The Washington Wizards are the dumbest franchise in pro sports ruining their ranking by winning meaningless games

That’s an insane vagrant species! I was just reading about them after you mentioned it, seems like they pop up randomly across the planet lol. I’ve never gotten one that cool - neatest one was a Mountain Bluebird in Harford County (although they are kind of expanding east naturally at this point).

Well I’ve accomplished the goal of staying up here as much as I could so far. It’s been very good to say the least. You know you’re getting acclimated when you’re walking outside in short sleeves in single degree weather. But with the quiet wx coming and work about to pick back up it’s about time to head back home to the subtropics of the CTRV for a bit.

The moonlight is serious

And this goes to show that we weren't just hand out lollipops here. That would be a ridge in the west and a trough in the east. So, if we are wrong...we are in good company.

so it’s shit vs shittier lol

Mammoth Snowfall Rates are expected to hit 3.3 inches per hour tomorrow at noon. They are expecting up to 4 feet with 100mph wind gusts. They had 11 inches overnight into this morning. As long as it's snowing like that there, we're not going to be having much in the way of winter chances.

See-Mour Snow in Methuen than CT....'bout time.

Epic

It’s mostly rain for us, but it’s baby steps.. let’s see if we can get things to trend, colder. Jan 6-11 look mild at least around here. After jan 11-12 we should turn a bit colder and hopefully have a +PNA to work with

Wow

Don't you use/threaten me with that word! LOL Or you can watch hockey, ice, white, snow in the corners/boards .

Curious sometimes to think of what an obs station 150 miles SE of NYC would get every year for snow. Looks like a nice ocean effect band out there right now.

Syracuse is off to its third fastest start in terms of seasonal snowfall.

From the NE forum:

How’s February looking?

Then @dailylurker and @katabatic won't have to travel so far!

That sounds like a lot of snow to ice ending as rain south of pike

Addendum: December 2025 was the 5th coldest out of the past 31 Decembers here. It didn't even seem that cold, but certainly we didn't have the extreme warm outlier days that seem to have become prevalent in December. 12/25 average was 33.1, December mean is 37.2. Here are the 5 coldest: December 2000 - 29.6° December 1995 - 30.7° December 2010 - 32.2° December 2002 - 32.9° December 2025 - 33.1°

Here are some interesting albeit depressing observations from a well known and respected longtime recorder of the weather in Colorado’s mountains a little north of Crested Butte. https://www.gothicwx.org. The recent warmth in particular has been truly extraordinary - absolutely obliterating past records left and right - though the lack of snow and first ever officially observed December rain in his spot is also striking. Only adding to the frustration is the persistent negative PNA pattern we’ve had, which is usually favorable for the Rockies. But that monster ridge over the southern Plains that seemingly won’t budge has generally been tearing the systems apart before reaching CO while places like CA have had considerable improvements since mid-December, which is great for them. But really sucks for us to be failing to capitalize on a PNA status that eventually will get worse for all of the West. Just seemingly cannot win this season so far here in CO. Last winter was also one of the least snowy seasons in 50+ winters of Gothicwx (see above) record keeping. So we’re arguably on track to have 2 of the least 5 snowy winters in the western central CO mountains over the past 50+ years within merely two seasons, though it is still somewhat early and, yes, things can change this season. Even so, the degree of recent change in our weather is pretty shocking, even knowing what has been predicted with climate change. I acknowledge we have also recently had a good snow season locally (2022-23, which was a horrid year for the East), but the extremes on the warm/less snow side are far more dramatic. Just thought I’d throw in a little more perspective from a part of the West that once had reliably very snowy winters, with just a few exceptions.

More than that.

Great to see AI learning as designed. Theoretically it should only get better.

Never concerned - still going up here.
