Light dusting of wet snow here overnight. Low was 0.8C, which is the coldest it's gotten so far this fall/winter.

This isn't restricted to the PNW. Great winters are becoming confined to one small corner of the world, in this year's case it's the far Northwest.
You are best to move to the snowbelt areas in the Great Lakes or the Praries if you are winter weather enthusiast.. A 1-2C in seasonal norms have already made a huge difference in seeing lowland snow with zonal airmasses and cool maritime airmasses. The warmer SST off the Coast are just compounding matters.

Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

it looks like Abby was getting some of this last night with the winds from the NE..enough to have some flakes falling in Mission :think:
You might be right John! Lets hope so :thumbup:

Yes, yes: I know. The can is still being kicked down the road. Not to mention :14clown:. Still think the first half of January has real potential.

NAM and GFS are look pretty bad. SW Metro Vancouver could see sustained 50-70km/hr winds but gusts could reach 120km/hr. I feel that might be conservative though.

I think the Euro/GEM are wrong in showing this fizzle out.

The incoming windstorm may be like our "Heavy Snowfall Warnings", meaning basically 50/50 and we could get 30cms or 3cms :think:

NAM is kinda on its own now. The GFS has trended towards the Euro.
