Windy and 8ËšC this morning. Will downsloping be enough to get to a Nito-approved 10ËšC? Maybe, but overall setup today is a tad on the chilly side for that. Lots of cold rain yesterday evening.
It's called clown range for a reason.

It’s funny how when we want cold and snow it is hour 384, but when it is the opposite, hour 384 is gospel. ;)

I know but it's just one of the ways we have fun. Keeps us all entertained. :thumbup: :lol:

That said, 384 hr maps are usually useless especially during a SSW.

I don’t put much faith in model runs that far out no matter what they say.

Yes, Jr. I was referring specifically to the Nito troll job. ;)

There is a difference between putting faith in them and looking for trends. The latter can be useful.

I have to drive the coq this Sunday to drop my daughter off at university...I saw someone mention that it looks bad :sick: :sick: any insight? Thank you 😊
Doesn’t look as bad as it could during winter. Light snow and okay visibility. I would rely more on the highway cams on the morning of departure though.

I'm up at Seymour now. Not snowing surprisingly. It was light sleet when I arrived and now there is no precip which is even more surprising.

Tons of snow on the ground though!
It always snows in December in the Kootenays :clap:
