6z AI run was sort of cold and dry. Better than the boring stuff we stuff we are having now. At least the sun will shine.

I presume you are claiming here that SeaTac is a UHI-affected station. Regardless, it is the basis of my scoring, and based on long-term means, my scoring is that while a -3 departure on mins is enough for Team Cold to score, Team Pineapple must get about +5 on maxes. And I am pretty sure that there is an asymmetric distribution in the winter months with the cold side of the curve having longer tails than the warm side. Yet another bias in favor of Team Cold scoring points! I really don't think my system is as unfair to Team Cold as some seem to think it is.

January is pretty much a non-winter month now.

Unfortunately the warmth still kills the snow in Seattle regardless of whether it is caused by AGW or UHI or whatever.

12z GEFS with some big members again. Seems to be trending up in the home stretch. Still an outside chance of 8" here based on these, though I'd put the odds of that at 10% or less.
