I can remember one of the Accuweather guys way back in the day, on 1010 WINS in NYC (may have been Elliot Abrams). He would refer to the first two weeks of February as "the snow window".
I may be wrong, but isn't a gradient pattern, Caribbean Ridge, compressed flow, etc.....part and parcel of a Nina regime?
In other words, tough to get a stemwinder?
This may be wishful thinking on my part, but I wonder if an extended MJO stay in the COD is just what the doctor ordered. Strong forcing seems to have forced jack-shit...in all octants.
Was Jerry hacked?
a. That doesn't sound like him.
b. I don't think Jerry would commit word usage butchery by misusing the word "infers" in that manner.
Tip will love this from today's NYT:
On Wednesday, the ground speed of a flight from Las Vegas to London hit 814 m.p.h., close to the subsonic speed record of 835 m.p.h., which was set by a flight from New York to Lisbon last February.
Today started with scattered cirrus that lowered and thickened all day. 18f. If this were the 1960s, I would swear that a major snowstorm was knocking on the door.
