Fantastic question. Winds around a low are caused by the pressure gradient force, a deeper low produces a higher pressure gradient with wind spiralling inward.

Frontal systems are driven by boundaries and temperature gradients, but often the frontal systems across B.C. are attached to the main low

Tonight, cheers.

Over 50 mm on the 17-18, super wet by YYJ's standards
