a Pacific low pressure system will be approaching the coast from the west. As the moisture from the Pacific system interacts with the cold front from the north, periods of heavy snow are expected, and snowfall warnings may be necessary in some regions.

If the low tracks 50km further south does that put Vancouver into the Squamish level of snow?

This low is probably going to track to the central coast at this rate. Northern energy is practically non existent.

And now the RGEM won't run and it's one of the most important runs. It was supposed to start at 6:45PM. :x :bang:
