With last year being quite a bit drier than normal, I'm not surprised it's been so wet this month.

Hate the rain though. :x
It always snows in December in the Kootenays :clap:

I found these new temperature averages through a tweet by Chris Doyle. It's interesting. Basically January through April is normal/cooler than normal for us and everything else is warmer.

Anyone mind posting the ensembles? I noticed a light at the end of the GFS, cold onshore flow with decent potential.

It sucks but is this pattern not more conducive to another blast of winter? Similar to the pre arctic blast pattern in early Jan?
