Hard hard pass

can do these dumb warm vs cold wars in a banter thread? Seriously if you don’t like someone’s forecast or analysis you’re free to do your own and contribute to this thread. Amazing how triggered people get on the internet.

This is NOT my idea of post Memorial Day weather...

Have to bag mine. It's very tall 6 inches. Might even have some dollar spot. Been so moist and cloudy. Will cut it tomorrow as the soil should be firmer and dew point even lower.

(Whoops, wrong thread - will leave it here unless someone wants to move it) I finished my ski season at Mammoth on 5/24. Still a decent variety of terrain open - all in the 9-11k elevation band (and crucially, all north facing). Mammoth had a below average season, but not epically bad like the rest of the west. They were helped by a few massive storm cycles in December and February, but more crucially, their elevation and exposure made the Western US March heat dome less of an extinction event. Then, they had an above average April with nearly 100" of snow. Projected closing date is 6/7. The first photo is looking down toward the base terminal of Chair 23 from the top of "Scotty's." The second photo is near the Western entrance of Yosemite at Tioga Pass.

Right over your head, not surprising. The people in here call for warmth and get boned up over it 24/7 and post from the upper mid-west and NE. That is what nearly every post is about and what people care to talk about. If you live in a desert, guess what, it is hot and sometimes breaks heat records. Why does that shock you? People there still live perfectly fine too, imagine that.

Nice, heading to Camden waterfront for a concert. Good night for it

A -2.6 F departure against our warmest 30 year average doesn’t even break top 50 coldest Januaries here LMAO. We’ve become so accustomed to the warmer climate we’re in now that what would’ve been considered a completely average, seasonably cold Jan just half a decade ago is now somehow standout cold to some. Also, as I mentioned in the Great Lakes sub forum, I rarely visit this board because it’s overrun with denialism, clueless takes, and the same braindead fools (many who happen to trolls as well) repeating themselves on loop, downplaying every warm up that’s headed their way. Pair that with people who are either unwilling or incapable of engaging with (because their heads are so far removed from reality) and there’s not much worth sticking around for. I’ve got better things to do than sit around and obsess over ho-hum 2-3 day cool shots that eventually get overshadowed by far more impressive heat pulses/ridges later on, or one slightly below average month followed by a several months of above to well above average temps. I’ve come to terms with this new climate, and I’m at peace (unlike many others on here). Winter never even arrived for the western half of the country, and the Desert Southwest experienced arguably the most extreme temperature event on record, but these people (if you can even call them people) choose to lose their minds over a largely average winter in the East, and an underwhelming first half of May in terms of cold.

The next 7 days look like ass. Which for work I approve but for summer fun and yard stuff…not so much.

They do provide weather reports for our local NPR radio station. I’m sure you are psyched about that.

The weathafella Father's day rule applies this year, it seems

Gonna be a perfect fishing/bonfire evening at the beach later.

well we actually got a passing shower in NW Philly (and a few serious wind gusts), which I believe technically brings us to 9 consecutive days with rain, although today's was not measurable

Yeah, it’s why I seldom frequent this board tbh. It’s a stagnant echo chamber propped up by denialism and people who are completely out of touch with reality (especially the older crowd/boomers). Add in the same recycled, low-effort trolling from the usual suspects as you mentioned, and it’s hard to take anything seriously here. That aside, it was a great spring overall, arguably close to how nice 2024 was.

beautiful lovely day low humidity comfortable temps gusty wind hard to believe this is late may weather..

^That's a good point. Definitely watch the S. Hemisphere Winter to see if it's propagating to the mid latitude Cell. Pretty good correlation you found there, I like how it's a sea of yellow otherwise.

Wow...did it ever get windy over here. It's gonna be interesting at my grandson's HS graduation ceremony if it keeps up like this

Curious to see the S hemisphere height anomalies for the ensembles. As they go into the cold season, are we seeing their counterpart to the deep Aleutian/GOA low? Asking because I don’t have access to good SH height anomaly ensemble maps.

Personally I don’t care about the rainfall amounts. Have golfed in the rain all year. It’s the temps in the 30s at 7a that can F off.

+7c has popped in the far east, highest of the event so far. Still warming. Definitely taking on an east-based look

Sounds like summer climo

-23 Daily SOI today If May ended now, it would be the 6th most negative SOI month since Apr 2016. Apr-May would be close to the 2nd lowest 2-month period since Apr 2016. Definitely an El Nino. I just don't know if it's going to go off the hinges in global pattern domination.

In other news, we have a pretty good +AO setting up for the early Summer (May-June), for the 3rd consecutive year.

Today was another day of blazing heat in France.

Oh yeah I forgotten they were let go.
