January 2022 Forecasts and Discussions

Abby temps will spike like usual due to those S winds.

But what if we get warm snow instead in many areas instead of cold rain. Is that possible Nito? 925s at 1-2c but surface temps cold enough for wet snow still?

ECMWF and GFS both are now programmed that water freezes at +2.

It will be fine...cool and wet at worst. 925s cool right back Monday..looks like snow right Nito?
EC still has up to 10cms at "higher levels" in the Vanc forecast thru to Sunday morning..then goes to relatively bommy showers/rain for the next 3 days. Seems weird to warm up so much. Not sure what they are looking at. Maybe they are right..or wrong?

Get up Nito we need your analysis here. We know the 925's will be 1-2c. But what about Monday+?

Also, no sign of WP's update is usually not a good thing either

No sign of Tyler either on Twitter….

I believe someplace in the interior not that far east gets lots of snow and cold in the winter. One of our posters once told us about it. Can you remember where it was?

haha who said dat?

Yeah , EC has also removed my storm watch warning and replaced it with a wind warning, that sucks , not even an overrunning event. High winds usually translates into much less precipitation, but wind warnings sometimes bust as well.

This not good. Looks like Nitos warm foot in the door is causing the temperatures to rise
Nito should be awake soon and on here after diaper changes are done

Huge difference between GEM and GFS... explains a lot.

is it too late to bring back December Gumps, l've got the time tunnel that T4 left behind or are we lost in space on gilligan's island, with a forecast out of the twilight zone.
Perhaps we might have to take a voyage to the bottom of the sea to find out.

GFS says Squamish gets continual snow, heavy at times, for around 48+ hours
They probably will! Wintergirl, get the snowblower ready!

Are you forfeiting tonight's game? has your forecast come down with Omicron.? appears sick to me.

Yeah that explains it, they've even, warmed the central valley to temps. that Victoria was supposed to see this week, not only that Hope has the central valley 's temps. now.
And the winter storm warning reads like something out of a Alfred Hitchcock novel.
