Phil is chill. That post doesn’t even crack the top 10,000 on here in terms of harshness, vulgarity, or weenie-angst. It’s just strange to me how the dynamics of the last 7+ winters can be forgotten and tossed under the rug like that.

Feb 2021 was a classic example of making the most out of the airmass at hand. Almost entirely a low level blast but managed nearly a foot out of it.

Deep breaths man it's not that serious. In all fairness I do agree we need a SSW for one of those true blasts where the Baffin vortex relocates to the mouth of the Columbia. But we can easily dry offshore our way into a 2016-17 redux

That sound is the wind blowing through the trees on the ridgetops. Wind doesn’t make noise unless it encounters a resistant force i.e. an object.

This is demonstrably false. Have you been sleepwalking through the last 7+ years? The vast majority of noteworthy cold outbreaks and lowland snowfall since 2017/18 have occurred as a result of SSW/PV disruption events. You do better with cold onshore flow because you’re up in the terrain, but that’s not true for the majority of posters here. Perhaps that lived experience is warping your memory.
