Just reading the NWS and guess what my buttees down there are saying?

"but sadly, being the day 6 and 7 time frame does carry the usual caveats regarding forecasting that far out. "

So we have much hope after 6 to 7 days. YESSSSSSS :crazy: :crazy:
January 2025 incoming..looks like more Pineapples..Happy New Year! :think:

I was also going to add that from some very unscientific observations, it does seem to be colder and snowier in parts of western Canada/ BC. Just not right out at the coastal locations. N and NE BC seems to be quite cold so far. Southern interior BC seems to have gotten off to quite a snowy start :shh: :shh:
I dont like back loaded Ninas..too short of a winter season around here..we need it to start asap. 2008 was golden..started around Dec 12?..lasted for almost 2 weeks. Thats my kinda winter :clap: :clap:

Snowing in the high peaks then..at least there is snowpack building up high :thumbup:
Seems that snow levels should be decently low (considering sad winter start...again) around here next cupla days,,could be worse i guess..like bommy 4500 foot snow levels or worse.

00z GFS with very good news within HR 144. Ridge looks healthier and strong which bodes well for a mild and dry week for Christmas!

Image

Watch for potential lowland snow late Monday with some energy with the departing trough. N to S gradient not favorable for LM but better for Puget Sound.. but models been all over the placw.
