The text I quoted was Brett's forecast though. Perhaps based on the ECMWF weeklies.

This is the most interesting weather in months here! My temp shot up from 8.2 C to 14.3 C between 6:15 pm and 6:45 pm. It is SUPER windy out there but my station doesn't adequately show that because unfortunately there are tall trees in my neighbour's yard that block wind when it's from that direction.

Currently I am charging all of our stuff because if this keeps up there will be power outages very soon.

Fish! You're looking questionable...are you past your best before date??? :lol: :lol:

lots of wind and rain here, power was out for an hour or so around 3 pm. Came back on just as I was finishing planting potatoes and garlic, so I didn't even notice.

Can't pick the GEM doesn't quite go to the start of the ice age. GFS too the other's aren't too bad.

Gusting to 50 mph / 80 km/h in Bellingham presently. Electric service in my neighborhood is all underground so no worries about losing power here.
It's called clown range for a reason.

My daughter and family are affected by that one. Their power is always going out compared to my place.

Skeptical still no east coast ice box but the odd nail here and there. Maybe stick to short term that's your skill. :D
