It’s extremely difficult getting 2 days in a row of sunshine near the mountains. I’m becoming envious of locations further south and east. They even get more snow now lol.
Today was the first day that my hands felt legitimately cold while shooting hoops (my rib injury has started to simmer down a bit). Definitely a thick chilly out there today, though we did manage about 60/40 sun here which was a welcome surprise.
The upcoming forecast is giving me partly sunny, breezy, and chilly vibes through the week. It continues to be extremely difficult to get a big storm here.
As for today...primo.
This storm was a perfect combo of nighttime rain and a quick enough mover to get ample sunshine by midday. I’d enjoy it more if I wasn’t nursing a rib injury. Looks like an awesome stretch of weather coming up as well.
We’re heading in the right direction, though. Summer was canceled early, temps have been chilly, and it looks like the Gulf of Mexico is starting to wake up from a multi-year sabbatical.
You’re gonna pass an inch with this line. We do upflow well here. Hopefully this type of system can transilate to winter which is prob the main way we get 6-10” events.
It really comes down to how often you use it as a reference. If you always use mph and then all of a sudden someone mentions knots, having to do the conversion is tedious. But if you start using knots regularly, then I'm sure converting back to mph will be the annoying part.
It ain't looking good, that's for sure. I was a little concerned going into the season that they're a bit too old as a team (in football years). Not sure if that's a factor, but something is.
The scent of wall to wall winter vibes is increasing with each passing week. I guess the ultimate question is whether this pattern is becoming the base state for the next few months or just part of a turbulent ebb and flow. All I know is that the Desert Southwest is experiencing incredible weather right now.
The current satellite loop depicts us finally getting a high pressure to the north strong enough to allow for a system to actually move to the south. Is this the start of a pattern change towards systems that produce more than NS shortwave-inspired broken lines of showers and remnant cloud slop?
