Another few cms overnight here, snowing lightly and some outflow winds makes it feel wintery. Too bad the weekend looks so wet and a bit too mild for snow :cry:

I believe YVR did report snow falling at one point last night, so technically this can not go down as a 100% snow-free winter there.

And that is all that BLI reported. Another trace for me.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Of course I am really worried abour March-May as we know a mild DJF period has historically been followed by a chilly spring. Hoping that's not the case.
As long as it's not cold rain in Spring, which would be probable. If it's chilly and more sun than cloud that would be fine.

I don't know the exact implications, but I would assume more accuracy and higher resolution and faster processing of data.

Nito > NAM, HRRR, GFS. Saw some wet snow in the streetlights last night but it hasn’t gotten below 2c and most mesoscale models now show it drying out pretty quick this morning..maybe #midfebruary will deliver for us :think:

Nope. It will deliver for Barrie Ontarie. We are finished. Winter will begin April 1st.
