Anyone else experience the short intense wind storm last night around midnight? Blew a bunch of stuff around here.

Seems EC recorded S 52 gust 78 at Abby at 1AM last night. My guess was 80k here.

Yes, I was at a family member's place near Kits beach and it was raining moderately all evening until around midnight we had a sudden period of torrential rain that lasted about 20 minutes along with gusty winds I would say 60k, at least. i screenshoted the radar. Looked pretty intense on the radar.

Needs some notches. Could be a transitional setup.

Looks like a major SSW event is likely early January. While this would likely favour the east for cold in such a strong El Niño, I could totally see a brief discharge of arctic air into the PNW before it slides east. At this point, even a transitory arctic blast would be nice.

I renewed my monthly Wxbell subscription as a Christmas present from my wife. I usually keep it for 4-6 months/year while the weather can be interesting and then I unsubscribe closer to Summer when we warm up and the weather is benign with the exception of hot spells. I will start posting some of those charts more often again

Would be nice to see a February 1989 transitory arctic blast. The cold crashes down straight from Alaska and sets up an extreme outflow event for a few days before the arctic high moves over top of BC and the cold slides east. Would be an acceptable trade off from a 2 week period of modified arctic air. But I think both are likely in the category of wishful thinking. But maybe a few days of modified arctic air is doable this winter?

Probably gone by this afternoon after the egg grogs kick in Stufflers. Looking forward to the extra 30 seconds of light today.
