2017 was bad but this may be a solid 50mm of ice on top of the snow that falls followed by no let up in preciptiation (more rain). The recent droughts the past 2 years have resulted in weakened root and tree structures...It will not take much to down the trees and branches.

Really hoping the ZR forecasts bust and we see southerlies and a rapid warm up instead.

I hear ya. I'm hoping we see a complete collapse of model consensus and we stay in the freezer with some light snow and then crisp sunny days.

I know, wishcast, but here we are.

Airport already dropped to temp -10.7 dew -17.9

With clear skies and deep snow is it possible to drop significantly below the modeled 850T?

A bit of cooling in the long range. Hopefully a mountain snow pattern and that the AR pattern is short lived.

-38c in Vanderhoof this morning and it warmed to -29c today, warmest in 3 days.
