The Alberta Clipper is moving in right on schedule. Snow will being falling this afternoon and should continue right through tonight. By the time you wake up on Saturday morning 5-10 cm will likely have fallen in your backyard.
NEXT WEEK
... Looks messy. Lets not beat around the bush here.
A system rolling onto the Coast of B.C. today will really set the stage for our weather through a good portion of next week.
The system will split into 2.
One piece of energy will race across the Rockies and become a Clipper type system, which will be bringing Rain into the region on Monday. However, before the rain arrives, there is a chance we could be seeing a period of FREEZING RAIN as the warm front works in on Monday morning as well.

The other piece of energy will drop Southeast and BLOW UP into, what looks to be a big time system for next Wednesday. Take a look at the latest run of the GFS model.

Right now, this storm is a very close call between a Heavy Rain fall or a Very Heavy Snowfall. One thing should be mentioned before we jump to conclusions here. A week ago, I was sitting here writing to you about a potential of a big time storm for this past Tuesday... which as we all know didn't pan out at all. So although the models can look like a sure thing... they are far from it. I just wanted put the word out.. that as of right now... Wednesday looks MESSY.
As always... I'll keep you posted.

thank you so much for the snow today...
Hi Ryan,
My husband is really happy about the snow this year. He has had a goal of x-country skiing 500 km each winter since he retired and has not been able to reach it the last two, but this year...! He is currently at 460 km! I'm just a little bit behind with 25. Well, I have only been at it four times and he has been out there fifty..
And at this time of year we all know that spring is not that far off (I guess the robins know that too), besides new snow makes everything look so nice and clean! As long as one doesn't have to be out driving in it too often!
Always enjoying your weather reports! As a matter of fact Chex News is excellent and Newswatch at 5:30 is superb! Thanks!
