The PNA bottomed out at roughly -2 during the last cold period, instead of the forecast -6.

I can't imagine how things would've turned out if it had verified to the forecast -6... :damn:

If this February does indeed get a cold period, I would not at all be surprised if it's even more potent than this past one. :think:
It always snows in December in the Kootenays :clap:

What's it forecasted this time, l"m intrigued if the WPO goes negative too that could produce a 2017 on a longer scale.

So I changed the batteries in my rain gauge and it added 116.9 mm for my today's total. :x

Stupid AcuRite! And I can't clear it either. Ugh! :x

I really need to get a better station. Does anyone know of a proper 5-in one station that doesn't have to be mounted on a roof? There is no way we could get to our roof as its way too high and and our strata would likely not let me mount one on the roof anyways.
