EC went -8 last night and -5 tonight. Clearly it's going to be the other way around :lol:

Edit: I should add I also got it very wrong for last night but at least I said -7 tonight for the contest which looks achievable.

Well, I'm sitting at -4.1 currently which was my low last night.
DP is -16
Humidity 39% (Wow!)
Skies look mostly clear.
Winds still gusting but not as strong as earlier.

I'm not kidding but I experienced Nitos dust storm this afternoon. Driving down 168 towards 32 Ave in the farmland the wind was so strong it was blowing all the soil into huge dust clouds so thick it looked like smoke! I tried to record it on my dashcam, not sure if it worked, but it was so funny to see and actually experience Nitos stupid dust storm. It was cool. Some cars were afraid to go through because it was so thick. So that was my excitement for today.

And yet other places in Canada can be bone dry and yet have feetz of snow. So stupid.

Almost as exciting as snow :lol: :lol: That would be something to see.

-4.1 here, clear skies. It's too cold out, just got in from feeding the horses and sheep and double checking that the light was on in the pump house, my boots were frozen to the floor. Looking forward to warmer nights.

6z NAM and RGEM have both introduced a bit of moisture Saturday. ICON stuck to its guns.

Looking at things at this moment. Seeing that low offshore tapping into some sub tropical moisture. Looks juicy. Makes me think cyclogenesis. I believe this bumps north on other models to be more inline with the euro.

20cm possible at YYJ on Sat. Can't remember the last time that happened three years in a row.
