Proud Nasty Canadian.
I was going to call him #HorribleHouston.
But maybe #TimTheTyrant is better?
Or #TimTheTerrible?
Take your pick.

sigh...I doubt it's a joke. Unfortunately. Evidence? The russians were very happy with it.
What happened to Americans hating russians? Weren't all russians seen as evil communists a generation ago??
Regardless, I don't like this russia-us alliance that seems to be forming...

What troubles me most is not that they are lying after being involved in a war crime but that 1) the US military remains silent when a probable war crime took place, and 2) this scuttles the hope some Canadians had that Trump's military would disobey illegal orders against Canada.

Wouldn't it be sad if some Canadian sabotaged these vehicles before they crossed the U.S. border...?
But yeah, we shouldn't be selling anything to ICE. Not even TP!

The scenario from the RGEM looks very believable.
Rain along the coast, and the precip starting as rain inland, but turning to snow as heavy precip rates result in cooling of the air column late Tuesday night.
Given how wet this snow will likely be, I expect an SLR of 7:1 instead of 10:1. #NSwx

One thing that is working against this system being a big snowmaker, especially along the coast, is the lack of a high to the north.
Notice the pressures over Labrador on the models: 1014, 1016, 1017 mbar.
That's a weak Arctic high, which limits the amount of cold air available. #NSwx #NBwx #NLwx

These AI-based models are effectively an advanced statistical model.
We've been using statistical weather models for decades now, and this is the logical progression.
I can see a future where we use both physics-based and AI-based models side-by-side for forecasting.

I think the PM knows that this deal won't happen.
When it fails, he'll just say "Well, Danielle, I did what I could. Take it up with BC and Indigenous peoples. It's up to them now."

I hear the Google DeepMind did really well this season with hurricanes.
Snowfall maps are also one of the worst to share at long range; they're tricky even in a short-term fcst:
1) How much precip will fall?
2) What's the SLR? Will it change throughout the event?
3) Will the snow melt on the ground?

Looks like yet another way Canada is quietly distancing itself from the US and aligning itself more with Europe. And I agree that we need to focus more on impacts and less on numbers and stats in weather communication.
Maybe @guardtheleaf.bsky.social would like to comment on this?

Only the GFS and the Euro show a major snowfall.
The CMC, ICON, and the Euro-AIFS show nothing.
If we weigh each model as being equally accurate, that's a 40% chance of a major snowfall, and a 60% chance of nothing.
For the general public?
Test your snowblower, but don't cancel Wed travel plans.

The TACO man called us Canadians "Nasty" because we didn't agree to become the 51st state. We took it as a compliment.
If he calls Ukrainians "Nasty" because they don't give in to trump and putin's wishes of converting Ukraine into a russian puppet, that's the highest compliment.

@mark-carney.bsky.social, how about getting those Gripens, eh? You said China is Canada's greatest long-term threat, so we really don't want them to know about our fighter's technology.
