Bit worried that maps are underdoing precip. 30cm-50cm this weekend? Near blizzard conditions for the Valley with strong outflow and a potential brief icing for E Metro Van.

Yes, please!

T3, Monty, Nito, this is a question for you. With that west-southwesterly track on the Saturday system, could we expect precipitation enhancement in the Victoria area from north easterlies meeting the westerly flow?

Depends on how much outflow makes it out there. Track looks promising for enhancememt but temps look to br an xfactor.

Nito are you trying to reverse psychology the weather?

The trend from run to run is fairly astounding. I wish it was during the week so we could get a long long weekend out of it.

So you mean the models are struggling? Flipn n flopn?

Oh nm I misread..

Puntzi Mnt in the Chilcotin was forecast at something like -33 and hit -40, so ya, some pretty big misses today! Clinton seems to take the cake
though.

EDIT: actually, Clinton has two stations, and the "airport" is close to 10 degrees colder in the mornings this time of year. I believe the forecast for Clinton is actually at the other station (CLINTON RCS), so not as big a miss as it seems.

That makes sense actually. The airport is up on the plateau

Quite possibly. Ideally you want the low pressure just to your SW with the Fraser outflow feeding into that NE sector of the storm.

No wind yet here but forecast says tomorrow they start, hoping! Love me some outflow winds howling! Cold and spectacular day here in the gorgeous sun! Snow would be better though! Any insight on how strong the winds will be for Squamish?

Potential is there with that track. At face value, I'd lean towards yes.

The path the Saturday low takes on the Euro looks eerily similar to the Dec 21st, 2008 snowstorm if you remember that one.

I know I wanted a 7 day weekend Monday is a pro d day then tack on 3 snow days

[Forrest Gump]

I'm not "excited" about any of this snow until it's actually snowing. I haven't had anything since Dec 21 except a few traces of snow.

On another note, many people in the radio industry just lost their jobs today. TSN 1040 is no more.

That sucks , much preferred the characters on TSN1040 than SN 650 . It was probably gonna happen sooner or later,tough for 2 competing sports stations to co-exist.

Currently 0° dp -12

That track did not favour the valley.
