    Venn diagram of winter 2019-2020...

    I need to resolve to never read another long-range winter forecast again. Forget a three-month forecast: we can’t even get three days right. We might as well resort to palm reading or pig entrails.

    It’s official. The winter of 2019-2020 can’t bring up its grade no matter what happens over the next month. This winter gets an... F

    This wind is annoying AF. I lost two glass panels in a patio lantern. That’s nothing compared to others.

    This wind is going bonkers. A 53 mph gust was recorded at PTI airport this morning. 25 mph sustained. Lots of power outages due to downed trees.

    KFCX radar is down due to a Verizon communications failure. ”America’s most reliable network.”

    Mark my words: six months from now—when the drought monitor map is painted orange—we won’t be able to buy a drop of rain.

    I’m really not too eager to see 3 to 5 inches of rain on top of already soggy soil. Around our back patio, we have four downspouts that have outlets running under the landscaping. I spent yesterday cleaning out three of them in preparation for this week’s Noahic event, but I’ll be darned if I can’t find the fourth one. It’s covered under mulch and soil and I’ve poked a prodded everywhere with no luck.

    Every day is Groundhog Day.

    Well, I’m usually pretty reluctant to throw in the towel, but looking long range doesn’t leave me too optimistic. At least I saw flakes and a very light mulch dusting last week, but this season has been miserable. The worst soggy and tepid winter in ages.

    And just when we’re starting to dry out, too. I was getting tired of toweling off my dog’s paws after he came back in.

    Remember when I-40 was the battle line? Now it seems to be I-64.

    I’ve somehow managed to confuse the birds by putting up a second feeder. They have no idea what to do.
  14. magpiemaniac
    Yeah, but they would usually back up their thoughts with a brief explanation of their thinking and not a simple “we ain’t getting jack squat” and then leaving.

    You got yourself a catchy hook for a country song. (Pardon the off-topic reply.)

    Warm and wet for the rest of January?

    It was tweeted yesterday by the NWS Eastern office.

    Drinking Sam Adams only sends the snow to Bahston. That’s not helpful. Maybe drink Red Oak or something from Highland or Foothills.

    I wonder what the next decade will look like.

    If we can’t trust the LR models when they’re looking good, don’t trust them when they’re looking bad. We’ve seen things flip unexpectedly before. Have hope.

    I don’t remember seeing so much cliff diving around here this early. It’s too early to write this winter off just yet. I’ll start getting nervous in around three weeks or so.

    I’m upgrading from a portable gas generator to a propane whole-house generator, but it’s not scheduled to be installed until the week between Christmas and New Year. Y’all can thank me for this early potential activity in December. Once the generator is installed, January and February will be quite.

    Probably so. I’m playing in a golf tournament on December 7. For that weekend, I’ll be conflicted between the wish to be sitting at home with a half foot of snow on the ground or out on the course with a mostly sunny 60 degrees. It’ll be a 34 degree rain.

    My elderly German Shepherd enjoys spending a lot of time on the screened in back porch with our Standard Poodle puppy. He doesn’t mind a dry (55% humidity) 20 degree day, but he hates these wet (95% humidity) 45 degree days. He gets chilled to the bone, so I bring him in. The pup, however, could stay out there all day. Ah, the benefits of youth. I didn’t realize that Standard Poodles like the water as much as he does even when it’s cold. I still bring him in though.

    We could have something to watch (and disappoint us) around Dec 2-3.
