Euro looks similar at the 500mb level but I dont have the snowmaps so I guess we'll see.Willoughby wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 7:33 pm I saw the same thing with the NAM too.
Seems like it’s been gradually hinting at Thursday AM system coming in colder last few runs.
My gut feeling all along was that the t-storm activity around the Indian Ocean are really throwing the models for a loop, especially anywhere mid to long term and that a good bet was for chilly NW flow with multiple borderline fringe snow events for the next couple weeks.

I’d ask about the 00z GFS maps, but I’m beginning to think it’s got the accuracy and ingenuity of this...

Re: February 2020 Forecasts and Discussions
I've wondered the same thing but I doubt we see the arctic solutions return on the models. But its unlikely we stay mild and ridgy. Chilly NW flow with marginal snow chances possible. May end up a bit colder then some models currently show.Willoughby wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 7:33 pm I saw the same thing with the NAM too.

I cannot wait for the first 20C and sunny/windy day.
It always snows in December in the Kootenays

Re: February 2020 Forecasts and Discussions
20C? Probably looking at April, although March has delivered a few in recent years. We're basically back to all chilly/zonal for the next two weeks with some intermittent sunshine.

Snowing in the desert (more specifically, my parents place in New Mexico) this morning.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Will probably all melt by this afternoon, because that’s the normal fate of desert snow here.
