More like model failure. Pitt Meadows struggles to get those totals in an entire La Nina season...never mind Feb 26 to March 10
Throw it out

Steady as she goes. No kuchera for icon maps so it looks a little different.

Pitt might be affected by terrain bleed but it is the euro were talking about.

Encouraging to see the Euro cave to the snowier models instead of the other way 'round.

This is making me feel a lot like the lead-in to February 2019 when I was living near Seattle. Right now we are at that stage where we are exiting clown range yet the models are sticking to super-snowy solutions more than ever. Not quite yet to the point where I will conclude they are probably correct, but the possibility of it being more than just model artifacts is becoming more and more likely with each run.

If, tomorrow afternoon, these model trends are holding, it will be time to get excited.

I got excited already. I will take it even if only 5 or so cm out of this event. Hopefully the accumulated snow, if any, will last for a few days before being washed away and that will make a perfect ending for this winter.

More for Monday.

I love how they've all trended cooler for early next week. Euro started doing it last night too.

There's this idea you shouldn't get your hopes up until the snow is falling. This one's been literally shown on the models with very little variation for over a week now, I think you can safely scream it from the rooftops.

Our tax dollars pay for this.

Going by the models you guys see as of today, what would be your best guess of when the snow would be starting on Saturday?

Between 4-6 pm. (Perfect timing for colder temps)

Ideally a clear night on Friday and the clouds move in around sunrise Saturday.

Looks like we might get some clearance. Then cloudy all Saturday.

hey Buttiees, hope y'all get some good snow on Saturday night. Looks like it.

-12C here at the moment. Not such a snowy forecast here but that could change.

My daughter said she had already heard on the social media about a HUGH snow storm is coming this Saturday! So I guess I am not the only one got excited.

I didn't realize that the upcoming storm already had a name. Not sure if I would have gone with snow storm HUGH.
