The Arctic front s around Clinton. It might have stalled there for now. Williams Lake dropped from -4 to -14 between 8-9 this am. Even the 11am forecast didn't account for that. Clinton is currently -17 after dropping 9C between 2-3pm this afternoon. Anyone know if it was forecast to be this far south at this time? Based on earlier forecasts, it seems to be over performing.

I noticed earlier today that Bella Bella/Coola were both colder than forecast in the am by several degrees and hours ahead. I guess the cold air is staying north for now. At least its pretty close by and coastal. North coast has been cold for a long time..this winter will go down as a cold in in PRupert. Brrrrr

I see that the terminal forecast for Kamloops calls for it to go westerly, i.e. Arctic front going through at 08-10z

l learnt over the years that due to topography how some locations throughout B.C. have strange wind directions for outlow ie. Kamloops is WNW, Hope is ESE even Agassiz is WNW.
