Squall line was legit up here. Had some big gusts right on the edge of the front and then sheets of rain. I learned I'm fairly protected from westerly/southerly winds by the wooded area in the backyard but KSLK gusted to 61.
The pack barely hung on. Temperature crashed immediately. Temp dropped from 50.8 to 40.3 in 30 minutes. Down to 34.5 now with snow.
It’s definitely not as good down his way. Rain on the 23rd while everyone else is snowing would objectively suck. Still time for this one though so nothing is locked.
That was me citing the GFS, not Euro. Just speaks to how much models diverge on this razor's edge setup.
An all or nothing type setup. I don't like it at all, but again I'd prefer being on the bleeding edge than guaranteed to be torching in Topeka.
Yeah I liked that signal a few days ago and I think we’re in good shape right now. We definitely need to bring that home. A few inches would put us closer to Dec climo with uncertainty about the post Christmas possibilities.
All of our psychological hopes of a white Christmas aside, we’re still about a week out from all of this so I hope folks don’t get too riled up yet.
Since we’re riding the boundary it could really go either way if we have a shortwave nearby. I don’t hate the signal especially considering that this is more clipper than coastal.
Yeah it's all we got right now. Just need to keep the signal and hope we juice up as we get closer in time. At least it seems like the blowtorches for Christmas and Christmas Eve are being held at bay as we close in.
