January 2020 Forecasts and Discussions

Saw this on a website for Abbotsford Wx.

A forecast for that sort of cold is much more believable. The sort of cold that the GFS is forecasting, not so much.

Anyways Goose.. back to cold...check stats in 70's/80's for Abby. Brrrrr. There were some very cold periods. I think dec 84 or thereabouts

Never said YVR. Abbotsford is the city that matters.

Did you say Bellingham or Astoria

YVR sits at 10.8°C.

14.6C in Abbotsford!

16ËšC in Bellingham. Only one more degree to go until Cat's forecast of someplace hitting 17 comes true!

LOL @ the +17 argument. Nito never said it would be +17 at YVR, he said it could get to +17 somewhere in the LM. He's not far off but not quite there yet either. I think we were all a little bit wrong and the weather just do be like that sometimes.

All-time low is -21.1C in Abbotsford.

If we had -15C (and -10C in YVR) it would be a (very) good one.

In 86 or 87 my dad claims we dropped to below -10, like -15 to -20 or something. That wasn't for a specific month, just some time that year. He took an interest in recording temperatures back then and reporting it I think, but I don't think he has anything written down still. I'd have to research if it's available anywhere.

#Team Nito strikes again!

+15 F.... Brrrrr

Warmest members are a touch below 0. Not often you see that.

It's the nearby mountains. They're getting in the way of the southerlies being able to blow the cooler air away. Instead, it's banking up against them.

Since when Abbotsford is a thing? You never said Abbotsford to be clear.

I know...

We should open up this site to weather related gambling. That would make things very interesting.

I also never said YVR.
