Sat may be the coldest day so far this winter (real feel) with the wind and temp...

There ended up a few days of +10 between the 8th and 15th, just nothing high end. We wedged through anything substantial. There was a stretch in late dec when the weeklies flopped warmer and there were alot of cancel winter calls. I Remember scott coming back from the tropics ready to drive into the harbor.

Extreme warmth is spreading through BC, Alberta and the PAC NW. Temps in low 70s on the Oregon coast with sunshine, easterly breezes. Near 60F around Vancouver and Seattle. Also into high 60s and low 70s in chinook zones of s Alberta and e/c Montana. Nearly 50F here with sun poking through strato-cumulus ragged overcast with a base just above our elevation of 3300' asl. Needless to say this is finishing off what little snow is still on the ground in town, will probably survive around the ski hills. It has been snow-free for days now at lower elevations than the town, down into Columbia valley. Still a lot of cloud in e/c WA so not warming up as fast yet there. Spring fever, have seen a few younger people dressed like it was late April roaming the streets. In some cases you rather wish they wouldn't.

IIRC there were a few unbelievable OP runs showing a day or two supporting 70° and then the models obviously backed off from that. But then there was the windshield wiper effect where some didn’t think we were going above the 30s and it ended up being a week well into the 40s.

No PDIII on the GFS..but hey, we got a thing or two to track.

I was mistaken earlier about the run of days below freezing, on 1/22 I hit 42... however avg for January is 30.1°, and ytd is 29.9°, all days, including the warm in Jan, never got above 44°, and 1/25 almost got out of the single digits while dumping snow, pretty impressive temp run here... I honestly don't know what the average monthly temperature is here, i never finished that, but I'd bet it's maybe top 10 coldest January here anyway... looks to continue for another week at least, hopefully ending with a big dog and then I'm about ready for warm, this weather is killing my vehicles.

Sounds gnarly We issued a winter storm watch for Cambria and Somerset Counties (in coordination with LWX/PBZ) to highlight the potential for near blizzard conditions and significant travel disruptions with up to 6" of snow and 40-50 mph winds. SNSQ parameter signal is weak, but snow squalls are possible with the arctic fropa.

27F Peace Valley Park (FB Jan 31st)

39/36, .12" in the bucket.

Was shit job everywhere.

I guess the hurricane hunters dropped in some new data points out in the Pacific.

I still find it so disappointing the way 2010/2011 seemed like it was on its way to break all the snowfall records and just died. Still a great winter overall for most but the last six weeks a big disappointment for many.

I'm wondering if my memory is divorced from reality a bit on that... I was mentioning earlier in a post that I thought that Jan warm up turned out not very convincing - if it was +10, it was very convincing. I'm wondering also if it was a +3 in NYC and +13 up by PF type of deal, too? anyway, the reason my memory is the way it is is because I remember a lot of mornings we refroze the 3.5" pack that was incredibly resistant to melt that whole period. I think the last couple of days ( seriously ...I remember taking note of this) it finally succumb and disappeared. The having snow on the ground much of the way is why I thought it as not so convincing.

@mitchnick posted that the UKMet had something around that time too. Hmm

I like what the gfs is smoking for next week. must be hanging with @dailylurker lol

1-3/2-4?

WBIR is reporting sidewalks covered with snow in sunbright. Just supercooled rain and occasional sleet here 20 minutes south.

There’s definitely stuff to finally keep an eye on over the next 8-11 days

PBP prob Sat. Radio Show will be on Monday hosted by DT and jxdama

Beavis #2, ha ha

When do we start a thread for this threat? When do you start doing play-by-play and when’s the radio show?

Well, in the grand scheme of things, as much as you may not like it...a moderation to somewhat above average climo temps is a much more higher probability, and less anomalous outcome than a blizzard...which is why one is laughed at, and one isn't, regardless of skepticism being warranted. I mean...if someone makes up a story about you having blown Donald Trump, and one about you having gotten a speeding ticket...which will be met with less skepticism?

Where the fuck did that thing on the 12th come from on the GFS??
