Clown range alert?

Just saw that. Finally even just some eye candy to look at. That Bellingham snow ensemble is intriguing too. Thats not very far away.

The next 10 days looks promising for the Similkameen. I will be there over the holidays. As i have said before, you guys should book a vacation there for a few days mid winter to experience almost guaranteed winter victories! Heck, even Nito may enjoy going there for a resounding defeat and his pineapples freezing solid like a couple of oversized grenades hahaha.
I'm keeping an eye on the tracks of several Lows that will cross the area over the next several days..hoping the snow keeps piling up!

Border still closed, dammit.

I think he just likes to cause drama. Its unfortunate. Best to ignore it rather than respond and give him the negative attention he is seeking.

I just got him to complain that I was “irritating.” LOL.

I'm honestly not sure how some of you can spend more than a minute or two on there. It is the same people bickering back and forth about the same thing day in and day out... year after year after year. One good model run and the next ice age is coming!

You certainly have more patience than I do.

A few model runs showing vaguely promising trends a week or or more out, so of course the American forum is talking about a replay of 1950 again. It’s hilarious.

I know some of them are really...special. but are you sure they're not just messing around a lot of the time?

There's good posters there and maps and it's quite entertaining.

Who knows? I’m not the best at getting non-linguistic cues to start with, and when you start communicating in print that gets even harder.

They do...

A word of caution: a week or so ago there was a sudden onset of snow in that same ensemble, and I believe it was also exactly a fortnight in the future. Apparently the same thing has also happened for other stations. There’s speculation on the American forum (where I got that), that what we are seeing there is an artifact of the model. If they decrease the resolution two weeks out, then due to elevation averaging KBLI might appear to be a foothill station.

Given that, I would find the runs that show a chance of light snow early next week to be more intriguing.

Ah gotcha. It does seem early for anything crazy.

I guess you will have to settle on Levenworth. It is worth noting Hawk2 that officially we are not supposed to be travelling to Princeton either with the current health orders from Metro Vancouver.

They are just really hopeful.

Not a horrible trend?

[Rubus_Leucodermis]

They are just really hypeful.

FTFY.

Yeah, if you wade through the noise there is some pretty good weather talk there. I enjoy it.
