I'm not "excited" about any of this snow until it's actually snowing. I haven't had anything since Dec 21 except a few traces of snow.

On another note, many people in the radio industry just lost their jobs today. TSN 1040 is no more.

Looking to be a shortened version of 2019. Nice region wide event. South scores first, then you guys score later in the weekend!

Particularly from Abbotsford eastward.
It's called clown range for a reason.

That’s generally how the good regionwide totals happen.

And here is the regular snowfall map, same time period.

Looks good. I’m in the edge of the whitish colour. Snow is white so that’s a good sign.

Bit worried that maps are underdoing precip. 30cm-50cm this weekend? Near blizzard conditions for the Valley with strong outflow and a potential brief icing for E Metro Van.

T3, Monty, Nito, this is a question for you. With that west-southwesterly track on the Saturday system, could we expect precipitation enhancement in the Victoria area from north easterlies meeting the westerly flow?

Puntzi Mnt in the Chilcotin was forecast at something like -33 and hit -40, so ya, some pretty big misses today! Clinton seems to take the cake
though.

EDIT: actually, Clinton has two stations, and the "airport" is close to 10 degrees colder in the mornings this time of year. I believe the forecast for Clinton is actually at the other station (CLINTON RCS), so not as big a miss as it seems.

Mud? :lol:

Kidding, only my dog likes to eat the sheep poo-cicles.
But it is nice to have that mud freeze out here, it's been way too muddy for way too long.

The trend from run to run is fairly astounding. I wish it was during the week so we could get a long long weekend out of it.
