January 2024 Forecasts and Discussions

-1.3c in Roberts Creek and incoming! Looking exciting...

This reminds me of another winter maybe 2 years ago when we had the arctic air and it just kept snowing every day, small amounts but nothing was forecast on EC and it wasn't expected to stick around but it did.

Take a look at the lions cam. You can see all the way to the island. Lower levels look dry for the moment. Ceiling still high.

I don't think outflow is much of an issue. Looks wet on radar.

Yeah it's already snowing in Victoria. I don't think saturation is gonna be too much of an issue.

Let's see if the models bust because most show a dusting at most.

Mark Madriga says 5 cm + away from the water edge and not transition till midnight if that.

Bring it! Let's pad those totals!

Uhm...so you're saying I should leave for the airport now from Chilliwack? Her flight isn't leaving till 4 this afternoon?

Remember that time in 2008 after a major snowstorm we had a second storm that was supposed to be brief snow changing to rain but then it never actually warmed up and we got another massive dump of snow? Hopefully this will be a repeat. It's so fun when the forecast busts in the opposite direction and actually gives us what we want!

I think Nanaimo to Duncan could get 5 to 10cm during the afternoon today. So do prepare to drive in the snow. But I think it’s good you’re not taking the Malahat, it can get pretty bad up there. Good luck in your basketball tournament.

Thank you!

If it helps...models have drastically cut down on rainfall over the next few days with the systems splitting up. This stuff will not be rapidly melting.

Shouldn't metro Van/valley have a snowfall warning by now? Maybe at the 10 am update?

Are you saying the Canucks make the finals?

Yeah but lose in game seven 4-0

Saving that for use on the AF!
