I recall hearing someone on here say that the GFS led the way prior to the December 2008 blast? Can someone verify whether this is true or not?

Speaking of warmer weather...how about we all try to predict Max temps for tomorrow? Start a new thread? And the winner gets the title of Chester Guessed'er.
3 cities and closest wins?

Can an admin move it later so many friends can see it first and then participate..thanks! :clap: :clap:

Add a "thus far" at the end of my last post.

This is like Dec 2007. SFU kept getting slammed but was always a slop or a mix over the lower hills.

Abbotsford had 30.2 cm fall at YXX December 2, 2007. Thats not a slop or mix.

Wow Nito bashers are in full force. I get it..it's been a sad season full of bommy rains and split flow. But don't blame Nito..he calls it like he sees it. :clap: :clap:

Edit: Makes the odd error..but don't we all?
