Two areas of Low pressure. The one due west of Tofino completely fizzled out. Looks like the "main low" is just off the coast of Ocean Shores....

I take it nothing at your locale yet? I wouldn’t worry too much  radar shows a precipitation shield moving in.
It's called clown range for a reason.

More snow than rain now at my house now in Nanaimo. There were a few gusts of wind and that was that for the rain for now.

Re: January 2021 Forecasts and Discussions
Snow picking up in intensity now. I really hope this makes it's way down to sea level for a region wide snowfall.

Re: January 2021 Forecasts and Discussions
Definitely a snizzle here: teeny tiny little slushy flakes. Heavier precip rates would really help, but that may be asking for a lot with this system. Just not many strong echoes on the radar.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Re: January 2021 Forecasts and Discussions
No, just overall..precip has been barely falling..was hoping for a bit of a head start. Snowing lightly here..smaller flakes higher intensity. Maybe 3mm so farRubus_Leucodermis wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 7:36 am I take it nothing at your locale yet? I wouldn’t worry too much  radar shows a precipitation shield moving in.
I think this area will do well later

Re: January 2021 Forecasts and Discussions
Considering my (lack of) elevation, and how marginal this set-up is, I think I’m doing pretty good to have gotten anything at all. I think the radiational cooling I got before the overcast moved in really worked to my advantage.
I can always drive to the hills this afternoon. Should stay all snow up there. Pomoman will probably be happy today.
