I knew a meteorologist who said about Calgary "that s*** that comes over the mountains, that's not weather." She said that basically they can forcast the wind and temperature reasonably well, but predicting precipitation based on what's just over the mountains is near impossible. That was probably a decade ago, when the industry was less reliant on computer-modelling, but it seems like heavy computer-modelling hasn't made it any easier to forcast.
