Seeing some clearing out to my east. But still cloudy with flurries here. Temp down to -7.1. Hope it clears tonight.

This was my biggest concern now for the past few days too. It's going to be a gong show! Not looking forward to that part of it!

Woke up to -14.9C here in East Abby near whatcom. Was a bit colder at the end of last year though, even thought that's hard to believe!

I like how the GFS has trended cooler after early next week. No lowland snow but way more Mountain snow. The GEM on the other hand... :thumbdown:

It’s really hard to say how long the upper levels stay cold enough at this point. I like 5-10cm. But wouldn’t be surprised to 15cm

The GEM has a warm bias to counteract the GFS cold bias. Truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
