Euro seemed much further north with the track of the low compared to some other models. Not great for here. Nanaimo to CR get nailed.
To be honest, I'd rather have the Euro on our side then any other model. :thumbup:

Well, get your sleep. If the Euro leads the way, the brunt of the moisture doesn't move in until 4am.

Why do we always get the crap stick? An 11PM start would have been great. Now we will just wake up to pleasure or pain. :problem:

I'm staying up until 1AM :tp:

we have some brisk winds here, but I can still see a hazy moon through the clouds. Winds are from the ESE, so not yet from a favourable direction for accumulating snow.
