AI EURO is great.

I guess reading it again, Mark did qualify with "real cold" arctic air, so I suppose that leaves room for interpretation if something modified makes its way here (all arctic air is heavily modified by the time it gets here, but with sun angles, day length, etc. temps in the teens are virtually impossible). I'll go with that translation So frustrating to see the sharp cold signal so clearly in the models. Surface temperature anomalies over BC are crazy cold. The ridge is just too far west and really is not moving significantly from model run to model run. If it just moved 500 miles east (Ok, I realize that's not an insignificant shift), that cold air would ride the atmospheric conveyor belt right into our region. Can't win them all. I'm not giving up hope quite yet, but the candle flame of hope is fluttering.

Another clear evening.

And snowy just like 2017.

May go down as our wettest February since 2017!
