No! :cry:

It’s a chilly airmass but certainly not arctic. The bar is set pretty low right now.

NAVGEM looks like it’s building an Alaskan ridge next weeks. Splits the Alaskan vortex. What is that model anyway. The Canadian navy model? :thumbup:

I was just about to say. I don't think he read the legend.

850mb temps of -15c at YVR would be a legit arctic outbreak, but the criteria should be lower in Hope, given average winter temps are about 2-3c lower than Vancouver.
