OOZ GFS brings back the December 60 s. Both the Willamette Valley and the Columbia Basin get blessed.

I think that was the final straw for me this morning. The models made it clear even the coming inversion window was going to get mucked up. It still looks like we could get 3 to 5 freezing mins, but that is pretty lame.

I want a more continental climate which ain't going to happen west of the Cascades. I could probably settle for Sumas or something like that if I had to.

I was looking at the old PNA data (as opposed to the new version they came up with several years ago) the other day, which is updated through 2022, and the lack of low PNA in January has been insane this century. Before that it was different of course.

The AO forecast is actually showing normal or even minus over the next couple of weeks. Isn't that the best gauge of PV strength?
