Winds never completely died here and still made it down to -1. Impressive.

And a cloud deck rolled in shortly after sunrise. Just about the optimum scenario for minimizing daytime temps. If it stays cloudy, I suspect the forecast high for the day will bust.

Very impressive, and yeah that's the best scenario for sure jeep the daytime highs from getting to warm.

Huh, but I thought this stuff couldn't happen in our new climate? :roll:

I mean February 2019 happened and all but that was a total fluke. :wave:
It always snows in December in the Kootenays :clap:

February 2019 was persistently chilly with no significant arctic blasts.

Seems like we can still see prolonged moderately chilly anomalies but the extreme arctic blasts we would see decades ago are much more difficult to come by these days. There's no arguing against that.

And February 2019 didn't need extreme Arctic air to achieve "coldest February on record". In this context, all that matters is temperature anomaly, not the presence of extreme Arctic blasts.

Some colder wet air in the 18z forecast. Maybe it's wasn't such a bad idea for Cypress to turn on the snow guns this weekend. Maybe an early ski season this year.

These high pressure systems are typically bad news for California. Santa Anna and Diablo type wind events are caused from cold high pressure systems, much like the Oregon wind event was for there.
