December 2020 Forecasts and Discussions

[Storm]

Looks good for Monty.

After further extrapolation, it seems that way.

Certainly seems that way. Looks like a good setup for Parksville - Campbell River.

The traditional development a low pressure with a katafront hinders LM snow potential with this one. Too much warm air gets injected ahead of the initial precip wave.

Hey guys, according to google maps traffic, Cypress Bowl Rd is closed till midnight. Anyone know anything?

Yeah gonna be hard to get accumulating snow in Victoria with that one.

[wetcoast91]

Gets close for sure.

[Esquimalt39]

Gets close for sure.

I feel like the precipitation rates aren't heavy enough.

Funny how we all call Wetcoast 'Nito' still. He leaves a lasting first impression, kinda like a wet fart!

Remember back in Sept when it was snowing in Banff and on the Coquihalla and it looked like we were getting an early winter, then the typical anus released its gas... there is nothing more depressing than our winters. Leighbugs hasn't even been on the forum it's so bad!

I was up at the Coq during that cold spell. -13 at night. Don’t think they have come close since. I too thought it was the start of a decent winter. Still early though... anything can happen.

At least we have a chance with that track.

Heavier precip = stronger system = further North?

[Catnip]

Starting to get a bit breezy out.

Precip rates aren't too off. The digging of that trough brings rise to stronge frontogenesis - surging katafront which props too much warm air up to 5km ahead of the front. Surface winds and adiabatic cooling would support snow down to sea level if we had a cooler source of air aloft or in the interior.

Windiest part of the day right now but I guess the wind warning was another bust.

Getting some fairly heavy rain too.

THINK FALLEN TREES, POWER OUTAGES, BRIDGE COLLAPSES AND DEATHS!!! CMON!!!!!

If the low hugged the coast a bit more we'd be in a better spot too.
