Reboot your system that will close everything maybe even winter.

Never heard is the Euro atill looking cold? How about the 06Z GFS.

[HarrisonSasquatchWx]

Some absolutely insane dewpoints this morning from Abbotsford to Hope -16c to -18c deep Arctic air entrenched should make for some good downsloping again today 8c to 11c.

The system on Wednesday/Thursday is getting closer on GFS, gem while The nam and fv3 gives a direct hiteroni . These are 06z

Yes likely will. If we can get a La Nina, then we are in business as La Nina and solar minumum is an excellent combo.

I've been wondering if anyone else was watching the lack of sunspots

A MONTH WITHOUT SUNSPOTS? It could happen. The sun has been without spots since the beginning of February.Only 2 more days are necessary for an entire month of spotlessness. This long interval of blank suns is a sign that Solar Minimum is underway. This phase of the solar cycle brings extra cosmic rays, long-lasting holes in the sun's atmosphere, and strangely pink auroras.

just 2 more days and we have a month without sunspots. anyone else of the opinion we might slip into a Maunder-type minimum?
I've seen both sides of the argument (these dudes are quite passionate about their theories ) and my extremely amateur (and probably biased due to my love of snow) opinion is we might be heading there given the last decades patterns.

Sure would be good for snow.

GFS ensembles have been getting a bit more "wetter" with each run as well. Nothing crazy but perhaps some flurries.
