snow_wizard Posted January 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 This event definitely has a taste of 1996 up here in BC and Whatcom. The warm moist air is having hard time to push the arctic air out because the cold airmass is so deep. I dont think I have seen this deep airmass for more than 20 years (1996 or 1998). The only differece about this event is no pineapple express. It is still well below freezing up here with the blow from the east. The numbers from BC are utterly insane. Just one examples is Cathedral Point (west of Bella Coola). 13F with winds sustained 70 gusting to 83. I can't even imagine how brutal that would be. Below zero temps still extend well down the Fraser Valley. This came so close to being an epic event for all of WA. We have to call it a win coming in the month of January and all. Looks like the reign of front loaded winters has possibly come to an end and the door could be open to some great times ahead. 2 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

VancouverIslandSouth Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Kind of odd to see 500mb thicknesses drop to 516dm with onshore flow but that's what the GFS has been showing tomorrow night. It's a shame we couldn't tap into more of that very cold air pouring out from the BC North and Central Coasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBC Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 The numbers from BC are utterly insane. Just one examples is Cathedral Point (west of Bella Coola). 13F with winds sustained 70 gusting to 83. I can't even imagine how brutal that would be. Below zero temps still extend well down the Fraser Valley. This came so close to being an epic event for all of WA. We have to call it a win coming in the month of January and all. Looks like the reign of front loaded winters has possibly come to an end and the door could be open to some great times ahead.I was surprised how off the forecast was. Abbotsford had a high of 10F without windchill during the event. That’s D**n cold! It shows that we still can get top tier events. The coming solar minimum might get the climate we used to have back for the 2020’s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
