Nope, you're the guy who likes to pee on the campfire, because it annoys the people enjoying themselves and it leaves a stink in the air.
I like to piss on campfires to prevent wildfires and ensuing smoke plumes.

First week of January is looking like a definite bust. Remember how the weeklies said -pna from dec 20 until forever? Now it looks to spike again around jan. This is one magical climate. It appears the models just don't know how to handle it beyond 12 days. I wish I wasn't totally tied down to living here (not just weather related, but climate is a big part of it). Especially since cool summers have disappeared as well.
Even though they come from the Euro, the weeklies are often a pile of hot garbage in the accuracy department.

That's probably the only thing I love about our climate these days.

Often times the models can't get their sh*t together in the short term, so I guess it is sort of difficult to put much stock in them for the long term.
The extended GFS ensemble looked decent starting the second week of Jan though.

Yes, our summer preferences are most definitely completely opposite. Actually I havent hated the last two right up until this recent horrendous September. If summers here were consistently like 2019 I'd be good with that.

12Z ECMWF pretty much takes the low up to Port Hardy. Big time southerly winds shoots up temps into the low teens Monday morning. Cold front looks good for brief rains and gusty NW winds.
Just ready for some sunshine after this week. Looks like ridging and a weak split flow should take hold.

Cmon Nito. The rain and mildness is depressing enough. We dont need a play by play of the next bommy ridge or AR event. and then
I think it could be your fault Buttee. We had better luck when only Hawk was around. Our luck seems to have changed every since hawk2 arrived on the scene.

I don't remember if I have ever had temps in the teens on my birthday.
