The 00Z GEM continues to show a major AR on Friday through Saturday morning. It looks close to a Pineapple Express as the moisture source is around the northern tip of Hawaii. It also appears to be taking a track favourable for the higher rain totals to extend into the Fraser Valley.

This is typical of a Nina-ish winter which is backloaded in the JFM period. You are setting yourself up for disappointment if you are looking for snow and cold in January.

is on the menu for another 2 weeks. May as well enjoy the inversion now.

For some reason I have a feeling that if we don't score an arctic blast in mid to late December, we will get one in early to mid January.

Euro AI is still showing some below normal temps around mid month.

Might sneak in some 12c rain which will make someone on here very happy!

Min of -0.3˚C here. Foggy, but it’s shallow enough to be bluish overhead. Looks like a sunny afternoon might be on tap.

12Z GFS brings back ridging in the LR. This winter is mirroring 2015-16 so far.
