Of course we could end up in the icebox if everything goes a few notches east.
More colder if it goes the other way.

Just go outside and enjoy the sun, freshly fallen snow and cold temps.

Does it matter what happens a week from now?

We all know it will eventually warm up and rain :dancepine:

Uhhh...well...

Your lucky Gumps no further accumulations over night at the pond, l wouldn't know it's so windy it could have blown into a snow drift.
Slyts might know perhaps but he seemscto have disappeared like my car almost did yesterday.

Pretty decent snow cover in most corners of the Mainland. Don't know official snow depth at YVR, but it shouldn't be too shabby either. It seems EC is still going super conservative with just -10 as the low. I think we'll blast through below that even at the airport.

Still lots of ensemble spread for early January. Many members stay arctic.

As is I thought the euro has improved to extend the cold snap through Saturday. Many places could see a week straight below freezing. Hard to complain about that.

Euro has been unusually poor this winter. I'd side with the GEM. :thumbup:

O.k. thanks Jr. Man :thumbup: l was going to ask about that.
It's just that Micheal Snyder guy the other night said the preferred model of choice is the EURO, l guess it can't be right all the time.

Gonna be tough to get a clear night over here. I doubt it clears tonight and tomorrow night looks like it’ll probably see light snow moving down from the NW

Anyone post a day 10-15 eps lately

All the many times of disappointment l'm thoroughly enjoying this especially during the holiday's couldn't have scripted any better. :thumbup:
Another 2.5cm overnight
Low of -10°
Currently -8.5 ..can't see getting higher than -5°
D.P. -15
Light outflow winds

Will put my new toque to the test , haven't worn one in many years,hate wearing hats.
