I particularly like this part of that discussion:

 

THE STRONGER SOLUTIONS HAVE BEEN MEETING THE METEOROLOGICAL

DEFINITION OF A BOMB.

Actually, if you read the full weather discussion that this was from, here , they are more concerned that it will develop into a wind storm. Pineapple Express Death typically comes straight up from the southwest, forming over warm waters and bringing high freezing levels. This low would track (supposedly) closer to AK before coming to us. Coupled with forecast FL's of 6500', we could see some flooding but it should generally bring snow at higher elevations, nothing like the scenario of last Nov (thank god).

By next tuesday/wenseday we could be seeing this pacific bomb tracking just south of Vancouver island. Possibly 975-980mb, we maybe in for some exciting weather!! Gusts up to 65-70mph? lets hope. hehe

 

Get ready for a stormy October and lowland snow by november. All of this while the eastern 1/3 of the nation gets torched by record warmth. =)

All the pros are saying classic La Nina. In September the lowest average tropical SST (sea surface temperature) on record (57 years) was posted. This of course is an indicator of a very strong La Nina pattern.

 

We should be in for an exciting winter weather season. I hope y'all bought your passes early and stored up some time at work!

Given current currency exchange, I think WB is gonna hafta start some intense incentives to lure folks up. Though I see that on their webpage the Edge Card cost for Americans is significantly lower than Canadians'.

 

Within a toonie or two of the most expensive resort in North America. suckaz

Just check the terrain/average-snowfall/lift-capacity/vert to ticket-price ratio for any Eastern resort of your choosing and WB looks like a bargain at full-price, much less with the 1/2 price gas-station ticket deal.

 

Hopefully they continue the promo in 07/08
