Itstrainingtime

Even though we don't get much at all along the southern tier, you can see that the pattern's changing. This is an impressive amount of the country getting precip:

Watching the Brewers reminds me of when I was a senior in high school back in 1982. The Brewers came to Memorial Stadium with a 3 game lead on the final weekend of the season. The Birds swept a twinight doubleheader on Friday and then won big on Saturday, setting up the division championship on Sunday afternoon. It was also Earl Weaver's final game. (at least the first time) Milwaukee won big, but the O's came back the following year and won it all. I was 18 at the time. I'm now 61 and still waiting for another World Series in Baltimore. Sigh.

It looked like we were finally going to break the dry streak as early as this coming Monday. CTP has now removed all chances of rain (here) until at least next Thursday. Ouch.

I haven't skied in years and never have out west. If you ever get a chance, visit Mammoth Lakes, CA. I did back in 2023 when they had over 700" for the season. I was there in May and there was still multiple feet on the ground in town and the mountain remained open into August. But like the rest of the west, the past couple of years have not been good. This year they didn't make it to June.

One more week of dry weather. Meanwhile, out west, ski resorts are on the verge of opening for the 26-27 winter season.

I probably respect your thoughts, ideas and opinions on winter weather patterns more than just about anyone on the entire forum. Please consider coming back in here and sharing that. But leave this for the dedicated thread.

Sigh.

Pretty crazy 7 day QPF map considering how far away the closest rain is to us as well as how long it's been since it last rained.

I picked nearly 3 dozen Jet Stars last week and told my wife that was a wrap. Last evening, I picked 10 more! My tomatoes are still going.

Oh, there will be input from him. And maps. And more maps. And even more maps. Love ya', @Blizzard of 93 Don't ever change.

I hope you're right about December. I love when it's cold leading up to the holidays. A lot of what I'm reading is that December might be well AN. I'm riding your prediction.

Growing season lives on here - low of 35 the past 2 mornings with zero frost.

37 currently. A few rural areas close by are in the low to mid 30s and there's hours left for temps to fall.

Just .09" fell here. Temp down to 65 which is much closer to what it should be. High today was 83.

Winds came howling out of nowhere. Here we go. Goodbye, summer! Take your time coming back.
