Recent Ninas have been normal to slightly above snowfall for here overall. A couple big clunkers in there too. Mostly depends on the NE PAC ridge position/orientation, and getting some luck in the NA. Cold ENSO seems to be predominant in the current regime. Probably should get used to it.
I haven't cut grass in weeks. Probably do it a couple more times and put the mower away.
Going to overseed with a white clover/grass seed mixture in the next couple weeks.
A few more weeks and the pond gets covered until early December so it doesnt fill up with leaves. Perpetual leaf fall and constant blowing/raking is almost upon us.
I've been up since 430 working out and doing chores. Heading out to do recyclables and yard work shortly.
College football galore, Fall-like weather, a 4 day weekend (for me). Currently sitting here at 7am eating cold pizza and drinking an IPA lol.
The incredibly nice weather looks to continue into the first week of September. The trade off is mostly dry conditions with moisture remaining south of us/off the coast.. l think I'll take it.
This looks great for dry and cooler than normal weather for the area. Not so good for rain. Any disturbance that tries to gain latitude will likely end up well offshore.
I was teaching a class and the tables/desks started shifting back and forth. Everyone immediately knew what was going on. Then Irene hit, which was pretty bad here. A big Oak came down and just barely scraped the back of the house. Was lucky. Got plenty of firewood from that. That was a pretty interesting week lol.
There isn't any 'new way' to fail.
The way we win is the same as it has been lately with predominately -ENSO and the tendency for ridging in the EPO space. Time a wave moving along the thermal boundary when it's just to our south, and be content with light to moderate events. If we get really lucky maybe a couple pieces of energy phase early enough to get something bigger.
