To answer my own question, no. Today’s record low is -16.1˚C in 1950. Yesterday’s was -12.3˚C in 1993, yesterday’s -13.4 handily beat it.

Yeah the long range looks bullocks. The gfs and gem are great snow runs but also ominous for ice storms.

Re: January 2024 Forecasts and Discussions
GFS isn't too bad. Last thing you want to see is a massive GOA vortex with a progressively mild pattern. Blocking actually has promise.

Re: January 2024 Forecasts and Discussions
Anyone wants to take a guess on TMax today? It looks like we are running colder than forecasted.

Re: January 2024 Forecasts and Discussions
The -8 rule does not necessarily matter in these sort of conditions. If cold air persists at lower levels, it will snow down to sea level so long as it remains below freezing aloft.

Re: January 2024 Forecasts and Discussions
It's always nice to wake up to pretty colours. But this should still be taken with a grain of salt. Still lots of time to change for the worse.
