hawkstwelve 7241 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Looks like there are practically zero members on the 00z GEFS that put the Thursday/Friday low north of the Columbia.

VancouverIslandSouth 1741 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Just now, Omegaraptor said: Ew, dry Arctic blasts are the absolute worst. I'd rather have 50 degree drizzle. I guess it depends on where you live. Up here dry blasts of this nature seem relatively common. It usually means staring at brown grass and higher heating bills; the wind in outflow areas makes it even worse. They typically don't even produce impressively low temperatures; if this remains dry and sunny we might get a sub-freezing day but nothing like the 26F/21F day we had last January. It must be terrible in drier parts of the east. I think if it was a once in a 10 year event like parts of Oregon then it might feel more special. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
