Considering that the cold snap won't start until the 10th and we had some warm weather prior it will be very difficult for this January to average below 0c this year even if it's cold until the end of the month.
Why not try cycling to work, grocery store, anywhere!

That is a ridiculous gradient. 486dam into central B.C. with arctic air struggling to make the South coast. Mind blowing, hard to believe really. “If”that decided to surge south we would get blasted.

Chips away at our snow totals slightly for next week's system. I wonder who might post about this...

Models are being fickle. The big picture still looks very promising. And that system has plenty of time to trend colder again.

Epic dry cold blast by Monday Tuesday for SW BC. Outflow would be absolutely blasting.

Day 8...
I'm starting to worry I could fall onto the GFS bandwagon. If my count is correct, 17 consecutive runs have been consistently showing a historic Arctic blast. But I don't really want to believe it for the sake of avoiding major disappointment, which is highly probable. But maybe the GFS will win this one or come close.
