12z Euro.

Thanks Bonovox for taking your time to post these charts! Appreciate it

Yup. 24+ hours out and still such a toss up. Rain or snow or mixed and where? I still think this is a snowscore locally with some areas getting hammmmmmmered.

The models have actually converged on this being good for Whatcom County, Southern VI, and the Northern Olympic Peninsula. The real question is how realistic they are, i.e. how far down the snow levels will end up being dragged.

33 cm Chilliwack, 52 cm Hope. Don’t think either is going to happen.

I’ve seen these maps verify before

That is about what I am expecting at my place. No way am I going to see all of the modeled 10 cm accumulate on the ground.

Winter storm warning in effect for:

Similkameen
Hazardous winter conditions are expected.

A deepening Pacific low will make its way across Washington state on Monday. Abundant moisture associated with the system combined with cold air to the north of its trajectory will produce heavy snowfall across the southern interior of British Columbia.

Snow will begin early Monday morning and intensify rapidly. It will taper off late Monday night. Snowfall amounts will range from 25 to 35 cm.

Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. Public Safety Canada encourages everyone to make an emergency plan and get an emergency kit with drinking water, food, medicine, a first-aid kit and a flashlight.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@canada.ca or tweet reports using #BCStorm.

I think Cat's Hill is in trouble tomorrow in the pm (Heavy snow incoming)
and PornoMan will be stuck on mountaintop for 12 hours

Sorry i meant in Metro Vancouver, up to the cold rain donut hole of Abby, but no further East to be more specific.

Yeah, definitely not looking so great for Vancouver right now.
