mrgrumpers Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 13 minutes ago, Bluegrass said: Really looking to see what the weather is going to be around saint Raymond this Friday Starting off Friday at midnight the temps will slowly drop and hopefully freeze everything up. Will probably start to snow late Friday and Saturday during the day. No one knows what track the storm will take yet. EURO and American models differ on which direction. This is my take, which might be right but also could be wrong.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triggerhappy Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) The best one I know is the "eyeball weather station". For Fridays weather, get up Friday morning open the door and take a peek outside. It will be correct I promise you. I have heard this station has a 100% accuracy record. ;) I wish I had a good weather station to rely on as well, but they do seem to be slipping a lot lately. Relying on computers instead of good old fashioned weather reading experience. I have tried wunderground, the weather channel phone app etc... They seem to be all over the place and change dramatically as the day approaches. Anything over a day out and I have no warm fuzzy feeling of their predictions. Sorry I really was no help at all....

vt_bluyamaha54 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Historically (over about the last 10+yrs) I have had very good luck with The Weather Network. They have Android + iPhone apps and reporting for most cities/towns in QC. I can't recall a time when they were very far off and the 14 day forecast gives a reasonable outlook when trip planning IMO.

From thurs mid day thru friday looks like rain, even up in the park (23).

JBlavl Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) GFS says it's going to be wet Friday. Canadian Model says it's going to be wet as well: The Euro also shows precipitation: And it shows that it's going to be above freezing: These all seem to be in pretty good agreement for Friday but I would bet they change before Friday comes. That's a long ways out for a storm this complex. Edited January 9, 2018 by JBlavl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipeman Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I guess the big question is will the trails survive the upcoming warm up and rain before the snow they call for on Saturday arrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnc Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 1 hour ago, Pipeman said: I guess the big question is will the trails survive the upcoming warm up and rain before the snow they call for on Saturday arrives I guess depending on the amount of rain and the base already down. Around here ( Tremblant area ) one of the clubs were saying on FB that we could actually do with a short mild spell and a bit of rain to harden the base. We have had only power snow, about 2 + feet worth, so the trails tend to get beat up quickly after the groomer passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actionjack Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/weather/quebec/shawinigan ~20cm snow to follow the warm up. Could be good if that pans out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gullyrider Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 The facebook page "Mark Sirois - Southern Québec Severe Weather Network" has been nailing it pretty good the past couple of years. He's a part-time amateur meteorologist who's become a bit of a media star because of his success rates. You can "friend" his page and judge for yourself, but I always have a gander when I light up the laptop in the morning. In our area, north of Buckingham and Thurso, the snow from a couple of days ago finally had some substance to it. My buddy on our John Deere/Gilbert even had to keep the knives up, as the snow was a bit too sticky to flow through the drag (too bad he sprung a hydraulic leak. I had to rush in by sled with a five gallon pail in order to get him back to the clubhouse). Still, a couple of days of warmth, and maybe even a bit of rain, will definitely do some good when it comes to solidifying the base. Follow that up with Saturday's announced storm, and we'll be good to go for the rest of the winter. actionjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is going to have several new friends if he is right about this weekend’s storm being less ice and more snow as he is predicting on Facebook. mcstar and doonali 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnc Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hard to find true weather predictions amongst the different media, but when one source contradicts it's self ya got to wonder. I have noticed in the past how inaccurate the weather network can be on the details for my area. For instance it can be blowing hard enough for trees to be bending and the official wind speed is " winds light" or "calm". I am convinced their anemometer equipment is in the town hall basement or something. Today's weather is another puzzler. Look at the two pics below. Both are screen shots of the montcalm weather updatedat the same time taken at the same time on two different phones and both of us sitting on the same sofa ( hey got to keep all the variables to a minimum). Slightly different temps and different snow fall amounts for Fri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Currently raining in Quebec City. Girlfriend's car was a giant ice cube this morning. We have plenty of snow so I'm not too worried about the trails. We get rain every single winter and it doesn't make too much of a difference normally.

actionjack Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Since my previous post he updated his forecast to 1 to 2 inches of rain and moved the heavier snow centered along the river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
