Thanks man. It’s torture but I’ve said it time and again, I’ll do whatever it takes to feel like myself again.

Also I’m feeling strangely optimistic this summer won’t be as torturous as the last two. Not sure why, other than the fact the atmosphere has had a major shakeup with the ssw and the shifting enso state.

Is it due to sun angles that cause 🌈 rainbows to be either low on the horizon or high arching one's l'm guessing?

That Kells and next winter may not be all the doom and gloom of a non winter that some are saying.
Was YVR's record for min. set in the 68/69 winter during a El Nino?

We want warmth! Or at least I want warmth, even if it's mild warmth :)

From December to April the EC app defaults to the snow setting for radar for the entire country. On the website you can change between the two settings -so that was likely not nearly as heavy as that appears.

Looks mostly normal actually. The ensemble mean indicates very slightly below normal which is likely due to Pacific being colder than normal - models tend to overestimate the influence of snow pack and sea surface temperatures in the spring in the longest range.

The pattern at the surface will likely translate to normal.
