I went dark on this forum and the AF for about 12hrs. I didn’t see that discussion. Just enjoyed watching the radar fill in and savouring the moment. That, and the Oilers putting’ the boots to the Leafs was a moment to relish.

I don't know about breaking the January curse. While this cold snap and snow was awesome I think to break the curse the month needs to average below 0c in Agassiz and I don't think that will happen this month.

1993 mean was -0.4c. This month so far is -0.2c and the warm up is coming. I suppose I need to account for El Nino's, especially strong ones and climate change in my measurement of curse breaking.

Graph is mean temperature below 0c for the month in Agassiz.

30-31 cm both in my place and in Rocky Point. Looks like a widespread 30 cm more or less. Huge.

Quite a few power outages popping up around the area. Trees coming down on lines.

Say what you will about the GEM and GFS, they were both putting out the craziest snow totals for this event… and they basically verified!

Just a couple more cms would have put it top 3.
