Judging from those trend maps I posted...seems like the interior high has been slightly weakening over the past 4 runs and the low is slightly closer to the coast as well. Baby steps!

We are nowhere close to a lock on a solution. There is definitely potential for a region wide snowstorm on the weekend. But it could also bust. :lol:

The only bust will be Nito’s call for 2-5cm across the LM. :roll:

What’s the consensus on the moisture moving on from the island? Will it make it to the valley of is outflow going to kill it?

Radar on EC site is showing a steady east progression for that band stretching from Nanaimo to Victoria. Looks like it could clip South Delta if the outflow doesn't shred it apart.
