Re: January 2020 Arctic Blast Contest
Environment Canada is really expecting the cold to be east of the Chilcotin - Bulkley - Nechako area. Burns Lake is forecast to be 10 degrees warmer than Prince George for example, even though it's almost always colder.
For using statistics if you want, here is a list coldest spot winners in BC ONLY when the extreme low is -30 or below:
2018 (sorry, I haven't done 2019 yet):
Fort Nelson = 5 times
Puntzi = 4
Burns Lake = 4
Dawson Creek = 3
Dease Lake = 2
Chetwynd = 2
MacKenzie = 1
Fort St. James = 1
Everyone else = 0
2017:
Dease Lake = 12
Fort Nelson = 4
Yoho National Park = 3
Puntzi = 3
Blue River =3
Dawson Creek = 2
MacKenzie = 1
Clinton =1
Chetwynd = 1
Everyone Else = 0
2016:
Puntzi = 9
Dease Lake = 4
Yoho = 1
Dawson Creek = 1
Chetwynd = 1
Everyone else = 0
2015:
Dease Lake = 5
Fort Nelson = 3
Puntzi =1
Dawson Creek = 1
Everyone else = 0

Re: January 2020 Arctic Blast Contest
I had some numbers in my head, but I might just wait and re-assess the situation in 24 hours. The models trends are too iffy at the moment.
Fall/Winter 2023/24
Low min: -16.6C (Jan 12th)
Low max: -9.9C (Jan 12th)
Snowfall: 8.0 cm
