Oh, I’m not. The NAM is just showing once again why it is not one of the most accurate models.
It's called clown range for a reason.

18Z GFS hinted at a reload in the long range. But we all know how reliable the long range has been this winter. :roll: :lol:

I remember last winter when the GFS was alleging that Bellingham would see -20ËšC temperatures.

When do these arctic outflow winds come? Usually Squamish is howling with them. I guess the front is not here yet? Global news doesn't even mention wind🤷‍♀️

I think today's 12z GEM takes the cake. 850s down to -20c at YVR by HR108, and down to -23c by HR120. :lol:

I think the safe bet here is a somewhere in the middle of Jan 2011 rug pull and Dec 1996 historical. Which would leave us somewhere in the February 2017 range. But a rug pull is always lurking and a historic event is always possible.

I think the amount of “extreme “ model runs we’ve seen should make us confident that a very good event is about to unfold. But when it comes to a 12z Gem like pattern, I’ll believe it when I see it.
