Ah yes 1996 Nov. Mark Messier played for the Knucks my son was born that month, it snowed (wet) the day after we brought my son home. We had thunder that month too. And we hit a high of 17c at YVR that month. It's Nov. 1985 that takes the cake.
In terms of cold, November 1985 wins hand down. However...it was relatively dry with about 5-20cm on the ground for two weeks.
If we're going by most significant November snows, I would include 1911, 1955, 1996 or 2006 on that list. Probably missing a few but these are just off the top of my head.

What characterizes above all a change of air mass is the evolution of the dew point. The temperature evolves in a second time.
By the way, Lytton has had a foehn effect.
Very dry air further east.
Yes, I am well aware of that. It was more of a general comment in regards to the potency of the airmass itself.

That's what we get with these backdoor arctic airmasses. Oregon will likely be big winners with this one yet again
God dang easterly gradient. The dry air might pay off in some wind sheltered areas especially tomorrow night. Seems to me, could be wrong, but neutral and +ENSO seems to favour these Backdoor airmasses.

I assume winds in Abby will pick up as the front passes?
Jr. The Knuckles are doing a foehn effect on the Panthers.

For November 9...
You noticed that part. The temp profile doesn’t even really support snow either. That was a major problem with this upgraded GFS last winter when it was in trial mode. Perhaps they did not fix that.

Yep. 2013-14 as a most recent example. Chilly here in BC with historic cold in Oregon.
