Okay that was rude.

Can we please keep this forum respectful and refrain from unnecessary comments that trigger drama?

Please and thank you.

Its not quite the right set up but this run is quite an improvement. Probably an outlier but who knows.

Go to bed little boy, I was obviously just joking, kind of

Holy snowfall John remember the rule once you can't count you'll be right up with Forrest Gump, intellectually. Although that was easy for me the other night after 1.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Yep the egg grog is definitely posting now

[Roberts Creeker]

Outflow winds?

I think that is true for Langdale to Port Mellon. They get more weather down there.

I have to say, it sure is nice out even with the minimal amounts of snow we received.

It was really nice going for an evening walk with the snow, freezing temps and Christmas lights. It actually feels like winter out. Makes this Christmas a bit better considering how different it is going to be.

Ensembles just aren't even close. Control run is nice at least. Bah. Enjoy the snow and cold temps people.

Dec '83 was actually colder, but with a lot less snow.

'84-85 was a pretty sweet winter though. Snow on the ground from early-mid December through mid-late Jan. Not many warmups and early-mid February was pretty snowy too. A lot like '16-17.

And there was a SSW event in December 1984 if I recall correctly.

[AbbyJr]

That timeframe is too early for the effects of the SSW to manifest in North America.

Not saying you are wrong though (pesky Greenland block might screw us hard).

The Greenland block did not cause any issues for us in the December 1968 arctic blast. Here is the 500 mb pattern for December 28, 1968. Abbotsford recorded a high of -16.7 and low of -18.3C.
