Thank you for the response, I will follow the Meteoblue forecast and see how it tracks with actual.

Why is the ECMWF so far off on temperatures this winter? It didn't seem to be a problem last year. For Zip code 99006 the airport weather station this morning has the temp at 3, the ECMWF has it at 30. Not sure how you can extend an accurate forecast when you are that far off on your starting point?
