Anyone know why the Physical Sciences Division stopped updating ssts? Is this the end for it? https://psl.noaa.gov/map/clim/sst.shtml

u keep doing u comrade

Kind of with Scott on the mid monther ... for the time being, anyway. I'm open to changes at 7+ days of course, but ugly overnight. I didn't like 00z GEFs or the EPS regarding that period. They were not representative of a type of system we'd expect to see emerging - better hints in prior cycles have regressed to ...something else. This is all given to the blah blah PNA gobble-dee goop. Both look like some kind of polar boundary with maybe a clipper on it? not very clear what that is... but the passage is NW-SE and not including much of any coherency to a coastal. Basically unremarkable. Meanwhile, the operational GFS' 0z and slightly less so, 06z kind of does, but they just look weird. So does the GGEM...

Snowfall up....heating bill and salt usage down.....

Last January I remember being elated that it snowed on my birthday. This birthday it will be 73 degrees in the exact same location.

I was just looking at my Facebook memories from last January. What a different a year makes lol. Last year it was winter. This year were stuck in November weather like our classic shitty winters lol

We have not had one fun storm to track… Just hella cold. Need I mentions the other “benefits” of this crap Pattern— Heating bills up ice melt use up slips trips falls up doggy depression up boredom up

Another season that I'd take and run and at this point.

Could even be 2....we just don't know... jk love ya, Wolfie!

Best event was the 15.9" of snow on 2/12. Even got a call from NWS Blacksburg confirming what I had on the ground due to a 15" report from a spotter 5 miles away earlier. Why? Because forecast was 6-8" lol. Needless to say a BIG forecast update took place within the hour. Second would be snow OTG from 1/6 thru the end of month, 25 days! Third would be the erratic rainfall for summer and fall, with weeks of dry then a one day 2 incher to only run off!

But we're only 2 1/2 weeks into winter...

I'd kill for this season....more than double the snowfall, and when it wasn't snowing, it was pleasant with minimal inconvenience or salt showering my vehicle.

Over the top heat. KBOS at 37. KGON at 27.

I changed my contest number at the end of the deadline I should of stuck with the dreadful ones I had initially lol. Always get wrapped up in the hype as the season draws closer. Damn it.

Good morning guys, plenty of opportunities for next week, we'll see what happens. We need a big one here

Does the Wiggum rule require that reading at PHL airport?

Even a ratter is better than rotten…

Good news.

Maybe the best of winter is yet to come! Waiting for that 2' snow storm, it's been awhile!

Do me the privilege sharing Liam's feed in one week from now....it will probably be filled with 20-something hour runs from late January.

I mean, ON PAPER...I see plenty of hope later in the season....but truth be told, I want out- Under 9" on the season headed into mid January at my locale, and nothing but misfit, orphaned PNA ridges in the imminent future? Suck a poison-d1ck and GTFO of here with that.

Global ensembles overnight continued to ramp up snow amounts for week 2 through day 16. We should at least have chances for Winter weather tracking starting next week & beyond.
