I'm honestly more interested in late Monday onward as the whole atmospheric column is sufficiently cold by then

If I could use that more than 18 hours out I'd be all over it.

Every 6 hours it goes out 48 (IIRC) hours.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Been fairly good for last 2 snowfalls. I had close to 15cm on each of them. Yesterday / today I got none and it said none. But north shore got a little and so did hope.

I'd be very surprised if that one fell apart. Seems ready to lock in.

More like port Mann special. Ugh. Might have to call in sick that day if that insanity verified.

Looking for rain/heat to melt the rest of this slush. My least fav part of snow walking in that crap. I never cleaned my car from any of the snow events (didn’t drive it) and it’s basically cleared itself off today so that’s nice lol

I live in an RV and it's leaking right now due to the melt. Massive icycles falling is kind of scary as well especially for our pets. Probably could've done a better job when it was all just fluffy powder.

Yup. The 00, 06, 12 and 18Z go out 48 hours. Although it really is a short term model.

It definitely looks that way, but it is close to being good for almost everyone.
