I believe that the blob overrides LaNina imo. Hence the bommy temps so far. Seems like the blob is semi permanent.. always seems to be here in winter last few years leading to much disappointment for all except the PineappleMan

Heading up to sasquatch today. Calling it a much needed mental health health day. I hope the system performed up to expectations there with at least 10 cm.

All 4 Mr Nip. All 4.

Jan 1st will be +17 in the morning. Big cold front will come in and give us severe tstorms. Temp will drop to -4 by evening with a bitterly cold outflow. This will spin up a low dropping 10-15cm of snow. 2 clear nights with sub freezing highs. A baroclinic front will setup over 5 days dropping 70-150cm of snow for the Lower Mainland while Everett sees 50F and rain.

Another impulse of bittery cold arctic air arrives before a NW surface low drops some convective thundersnow.

This will continue on until we all get sick of the cold and snow. We will be furious when the models show a pattern change of 50F rain but do a rug pull and bring in more snow.

No, there will be a donut hole over Abbotsford. Chilliwack will score though, of course. :wave:

It’s trying. Seeing some signs of a pattern change around New Years on the extended GFS ensemble. Not much but at least a hint of blocking to our NW.
