January 2021 Forecasts and Discussions

Euro doesn’t dig the energy as far offshore as the 00z. That’s good.

Curious to see what this euro run spits out for later next week. Blocking looks better organized by day 5/6. Energy dropping in from the north along the coast.

Looks interesting.

Not much cold air around on the Euro compared to the GFS.

That low sliding down the coast on day 9 has snow written all over it.

Slushfall accumulations for the end of next week.

That fits my earlier thinking of a progression similar late Jan '96, just delayed by five days or so.

Or we could go full out and say late Jan - early Feb 1929 (as that 500mb configuration is the best match for the upcoming pattern), but that's probably not happening.

To be honest, I'd much rather have late January 1996. The 1929 arctic blast was dry with very little snow. January 1996 was snowier.

Decent finish to the Euro. Better runs ahead.

If it gets very cold and dry, I don't want to be outside. If it's slightly cooler like -3 then that's better for being outside.

1929 was leagues better than 1996. 20-40cm accumulated over several days across Metro Vancouver just as a deep freeze set in for about a week with highs below -5c and lows near -15c. Then we completely dried out for about half a month in early-mid Feb.

The Fraser froze solid enough by early Feb that people were skating on the river in New West. The first half of January was chilly with average temps around 1-2c which primed the river for a freeze when the arctic air hit.
