January 2022 Forecasts and Discussions

Pretty much
Look at what happened this am. 5 to 9cm of snow. Even tho EC kinda called it, most people on here closed the book on snow chances with this front. I dunno.

They called for 10-15 cms for my area, so was hoping to have received more than a dusting.

Seems the precip line was running SW to NE and my area was just too far South.

I’m starting to feel that there is a bit more I’m right, you’re wrong sense of mentality on here.

We’ve always had it here in the past in a joking/friendly jab sort of way, but it seems to have taken a turn toward the more serious side more recently.

Would be nice if we can head back to the more friendly side of things.

Haha this seems to always happen when the warm air arrives..people get angry

I am going to question at least the first map and say most of that is either cold rain or Teflon for Metro Van given 925s largely near or above 0 until Mon morning.

GFS has been snowy from Monday morning onward for the last 5 days.

I truly believe he is mixing up the hours

I’m talking about Tuesday night through Thursday morning. There is real possibility in that time frame. I just have not bought into it 100% yet. Between now and then, mostly rain for lower elevations.

Who got snow this am? I don't think I got any precip at all...

Good point Nito.
I was going to say the same thing once the front actually comes ashore who thinks it will change from rain showers to heavy snow in some areas? My money is on that.

If it’s slow moving or stalls at all……..heavy snow

I’ll believe it when I see it. I think the models are hung over from New Years.

I’m on team snow too but I’m not sure I trust that models precip output in borderline set ups. I hope you’re right although commuting this week would be hellish.

What were the 925s modeled at when u got your snow last night?

Blame it on warm air, just like Milli Vanilli blamed it on the rain.

Rufus, van city and someone from north van got a bunch off the top of my head. I had the dustiest of dustings.

Very little precipitation around here as well.

The front was stalled further North and seemed to just brush the area.

[Bonovox]

Squamish got hit pretty good.

Cold was getting boring. I personally like more active patterns. Strong lows, wild temp swings, windstorms, heavy rain and snow with dynamic fronts.

That's just me though.
