Close to Trout Lake currently, and have lived in and around here for past 12 years, but moving to West Van next month. Be interesting to live on the North Shore and see how different weather is across the water

Hmm. My place isn't terribly close to Trout Lake but maybe I'll pick up my first accumulating snowfall of the season. Can't check though, work now.

Ok, here is the 12Z.



Snow spreads in over the Island Friday morning.

12Z ECMWF finally caves. Further south with storm track Thurs-Sat. Precip shield extends north but lighter amounta. Showing 5-10cm but I see stronger pressure gradients indicating stronger outflow. Realistically 2-5cm?

2011 situation averted.

I've noticed that the Weathermodels site often does this, whereas the Weatherbell site shows snow.

They really need to work on their programming.

We just don't win, do we?

Latest ECMWF comes in south (bah) Saturday’s system but does seem to work its way northwards… eventually.

You would think that this would be an awesome track for drawing in cold air.

Snow is really coming down now.

It appears that the western sections of Metro will start seeing some heavier cells soon.

Don't believe the propaganda. Several more runs to go. 2-5 cm?

Pretty sure we would hang on to a bit more cold than that shows

If it showed more he wouldn't post about it.

You know the drill.

Nito’s been hacking again.

That Low west of N/Central Van isle is doing its work. The clouds have not been pushed out to the coast by the weak arctic push. Instead clouds are staying stationary, as the Low pumps up the moisture. If anything, the clouds are building up dropping some heavy flurries. Why is this happening Nito? I thought it was bone dry front coming at us?

[Catnip]

Today feels like the type of day that may over-perform.
