Hmm. I only ever use my phone. Didn’t used to be a problem on my old phone. Pretty annoying since I upgraded to a newish IPhone.

Sunlight is that thing that is bright in the sky. We haven’t seen it for a while in case some of you forgot what it was.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away

Good luck. I rarely see any in sunny white rock.

But if that vortex dives south and strong -PNA block develops, we are back into serious cold. :thumbup:

C'MON staying up for 2 weeks straight is golden, SCORE PDX snowstorm, Willamette valley special.Few more notches west then east and BOOM! model fails for Pdx...l can't believe no one appreciates my dedication for staying up for 2 weeks of model riding. That's it your all a bunch of jerks you can all f....off my knee hurts and all the drugs l take make me a little irrational but thats ok l don't make any sense to myself either l quit the boards. 2 day's later....l'm so sorry l acted like that l didnt mean it and will never do that ever again.

Was in Winnipeg from Friday afternoon until yesterday afternoon for my Grandma's funeral. Temperatures ranged from -6 Friday evening to -28 early yesterday morning. About 10cm of snow fell from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening. Graveside was very brief as north winds were howling sending windchills to -30. I was concerned about frostbite for my ears. Loved every moment of the weather--except graveside. Went for a brief walk Sunday morning as there was little wind and it was only -17.

P.S. Can one say a funeral was a great time without being tacky? I think so. I saw relatives I haven't seen in years, we all get along, and Grandma lived a full, faithful, godly life.

P.P.S. Almost couldn't leave Winnipeg yesterday. The bridge that connects to the plane from the airport terminal (i.e. that long tunnel) had the electronics short out. They couldn't retract it. The ground crew had to manually push it away, so "get out and push!" is literal for stuck planes as it is for stuck cars.

Not tacky at all Mr. Matt, glad you could see your relatives you haven't seen in years, we tend to grow apart after years of not seeing family members. I'm happy your grandma had a wonderful life and my coincidences to you and your family my weather friend. :thumbup:

06Z GFS goes nuts cold in the long range, EPS continues to show a colder signal as well. :thumbup:
Maybe a Seattle north event again, Port landers getting frustrated all ready. :roll:

Nuts cold? Chilly will do. Or cold enough to snow. But the trend continues. :thumbup:

That's what they get for living too far south.

We can hog all the snow (except Terrace/Kitimat/etc get way more than us). :think:
It always snows in December in the Kootenays :clap:
