January 2022 Forecasts and Discussions

Oh my Hope down to -4c now dewpoint -6c l wonder if a convergence zone sets up somewhere the ingredients might be there Arctic air filtering in moisture moving in.

Some of EC's forecasts this am remind me of The Fonz from Happy Days: They just can't admit they were wrrrrrong. High of -6 in Kamloops?! That was garbage from yesterday rehashed in their 5am forecast. I think they'll be lucky to climb above -10. Wouldn't be surprising if it falls through the day there. And -1 for Hope?! In this case, however, I don't mind that they're wrrrrrr-rrrr-rrong.

I'd be surprised if any SW coastal/SL areas get more than 5cm with Weds night storm. Temps are so marginal. One slight warm push and its all over for the coastal dwellers.
Snowtotals from last night anyone? I know Monty got 6-7cm already. Nice score. Looks like most the action is done for now until that next wave W of Victoria drops anything..looks like it is ramping up too

The Farctic front has passed thru Hope already

Hope down to -5c, Agassiz -1c.

@Mattman
EC says temp steady near -1c for Hope today. Just saying..
Temp is dropping hard and heavy there , just like the snow that fell around here

I wouldn’t be so sure… maybe only 5 cm on the immediate coast, but still think 15–25 cm is a good guess for most of the metro area based on last night’s studying the models. It’s not going to be a big arctic blast, but it should be cooler with lower dew points Wednesday; a push of cooler air from the east has been very consistent in the models. Models have also been consistent on there being ample moisture.

And Mark Madryga agrees with the 15–25 cm assessment:
