+14 to +17. Models indicated temps could spike into the 60's earlier this week but this died with the 100km/hr + winds. Downsloping southerlies in the Valley can really warm up the lower atmosphere in perfect conditions. Seem to recall a +18C reading in Jan back in the early 2000s.
did you start building your ICE BOX?

63F near Astoria. Still feel we could see some 60's out here before the front arrives.

I’m thinking they still haven’t ironed out all the bugs in the updates they made to it. Last winter, it was called the experimental FV3 model, and it was continually exhibiting a crazy cold and snowy bias.
