Ridiculous Hawk. This is like Canada against Belarus at Ice hockey. We are Belarus Nito is Canana. When we win is a Miracle.

What win are you talking about.

Yes I know. Maybe more like Slovakia..at least there is some hope. Belarus would be more like the Portland Dreamers

For what it's worth, the GFS has been fairly consistent since yesterday's 06Z.

I recall someone said the GFS led the way leading up to the December 2008 blast, though it of course had not been upgraded at that time.

Normal for Abby
H 4c

Most of us would be happy with this weather for 7 days..at least there would be some people getting snow.

Over what years are those averages taken?

Also, saw this from NWS in Seattle. Would expect some of these “normals” to increase a bit.

+12 already! Happy New Year!

Good chance of lowland snow tomorrow night followed by plenty of Mountain snow.

Gorgeous day outside . Doing some work on the sledding hill, in the seemingly tiny chance we can actually use it.

What's new? Do we need to post EPS maps or not?

Remember kids, enjoy the weather... it's the only weather you've got.

I've never been able to figure out how those "normals" on the EC pages are calculated... but if you look in the section below you can see the average high and low for the date...

For Abbotsford:
Average high 5.3°C
Average low -0.8°C

This seems fairly accurate to me.

I fear we may not be getting an updated normals because a lot of the EC stations that were used to calculate the normals no longer exist (replaced by Nav Can stations which are considered different station for data purposes).

Monty calling him out.

Progressive pattern was always in the cards. This would bring varying weather such as heavy rain, dry and warm conditions and fringe lowland snow chances.

Those fools keep searching for arctic outbreaks which arent in the cards

He's upset because people aren't buying into his January 1969 thoughts just yet. Of course anything is possible but to start shouting January 1969 is quite silly at this point, unless of course you enjoy major disappointment. It is rather odd that he thinks everyone is crazy for not buying into the GFS runs just yet.

Well we get to kick off January 2020 with a current temp of + 11
