Thanks Paym,

We had a cold arctic outflow here on Vancouver Island in early January as well. Depending on where one is on the coast, the cold advection was not as bad as as Ontario's cold which I experienced for two decades before moving out here. Though it was cold in Victoria during this month, we set no records (Victoria's coldest ever is -13C)and no days failed to reach freezing for a high, but when the cold broke, we set a record high of 17C!

But I remember those cold outbreaks in Ontario in the late 1970s that never seemed to end!

Unfortunately the new size restriction on diagrams will make those like "air mass origin" map fairly unreadable.
