18z GEFS starting to come in range for the timeline we're looking at- Cold air moving into BC

I was referencing the cold wave that started New Year's eve and ended with the overrunning event on the 7-8th. It resulted in widespread lows in the teens for the Willamette Valley despite no snow cover in most areas.

This things going south. I'll be happy with my 1-3 i guess. The GFS is on its own

In the shorter term the ECMWF dropped the min on Saturday from 39 on the 12z to 33 on the 18z for SEA.

Some of the strongest signals I've ever seen for any pattern more than two weeks out. Much like what the seasonals were showing for DJF just a few months back. Doesn't mean much though since weather forecasts are always getting better. Two big upgrades for the Euro in two years has made a noticeable difference.
