BTW, EC’s forecast for Metro Vancouver now mentions “rain showers or flurries” for Saturday night.
It's called clown range for a reason.

If he was still holding out hope for a big christmas miracle then he's very unaware of what's going on with model trends. It's been dire for like 72 hours now. Really, it never got that close. The GFS was just doing GFS things.

He butts heads with the eastern weenies on X everyday. Pretty hilarious this season since all the cold has favoured them for weeks now. :lol:

This is for the simple reason that cold and snow often follow pineapple fests after a week or three.
pretty cautious statement lolol.

And i agree, after a ~2 month #patternlock of mild rains, i would say the chances are high that we get "at least some" cold and snow. If i was a gambler, i would agree 80-90% that this "may" happen haha

We will soon find out!
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

Hopeful for some positive trends in model land as we approach the end of this week.
the models are pretty accurate inside 48 hours, then usually good inside 96 hours. After that, the numbers dwindle quickly :14clown: :14clown:
So does anyone REALLY know what the weather is going to be Dec 24? No way. Models could show AR 8 days away, then flurries a few runs later. Lets hope for option B :thumbup: :thumbup:

Cmonnnnnnn

On this day in 1964, YVR recorded a high/low of -10.0c/-16.7c. Windchill temp dipped to -27c. :chilly:

A suppressed jet pattern in December 1964 led to some extreme weather along the west coast during the month. Was one of the coldest and driest Decembers on record for many parts of the north and central coast region, while simultaneously being amongst the snowiest of record for many locales across the south coast. Further to our south, it was one of the wettest on record along the Oregon and Northern California coast as the suppressed jet led to multiple AR events which caused significant flooding.

Our region was frequently ground zero between cold and dry (to the north) and warm and wet (to the south). Big temp contrast led to multiple large snowfalls throughout the second half of the month.

Sadly, you could almost use the same digits this year, except add a ++ to them instead :shock: :shock:
