Warmest December means coldest February

Great... if it verifies.

Otherwise, Vancouver could have its first frost-free December, and there is a good chance that it will be the warmest December ever recorded.

Currently the 6th coldest at Dawson. 11th coldest at Old Crow.

Anyone in the top 5 doesn't have records as long as Dawson.

1991 was poo obviously.

Not only 1991.

1991: 3rd warmest on record
2024: 19th warmest
1966, 1974, 1976, 2023: close to normal
1979: slightly below normal
1950: 21st coldest
1957: 8th coldest
1939: 6th coldest

In short, no cause and effect link, as usual.

I’ve been waiting years for another region wide windstorm. Looks like I might miss out as I’m in Ottawa for a few days. Just my luck.

But I’m so happy to be with my family and there’s at least 10cm of snow here so I’ll get a white Christmas. Can’t get it all I guess.

But it might not even verify. The 00Z NAM 3km backed off significantly.
