^Lol, you two posted about the same thing at the same time. But yeah, that storm looks totally apocalyptic. Would love to be up there right now.

Temperatures over the last several days:

Bellingham:
Jan 13: 23/18
Jan 14: 21/15
Jan 15: 45/15
Jan 16: 45/19

Seattle :
Jan 13: 37/30
Jan 14: 36/28
Jan 15: 46/32
Jan 16: 45/35

Portland:
Jan 13: 40/36
Jan 14: 41/32
Jan 15: 42/33
Jan 16: 43/32

Bellingham near the Canadian border has been a lot colder. Portland has also been slightly colder the last several days. This was not like February 2019. Snow and cold were very localized this year. Some forecast from 7 days ago called for much colder weather and potential ice days when in reality even overnight temperatures were not that bad. I guess the weather in this region is very hard to forecast because of the many microclimates.

The midsection of Oklahoma, centered along the I-44 corridor, got generous amounts of cold rain on Jan. 16 and 17. All three metros got over an inch. More rain is in the forecast later this month. For now strong southwest winds are raising the temperature from the 40s to well in the 50s tonight out ahead of a cold front. Its arrival will clear the skies, rather than make more rain.

Here it comes. My first 2" snowfall of the season here.

Lightly snowing in DC. Richmond was on the very edge and reporting a Trace of snow for an hour or 2.

So it will feel like winter for at least a few days

CFSv2 will not bend. It says the cold is here to stay for the next month. The Euro which is the better model says NOPE. However, the Euro has not been performing well recently.

The latest Euro weeklies do not show any major torch or cold blast but they do keep it slightly below average around here

Euro ensembles show a torch setup at least for the 6-10 day

Record one day snowfall yesterday for St. John's, NF ….76.2 cm at the airport.


Mayor shut down the city...even the snowplows were taken off the road.


And that's a city used to a lot of snow!

Hasn't been below 32F yet this month. Could get a couple of freezing lows early next week with 28F forecast Monday night.

Average to date this month has been 66.1/46.4F...

Hope we downgrade our forecast a couple of degrees today so that it accumulates. At least a lag in the warmup would be nice.
