Remember, the Euro called for a big dump Tuesday night. NAM 3km said a few slushy cm. Which was right?
Actually the euro didn’t call for a big dump within a few days. It backed off much more than this time.

Meanwhile in Nevada/California, 10ft+ of snow is expected in mountain passes over the next few days and it's anticipated that the record for most snowfall in a single day is going to be broken at over 1 meter in 24 hours :shock:

Lots of instability to the South of us on the radar this morning.

Interested to see what the afternoon brings!

What are the surface temps during the action? The Walmart maps look pretty good (maybe just BELOW freezing).

So Nito is saying the high hills of Westside Van will score? I remember once way back..forecast similar to this one. Low formed in the unstable airmass...and stalled near Victoria..dumped about 30cms in Kerrisdale. Must have been around 2000. Amazing HUGE fluffy flakes for hours :flakey: :flakey:
Late January 2002? That was a big one.
