I find it deeply weird when the temperature climbs into the 60s four hours after sunset in November and remains at that level all night.

Cheap labor is only one part of the story. "China has close to 50 graduate programs that focus on either battery chemistry or the closely related subject of battery metallurgy. By contrast, only a handful of professors in the United States are working on batteries." https://www.business-standard.com/world-news/how-china-built-tech-prowess-chemistry-classes-and-research-labs-124081000019_1.html https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20251110-how-china-won-the-worlds-battery-race

GEFS caving to EPS with that trough setting up in the west post Thanksgiving.

Probably had close to half a dozen booms and big flashes, total was .43"

50 degrees and current wind speed 21 mph. 31 mph wind gust. Crazy wind

Its 50 degrees out... still haven't even come close to a killing frost here...

Worried about SER this winter. I’ve seen this tune before it gets going and PNA continues to screw us until a one week post frontal cold snap in January especially in a La Niña year. This setup is tough to burn in the SE especially when it’s already rearing its head. Could flip, but color me concerned with PNA trending negative. At least it’s mid November not mid December heading into a screwball pattern but winters where the SER gets going and Pacific trends to hell tend to have repeat performances through the season and being a Nina year It doesn’t feel great seeing this pattern show up

Received no rain overnight. Temp is a balmy 62F at 3 AM. Pressure is down to 990.2 mb. Winds are light... For now.

Big few days incoming for the slopes

The system around Thanksgiving looks interesting. Maybe colder towards the start of Dec.

Yep and we had 6" on 2/12/24 and 11.25" on 2/17/24 (the CNJ mesoscale deathband snow)

Let it snow

Last year was great, 8.5 inch storm and a couple of of 2 inchers. The previous two years were nothing.

I'm sure it is there, Just started here -SN, 30/25F.

Heavy rain

Ripping rain.

I am now RAVENOUS. Thanks. Imma gonnabe getting some tomorrow! I'd add some steamed broccoli and cauliflower with a touch of butter. Then, afterward I'd kick back and watch Red October in full stereo turned waaaaaay the hell up!

That was a cold winter with alot of fluffy snow.

47 when I parked the car in Baltimore and come out two hours later and its a different night. Something may be wicked with this front and my firepit event in big jeopardy

Dumping at SR

mid 60s now.

Good wins for the Hoos today. Pounded Duke (offense finally showed up after being MIA for a few weeks). And in basketball, man - we haven't played high level teams yet, but the team is looking good. Dropped 104 on Marshall.

Got up to 37F today, melting out the valley fields to reveal deep green. Snow really is poor man’s fertilizer… less than a 1,000ft higher saw a high of 32F and very healthy snowpack on the ground.

Hit 74 here. Dew points in the low 50's made for a really nice day. No breeze did mean mosquitoes though.

Welcome to the high Sierra Cordillera, Lucy's Washington DC Edition 2025. It finally managed to fall to 32 degrees. Ground FINALLY managed to eke out a white coating. This, at 9,000 feet in the Sierra in mid to late November! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/main-lodge It's finally cold enough for snow at 9,000 feet and the snow is super light. Damn. Out of moisture. Sound familiar, DC'ers? We're playin the Lucy game here at Mammoth this winter! Local meteorologists up here are frazzled and humbled as storm tracks end up all over the place! They are not even sure that Mammoth will ever see enough snow to open up at all anytime soon! That damn RADAR is making me want to walk the Ledge again! All the heavy stuff is moving northwest, AWAY from Mammoth! DAMN! Its been so damn bad up here that the resort was forced to POSTPONE the Saturday Opening! Why, you ask? NO SNOW! Just mud. It's called La Nina. That means warmer than normal in the Sierras, Deep South and Texas. Cold as fuck in the Midwest, Great Lakes and Mid Atlantic and the Northeast will be particularly hard hit with Ice Age-magnitude cold and snows. At this rate I will soon be so despondent about thin snows at Mammoth, that I will soon be ripe for reaping. It's THAT BAD! Gonna have to develop some snow futility markers for up here! Like the fact that it hits 32 degrees then bounces back up to 33 - all night long. This ensures hardly more than an inch accumulates - even though it snows hard as heck all night, like last night.
