The picture is a satellite radar of the pacific ocean, and if you look in the top right hand corner, you can see the coast of canada (outlined in a thin black line) The bright yellow and orange colours are precipitation...and the big swirl of yellow and orange is a storm...which will be heading straight for the coast.
Once it hits the coastal mountains of British Columbia - i.e. Whistler, it will rise, cool and dump lots of snow. Or so we hope

powhound, being selfish, this is not Yippee at all.
North America stole all our snow last season.
We don't want the same thing to happen this time

powhound, It's looking rather stormy on the Whistler webcam. Robbie says that it's tipping it down with rain in Pemberton today. We need the freezing level to start getting lower.

You know it makes sense.

Next storm rollinging in is warmer  , Hard to believe I was getting snowed on all day in Sept.
