BLI was below freezing for 4 days straight from 1/7-1/10. A couple more freezing days the following week. Not much snow, though, aside from the transition out of it.

Going on record. Right here, right now. I haven't given up on December.

I recall Bellingham getting nuked winter of 04-05 with days below freezing and the rest of the west side except for island county and north slope of the peninsula getting cold rain. I don't remember when it hit though. Too much hops and bong water.

Had to park all the way at the end of central ave wtf.

2011 was always a high volatility setup when it was in its modeling zenith. High risk/high reward. 2020 was more beastly, as it was a TPV displacement, but that setup was always progged as being shaky when it came to upstream blocking. Never looked entirely realistic even when there was pretty prolific SW’erly digging across all the models. 2005 progged three different bites at the apple within about two weeks time, all of which had pretty excellent longwave support within 144 hours or so.
