January 2025 Forecasts And Discussions

[Storm]

You are completely right! You can post cold predictions for next winter and they will hype up a 2026 winter, but once you post a map 200 hours out that doesn't fit the cold narrative they want, then you are a " troll" or my all-time favorite, "You don't know what you're talking about; I've been following the weather for years."

That forum is such a joke.

At least people post there. This place has been dead, one reason I don't post here anymore.

A bunch of dancing Bananas and Pineapples which I don't really find entertaining.

Welp, we're left with nothing but posting these;

One way to not let it die is to not stop posting. I mean the weather is garbage but I and some others still manage to post maps and try to keep the hope alive.

So... you admit it's not actually dead, but people are just posting the wrong things. I see why you prefer the AF.

Let's be real, there's basically nothing happening weather-wise. There's nothing consistent in the models, let alone within the believable range. It's pure randomness right now.

If the models were in any kind of agreement about something good happening, we'd probably have 20 pages of posts daily.

More clown range entertainment from the 18Z GFS. I finally get my old school arctic outflow windstorm.

Only 15 days away!

It is #Feb though….

I feel like #Feb could have as surprise or two for us… at least I hope so.

The AF's is definitely more active but they also have some members who can somehow find big potential in the least promising model runs. In other words, they overhype everything but it leads to a more active community. This forum, on the other hand, becomes active when there is there is a legit chance of some exciting weather in the future. While this forum may be less active during boring weather, it also lacks the unnecessary drama that exists on the AF's as a result of the clown range maps that some of them overhype. The lack of drama on here is something I really appreciate. That said, I love both this forum and the AF's. I just love weather communities in general and while I'd prefer no drama, I'm able to laugh at it rather than getting offended or annoyed by it.

Another beautiful fantastic day. Beats the drizzle, light rain and clouds.

I know members want snow and extreme cold but this is the next best you can hope for.

[AbbyJr]

You would think the law of averages would give us one shot this winter, since the East keeps winning? Who knows. We will see.

I actually think we will get at least some cold onshore flow with marginal low elevation snow chances. Potential for more significant cold but my confidence in that is low. But as always, I will be monitoring the model trends and sharing clown range entertainment on here.

Looks like that elusive #PGHigh there Jr.

Already down to 0.5c in east Coquitlam. Hopefully the clouds and/or fog don't move in too early. Might be able to score a season low -4c tonight.
