Random: Yay for explosive weather! \o/


Direct quote from a recent Snowfall/Weather warning from Environment Canada:

"An explosively deepening low pressure system offshore will move across south of Vancouver Friday night."

Explosively. I don't think I've ever seen 'explosively' used regarding the actions of a weather system in these parts before. o.O

The temperature is being predicted to drop from +8C to -10C in a period of about 24 hours, and they are saying snow. Maybe lots (10-15 cm), maybe not so lots (2-4 cm). I suspect they have no idea, but there's big red warnings all over the region map anyway. On previous occasions when they've said "10 to 15 centimetres" we've gotten three feet. Or none. That's BC. Meteorology and guessing run about par for accuracy, I think.

I'm rooting for snow. I love winter.
