January 7th, 2013

Mountainwatch | SNOW ALERT

Snow likelihood rating: The odds are in favour of a POW day…

The Mountainwatch 3-Day forecast model is currently forecasting a whopping 81 cm! The majority of snow to fall from this storm will hit at about 10 am local time tomorrow. Freezing levels look to be steady at approximately 700 m meaning that the snow up in the alpine should be high quality coastal powder. Wind speeds are low at ~ 30km/hr from the SE meaning that we should see solid accumulations throughout tomorrow and tomorrow evening.

A further 30 cm is expected throughout Wednesday as temperatures drop bringing the freezing level well below the valley bottom. Snow should clear by Thursday as the weather fines up and clear skies are expected.
