A bit further east and more or less locks in place for a few days (as indicated on those maps) we could see one of those patterns with a stalled low SW of the Island with arctic air to the north moving into the south coast. Kind of like Feb 2017.

I'm not sure I've seen the models flip flop between different patterns to this extent. It makes me take today's runs with a massive grain of salt, but we shall see.

Looks like things are possibly looking a bit active in the extended which is nice to see. Some of the patterns being modeled can often bring #surpises!

Could get #FEB and #surprises working together this year!

Looks like most weak systems in the short term are getting shredded during this ridgy pattern. Expected. Tell em Nito. Looks like the models are struggling somewhat with the system for Thurs/Fri..with precip amounts decreasing. I was hoping for mostly snow on the Langley bump, but it looks like it could be mostly dry region wide due to this persistent ridgy pattren

What does the mid term and long term have in store?

A marine push aided by some energy riding over the ridge will bring low clouds and some drizzle tomorrow. Not usually an issue but ground and surface temps have been cold so this could lead to some freezing drizzle and spit flurries at higher elevations.

Road salt or table salt?

ECs already on it Nito..my guess is a sloppy mix of precip..if we get any at all. Looks pretty dry. What does the HRRR and HDRS show? or whatever they are called lol

And there it is...possibly the "Snowiest" and "Coldest" week of this winter, according to the EC forecast for this week. They have thrown a mix of wintry precip into the forecast for Tuesday AND Thursday now. H2c to 3c region wide. Yessssss Other days Chilly and clear.
Enjoy those sloppy precip days buttees!

No measurable precip on both the global and meso models. This is some very light stuff.

I’d take a February 2017 repeat in a heartbeat. Abbotsford had its highest snow depth (45cm) since December 2008 (49cm)

Lock it in!
