Spring arrived the last week of January. I dont even care that it barely snowed; that is normal here. But, the lack of any storms in February is head -scratching. We're not even officially out of the drought.

Unequivocally, I can say this has been the most useless Nino of my life. Almost wall to wall warmth and barely even avg precip. Nearly halfway through Feb and I have .02". This has been an absolute disaster.

I invoke my 5th Amendent rights. Lol. Nice weather doesn't do me any good on a workday.

Looks like the epic pattern is on life support. I'm shocked that a day 16 pattern in a disastrous winter fails to materialize.

Another day with the AC cranking in the car and everyone walking about the neighborhood in shorts. In fact the neighbor kid is outside washing the family SUV in shorts and tank top. Car thermometer was 69F on the way back from the gym. Another run at 70F. Sweet pattern. Epic.

Yes. That it doesn't happen.

Epic tick-killing pattern is coming. Only 240hrs away. Hold on!

And they've barely produced anything.

March is going to be special. It's ripe. The pattern looks amazing. All we'll need is -25F departures, heavy rates, and nocturnal storms. And if not, This amazing pattern has legs well into April.

Permanent ground hog day here. Every morning you wake up and see an amazing pattern 2 weeks away.

Well, we've already had our first 80F day, so...

Losing the blocking before it ever began. Color me shocked. Lol.

Yeah, let's worry about this nearly snowless winter before worrying about next year's.

Good. It beats suppressed and dry, at least.

Take away all the losses, interceptions, and incompletions and Dak Prescott is a great QB.

Then they were all at the Mountain Park. Snow tubing was completely packed yesterday. Completely.

See above. It has most definitely been kicked. At one point we were talking about the 5th as being the start of trackable threats. A week later and we're still posting 384 hr maps. And besides, this is the panic room.

You deserve a weenie for that.

I've never been there. Thanks for introducing that one! On the list.

I guarantee you I wouldn't get tired of it if we had 18 weeks like it. Lol.

You'd have thought we were there in the middle of May.

I dont know of any winter enthusiasts, who primarily make up the population of this forum, who wouldn't want wall to wall winter. Having said that, yes, everyone knows our climo here and the best we can expect is periods of winter mixed in with warmer episodes. But, this is not what has happened. It's been 8 weeks of spring with one week of winter. We should be able to do better than that in an El-nino. Who knows, maybe they'll be an epic period to close it out, although, by the time it gets here we'll be fighting an uphill struggle with climo.

He's not complaining about the week. He's complaining that it's the only week. What about the other 8 weeks of this winter, how do they rank?

Went to Davis and Deep Creek yesterday. Not a flake of snow to be found. Nothing but bare ground. 46F in Davis at 3,000ft+. What a winter.
