January 2025 Forecasts And Discussions

Remember, it's going to snow this weekend. That's pretty cool. Models will model.

It's less than 48 hours away. It's beyond irresponsible for a weather agency to ignore the other models. Everyone will be caught off guard. It's not like we're talking about 2 cm here...

1) it is more than 48 hours away

2) EC does not rely only on Canadian models to make decisions for snowfall warnings

Snowfall warnings will be issued tomorrow morning I'm sure

Out of curiosity, when did I ever mention anything about a snowfall warning? Lol. I never did, so I'm not sure where you got that from and why you're bringing it up.

Then what are you complaining about? The forecast? Most people just use what's on their phone. Who cares what their forecast says. Even if their forecast said 200 cm of snow very few would know. The warning, however, that gets picked up by media.

18z 3km NAM at Noon local time on Saturday has 925mb temps around -4c and 850mb temps of -9c over the Lower Mainland.

What!? Why would you move? You lived in a decent area! Especially for a snow lover! I guess this is to stop driving the horrendous drive to the airport everyday. I'd move too and sacrifice my love of snow to avoid driving from Surrey to the Airport, but if you are in Ladner, you STILL have to take the horrendous tunnel!!

It only takes me 18-20 minutes to get to the airport with the EV sticker! Not too bad.

I get you've been wanting to go at everyone tonight, and that's fine, but you clearly missed a bunch of posts in the past 24 hours. People over 60 don't "look at their phones." They trust and believe in EC. We had a poster mention that someone they know refused to cancel their appointments because they believe it's going to rain all weekend because EC said so this morning! Same for people I know. It puts people, especially the elderly, in jeopardy, as people have posted, but you wouldn't know that since you're not around anyway.

Mods may need to step in soon before Flamingo gets into a fight with a non-bird this time

Going to leave it alone for the time being and hope both can debate responsibly.

Agreed.

I am surprised given the high reliability of the Euro. Even if you half its shown snow totals, that's still a widespread disruptive snowstorm.

I'm fine. Lol. He's just been weird, trying to downplay things when people post. Not sure why.

Not too shabby!

Agreed. I am somewhat surprised given the high reliability of the Euro. Even if you half its current snow totals, that's still a widespread disruptive snowstorm.

Nailed it! Not sure what EC is thinking, but oh well, nothing we can do.
