At the same time, Juneau hits -10, equalling coldest temp since the 1970s. And: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/yukon-energy-blackouts-extreme-cold-9.7026976 These things aren't one way.

For most PNW stations, December has seen around 1-2F warming since 1940s. February hasn't warmed at all. Summer warming has been much more pronounced.

Yep. Canada will explode over the next week or so, though.

Should be noted that the first graph posted is only a small part of the Arctic.

Models have trended more bullish overnight. 3-6" looks like a good bet for most in Denver metro, possibly 8" or so for places like Lakewood and Littleton.

According to a lot of prognosticators in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s, we passed the point of no return quite awhile ago.

Now at 4.34" for the month. Crushing the October record.

More heavy rain in SLC, too. Closing in on a record wet October.

I'm not sure you understand "cheerleading". It's all discussion. Move along.

I'm such an idiot.

And I believe it's being discussed? Geez...ice narrative nazi here.

You're confusing this with the musings of exceptionally early mins (before 9/5) we hear every year. You think we'll see a min after 9/12?

Given the upcoming pattern, a late minimum (past 9/12) looks very unlikely. Good chance the min is before 9/10.

It was actually prior that I said that. Probably depends on how long the dipole persists. Hard to say, given that it's a pretty destructive pattern, but coming so late in the season. I'd probably say 3rd-5th is most likely at this point for area, at least.
