I was surprised to wake up to 2cm of snow. Just north of us in Qualicum and Dashwood what started as a few flakes, turned into a white out

Yah, l looked at the Cassidy airport Nanaimo and afew flakes were falling there 30 min. ago must be just enough outflow crossing the strait it looks like.

GFS is quite juicy next week (after Sunday 16). Even the ECMWF shows some rain.
Please just tell me it's not gonna rain at 1,500 m on the 16/17th...

The models have been struggling lately. I think at 1500 m at this time of the year you should be fine..hopefully flurries and nice new fresh recent snows

When the 850s are sitting at the bottom, there's unfortunately only one way they can go and that is up.

for the short/mid range from the NWS:

Lots of variability in the forecast for Thursday night into
Friday as the low weakens and moves inland over Oregon.

If the models are struggling trying to figure out whats going down in 3 days, how do the models know whats happening in the 12-15 day period?


Happy Monday John!

Kinda sucks when the forum goes quiet may not see many members till next season.

Good mountain snow run on the euro. Not sure if it's happening or not but I'd love to go powder skiing soon.

Looks like cold will dominate out Eastward with a potential SSW event that favours E based cold until mid March.

We could see a very warm and dry period until maybe late March and April. The Euro spat out some mid teens temps with sunshine
