No more SSW. Now looks like the cold is sliding East when all the long range modeling indicated otherwise.

Feb looked like a sure bet with a sub 10% chance of a major episode of ridging. Looks like most cold will remain East and North for the next 2 weeks.

Hoping for an offshore flow to at least keep us dry. Looks like we got that going for us.

Bah. **** it all anyways. We got a nice 2 second winter there in January. I hope we get some solid dumps on the mountains the rest of February/March and maybe April.

So the ridgy outcome that only had a 10% chance of verifying is likely the one that verifies. Stupid long range models. :x

As I said on the AF:
Honestly after nearly two straight months of endless precipitation, I can't wait till we get a death ridge, bringing 90s for Portland and upper 70s for here. Oh man, I cannot wait!



Please happen in May, please!!!
I was trolling Jesse because he's a rain/cloud wanker but it's the truth. I can't take the lack of sun here anymore. :x
It always snows in December in the Kootenays :clap:

This is not the AF (not that I've ever been there) and I like it that way...Please remember we're Canadian...and if that's not enough remember what your mother told you...If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.

If you don't like something someone posted and it's not directed at you, just scroll on by. If it's directed at you, please contact a mod and we will address it.

Thank you,

465.8mm in January at Shawnigan lake. “Could” it be the wettest January ever here. I’ll try to check it out later. I’ll bet it’s at least top 3. 400mm+ months are pretty rare.

GFS looks like it might try something around day 10 with that Alaska ridge. Just to keep that small glimmer of hope alive.
