The focus of winter's fury will be in western Canada, where near-normal and colder-than-normal temperatures are expected to dominate this upcoming season.

British Columbia

A cold winter is expected across the province, with a heightened risk for periods of severe cold for the B.C. Peace region and arctic outflow events for the south coast region. However, the frigid pattern will relax at times, especially during December.

An active storm track should also bring above-normal snowfall to southern parts of the province, including Vancouver, Victoria, and Kelowna. Much of the south and central coast should see near-normal rain totals with a lower than normal risk for Pineapple Express events. Below-normal precipitation is expected for the north coast region.

However, above-normal snow totals are expected to extend into some areas with near-normal precipitation totals. The colder temperatures should result in less rain and more pure snow events, even across lower elevations.

A solid ski season is expected, including a strong start to the season, especially compared to last year. Snow totals in the alpine regions are not expected to be exceptional, but fewer rain events in the alpine regions should help to preserve the snow that does fall across the region, and colder temperatures will allow for more snowmaking opportunities.

Ridge looks like it may start to retrograde at the end of the EPS.

Some of the other longer range models have hinted at this on and off the past few days.

Something to keep an eye on I guess.

Looks like they're going for a bit of a suppressed jet pattern too, with below average precip on the north and central coast. Would mean we could see a few battleground setups between the cold, dry air to the north and the warm, mild air to the south.

I would like there to be snow in the second half of December. My family is visiting from HK and some have never seen snow before.
Nito, pls ask your pineapple deities to grant this one wish.

Perhaps still things to figure out as we head into December.
