I shall take solace in the fact that it could (will) snow 19 inches here next week.

This is about as accurate as a description for an average PNW winter lol.

AIFS is pretty chilly at least

October: here we go, 1950s-style wall-to-wall cold on the way. November: cold would have been wasted anyway, December is going to be lit December: cold is about 2 weeks away in the models for the entire month January: death ridge and fake cold February: epic 2-3 day arctic blast, just enough to give us hope for next year

384 hours of torching for us on the 18z GFS.
