Wow, a cold front extending from Vancouver, Canada, reaches as far as Veracruz...pretty amazing something that came that far. We are about 100 miles north of Vancouver and haven't seen any snow yet, just our usual 36 to 39 degrees F.and no frost for weeks, but quite a bit of fog.
Our coldest times come as a result of ultra high pressure systems that form in Siberia, go west through Alaska. In February of 1989 air traffic in Anchorage came to a standstill as planes tried in vain to deice; as days went on this system drifted down into B.C. and set a new Canadian Record for High Pressure. Here in our town, about February 5th, 1989, we skated on a lake that nobody could remember ever skating on before. A few days later it snowed in Los Angeles, for the first time in 25 years.
