That's not good if you want winter weather...

We have seen snow before without an SSW.

This should be said. We can see snow without a SSW. So the obsession about it can relax lol

Not very familiar with the Bering sea rule, but (assuming it verifies) wouldn't that correlate to a deep trough across the east sometime in the first few weeks of Jan?

Would prop up a massive ridge over the west towards late month and a deep eastern trough. This would be an ideal progression of winter in the west...as undercutting could lead to retrogression in a typical La Nina setup. Waiting for models to converge on this to see the reaction of the AW forums.

I think many here know winter will be backloaded. Mid Jan, Feb and March seem like prime months if it materializes.

Drizzle and 4ËšC.

Drove to Whistler today. Not much snow falling there but there was a nice cell parked over the area between Alice Lake and Garibaldi. Also Squamish itself had some accumulating snow away from the water.

Apparently it was a going show on the Cypress Bowl road with vehicles all over and off the road. Even those with proper tires were being turned away

yikes. Glad I didn't even try. Between the insanely slow drivers and the ones who go too fast, it's just not a good time.

I might be tempted to check out Seymour tomorrow after work though.

Wouldn't it benefit us if the PV weakens?

Sooner the better...Any SSW has a 14-21 day lag.

If it bombs far enough west it can build the ridge into Alaska. I’m thinking that happened in November a few years back. Typhoon nuri? Perhaps I’d have to think on it.
