Yeah, that little air mass that brought 34/28 to BLI on 12/28 qualified, it just didn't make it quite to the border. I know places like Williams Lake, Kamloops, and Powell River got pretty chilly with that.

We were just consistently ridiculously mild that entire Winter up till the cold hit. SEA didn't have a low below 43 that whole Winter till February 3rd and we went into the freezer that same afternoon.

This caught my eye. In case anyone needed any additional reasons to not take the GFS seriously.

If this round is a swing and a miss too, definitely good that he wasnt here for it. Who knows, he may be watching the models just as much as he used to, but in isolation, and is having the same conversations he would have here...but with inanimate objects around his house or the birds at his window. Or the lord himself with Andrew's guidance. Either way, not good for the ol' grey sponge, imo.

Looks like more ARs on the menu.
