Average January snowfall at YVR per the 1991-2020 normals is now down to only 10.2cm.

It's actually ridiculous how this winter unfolded.

How in the world does a -ENSO/+QB0/SSW/MJO phase 7 not deliver?

I'm beginning to think all these ingredients listed above are just over hyped and that our best winters occur when we least expect it.

Some of the greatest winters in the PNW were actually El Nino.

It's frustrating but I won't give up on winter until late February.

Too soon to throw in the towel. I’m personally intrigued by the look of the models right now. (Long range). As much as I have at any point so far this winter. Something is brewing

That's why late February is the deadline I set.

Ya the models still haven’t resolved the placement or amplification of the NPac block as we get into early February. As long as we still have blocking over the NPac and we can keep that Aleutian Low at bay, things could trend better as we head into early/mid February. Besides, February always seems to always deliver for us as of late so maybe we’ll get some surprises again this year.

I’ll be pulling out all the stops to bring arctic air to the south coast. You guys can thank me later.

They are always accurate when they show ridging or pineapples!

All kidding aside. If the MJO does indeed emerge in phase 7, it could lead to something interesting. Lots of volatility still.
