Going all the way back to when the first station opened in 1872, I think that the coldest days on record in southern BC occurred in:
1) Dec 1968
2) Jan 1950
3) Jan 1875

Quite a bit of margin of error with the 1875 one because of so few stations so it could be in any of the top 3 spots.

Jan/Feb 1893 could be on that list too.

Agassiz recorded a high of -16.7c on January 30th, 1893 and -19.4c on February 2nd, 1893.

Jan 1909 was basically just as cold as well. The 7th/8th/9th had highs of -18.9c, -20.6c and -18.9c in Agassiz

For what it’s worth, my coldest day last January had a high of -7.2˚C. Apparently YVR was a degree or so warmer, but it was a probably a near miss. Better luck this winter!

I mean, what would be more 2020 than another sad and mild December? Especially after all those epic looking forecast maps we keep seeing.

Can you link some of these epic forecast maps for December?

Where does a high of -7.2c at BLI rank? I'd wager you guys have seen colder days than Vancouver given the location in a more direct outflow path.

There we go! For what its worth the 6Z gfs was half decent in the long range but not arctic. A nice consolidation of the jet down to California.

[PortKells]

Looks like it was an outlier
Oh well. Build that ice and cold pool and let's get something better

I wouldn't mind living in HV-GB.

I'm guessing this will eventually flip into something good for us down the line. Hopefully #endofDec or #begofJan
