3km NAM trending wet vs white. :thumbdown: Last two runs have significantly lowered snow amounts for Sunday night and Monday.

Looks like the RGEM and HRDPS is trending in a similar direction as well. Euro still looks decently snowy though.

This could easily bust but I have a feeling we will score some significant snow before February. :thumbup:

Its going to be a nowcast for those who aren't sleeping. Models keep going back and forth. Battle between available moisture and temperature.

I have a feeling the snowy solutions will win though assuming we have enough available moisture. This is an overnight event with no solar radiation and enough cold air with it given the NW flow. I hope I'm right. :thumbup:

Our rug might’ve just been pulled jr. The gfs and euro have been saying this for a while. I’m not at all trying to be negative but that is definitely concerning. At least Hollander and petterson tied the game.

Pretty well same as in langford. I took my daughter to hockey at 2 little cloud coverage and left within the hr to full clowd coverage. Before I had left it was 5 degrees. Doubt it dropped any more. 😬

If everything should bust you guys can blame me. I bought salt for a just in case (husband is going for a hip replacement before 40 years old) just couldn't contribute to making it worse.
