1950 is pretty close. 99th percentile at least.

Came close honestly but the blocking evacuated north too quickly. That airmass was incredible. January 2020 was similar in that regard but less of a low level blast and more of a border hugger.

Reminds of me of some of the insane runs in January 2024, with like multiple perfet banana troughs, sub 510 MBs, and like multiple feet of snow and negatives for SEA and PDX. True maximization of our potential.

Think this is the latest my Fushia bush has looked this good still.

To be fair the whole city does shut down when there’s like even an inch of snow on the roads.
