Very cold Mon - Wed and likely challenging and surpassing the season cold from Dec 22/23 both actual temps and the departures. Overall cold through the 25th ahead of moderations. Storm chances or cold suppression in the 23-24 period?

Was that on 12/22/23rd ? Got to4 / 5 here as my lowest.

We will see what we can eek out of the Sunday system then 24/25th and late Jan to add to those monthly totals but the next 7 days doesnt look to do much in that category

Kind of reminds me when they hit 109 degrees. January 13, 1950. Near record one-day snowfall of 21.4 inches at SeaTac accompanied by 25-40 mile per hour winds. 57.2 inches fell the entire month at SeaTac. This storm claimed 13 lives in the Puget Sound area. The winter of 1949-50 was the coldest since official records began. "What may have been Seattle's greatest snow of all was in 1880, before official record-keeping began. Arthur A. Denny, a city pioneer, wrote that the snow began on Jan. 8 and continued night and day for a week. When it finally stopped, Seattle's streets were smothered by 5 feet of snow, he said."

The State of California went bankrupt, and the economy evolved from ranching to farm-based. The same areas are expected to be flooded again if another ARkStorm (USGS name) impacts California, which could cause over $750 billion (2011 USD), making it more disastrous than California's long-overdue major earthquake. California is currently overdue for a Megastorm, and such an event would have severe impacts on the entire U.S. economy. 1886 - A great blizzard struck the state of Kansas without warning.
