You must be fun at parties…

picked up 1.5" last night, just short of 20" on the season. as @HIPPYVALLEY said last night, it's been wintery, just not memorable. but 6 winter events since 12/23 is pretty good, just not a ton of depth to show for it

The subsurface temperature distribution in the Pacific is similar to 2023, but the surface is different. Relative warmth is more west-based this year.

@George001 regarding your question on the 2nd half of January - this is still my position.

It's dead when the atmosphere says it is.....you don't suffer from the symptoms of many viruses until they are essentially "dead", but you probably don't consider yourself "healthy".

32 degrees this morning. Big question? Is there going to be sun showing at all today? Doesn’t appear so….

I don't think that will necessarily be the case this year.

Define "well above average"....if you mean like +5F, I don't think you're getting that anytime soon.

North of the lakes region, it looks like they'll actually add to their pack, even through the weekend.

30 years ago Thursday it had snowed for 50 hrs, giving us 30". 10 days later, I had 3.20" of rain and a flood!

I'm starting to worry that the Jan 14-17 window is getting can kicked a bit since the 6-10 day eastern trough is getting less strong and the ridging over it is stronger. But the good news is MJO is starting to curve into 7 around day 15. So the pattern change after the 18th is probably real. Still not counting us out for the mid-Jan system, but there could be temp issues east of the BR.

Low of 27. There is no greater joy in life than waking up to Blizz having posted GFS 240+ hour snow threats. Always brings a smile to my face haha.

deep deep winter

La nina being basically dead does not mean it's not going to torch. In fact, the last time a la nina dissipated (in 2023), January and February absolutely torched in the East. Remember, the East has been in a cool pattern since August. We are due for a well above average temperature departure month.

I had 3-5" to include both events, Should end up on that high end as 3" tonight looks doable.

In the end 2-3 for me and 3-5 for you seems right.

If i was a betting man, i'd put my money on Friday 1/30-2/1

A Finnish start-up has introduced the first commercial solid-state battery: light-weight, durable, fast charging, and inexpensive. If product claims pan out, EV performance, which is already matching combustion vehicles, will improve dramatically. https://insideevs.com/news/783380/first-production-ready-all-solid-state-battery-official-specs/

I'm heading back up today----I've been away for over a week. No doubt there's a few inches from a few events waiting to be cleared.

Blizzard of 96?

Happy anniversary to the big dog

06z GFS, 3.4", 06z 3k Nam is around 4.9", 06z HRRR which has been awful was 6.4".........

Looks like most of the qpf will be in the form of snow.......NCP when it lightens up tomorrow.
