Mark Nelsen is saying we may yet get a late season "backdoor blast" in March. https://fox12weather.wordpress.com/2015/02/12/ecmwf-monthly-run-a-bit-cooler/
Boy, you and some others on this sub-forum def need to build some Patience. We are still 4 days away from this system developing in the Plains. Geeze louize...wait till all the players are on the field, then you can decide to throw in the towel.
The Euro weeklies have big retrograding for basically the first half of March with below normal temps too. Right when I want to plant Brocooli, Cauliflower, etc. Mother Nature sure knows how to screw us over.
You must have a minor moss problem if your lawn get's greener right away. I use Scotts as well but my lawn turns black from all the dead moss until new grass takes over. It's actually very ugly for a couple weeks at least.
Sounds like that ONE run at Grouse Mtn is the only run open in the Coastal BC resorts. Mount Washington, Cypress, Seymour, and Hemlock are all shut to my knowledge. Snow making early in the season helped out Grouse and Cypress for a while, but looking at the article you linked, who would want to ski in that?
So after viewing the 12z GFS I just want to know if we can give up on anything good happening this year already? Yes every week or two the GFS will give us a little **** tease, but that is about it.
At this point the important thing is to break the back of this regime. Whether that means an Arctic outbreak or cool NW flow or whatever, we need to do that. I just want to stop the endless string of torchy months. Some frosty nights would certainly help with that.
yea you got screwed last year. There was a couple decently cold air masses around. Snowfall ended up average here at 30" or so. Certainly, parts of Vancouver island are ridiculously overdue for a big outflow event, such as Victoria and yourself.
With the snowstorms in late January and this month, Juneau is no longer on pace to have a top 5 least snowy winter. They are at 36.5", with more snow expected in a couple days. Still a decent chance this ends up as the least snowy winter since 2000-01 for them, which only had 28.7".
