Our record low which was tied last year on the 24th is 19. We have a good shot at it.

Highs on Thursday/Friday are just around/above freezing on this run.

We had a 32/15 on the 23rd last year. Silver Falls put up 33/14. Amazing we will threaten those numbers again next week.

Wow, the ICON showing 1-3" here is a great sign with how little it usually shows.

It’s show 6-8” up here. Reminding me a lot of 2011.

@Rubus Leucodermis.   Saturday.   Overrunning!  

Delayed about a full day on this run... and way north.   But it still pounds SW BC.   Of course it can't trend like this for much longer or it will be gone entirely.

Could you post the WB map for the initial snow event on the GEM?

Seems like 75% of the content here lately is GFS snow maps followed by 10 smartest-guy-in-the-room posts decrying the credibility of GFS snow maps.  Take away the former and the latter won’t have much of a voice.  

There is plenty to post about other than goofy GFS snow maps.

I think this is going to be a great run of cold weather for the NW.  Hihgly possible we see another Arctic intrusion in early March.

How problematic does climo become in late March? Because that’s another window that could be interesting.

Past history says a Nino is extremely unlikely this year with indices still being so firmly in Nina territory this deep into the year.  Neutral winters are often great for us.

If that EPS hovmoller is anywhere close to accurate and we don’t snap back into a La Niña circulation in March/April, then I will probably jump on the El Niño bandwagon.

Until then, attenuation to neutral ENSO by late spring/early summer makes sense to me.

We learned last year that mid April is easy for cold and snow.  Late March is no problem at all.

Nino is the worst of the three though.  Obvious there a few notable exceptions.  Neutral is usually pretty fun.

Tell that to 1968/69 and 2018/19. These relationships can and do change over time. 🤓
