    Gorgeous early spring morning out there -- sun shining, birds chirping, squirrels frolicking, yellow jacket buzzing, snow shovel fossilizing due to years of inactivity, 43F.

    Looking through some old posts, looks like the last time we had anything significant to track was the arctic front last Christmas. Before that, Jan '22??

    Trash night tonight. Have to remember to douse myself with Off so I don't get Malaria out there in our new, Christmas-tropical climate. 53F/DP 52F with crud

    This. Jan 15/MLK Day-ish is my annual toss-the-towel date. If we haven't seen cold and snow by then and the models are still can kicking any pattern change out into the LR, the writing is on the wall. Met winter is half over by then. (Yes, I know it snows in March and April). Not saying we wouldn't see a 10 day-two week period at some point where we can get on the board. But any significant turn around is unlikely at that point.

    Event total of 2.30", monthly total 9.75". The yard is a swamp this morning, 50F.

    Yes, the Pac jet has been the issue for the last several winters. I'm not cancelling winter on 12/27, but it seems I've been reading posts about the MJO cycling into better phases, jet retractions and SSW events since Thanksgiving. Just getting a feeling that in another 6 weeks or so, we'll be reading posts about how the writing was on the wall back around the holidays with all the cold air trapped on the other side of the globe and the wretched NA snow cover.

    Just want to make sure I'm following along...up until 48 hours ago, we were excited that a SSWE would occur to lock in a long-term, cold and snowy pattern. Now that the models seem to be backing off that idea it's, "we don't want a SSWE cause they wrecks our snow chances".

    Sun peaking out, temps approaching 50F (currently 48F). A typical Christmas Day weather wise in SE PA. Merry Christmas, everyone!!

    N’ah, too chilly for Christmas. We’re usually in the upper 50’s. Feels more like Memorial Day weekend at the shore. 38F

    Here’s another tip…get an education so you don’t have to work in fast food all your life!! It was BK. I gave the guy $2. Why? Cause if I don’t, he’ll spit in my food or wipe his a$$ with my burger!! And why does every counter have a tip jar now? Why can’t I buy something and not make it back to my car before I get a text or email asking me to compete a survey about my purchase or my “experience”? Yeah, “I walked into a cvs to buy toothpaste and it was an erotic experience”.

    Last evening in a moment of weakness I hit a fast food drive thru. The guy at the window asked if I would like to include a tip! wtf??? Is this something new?

    It doesn’t snow 99.999% of the time. Seems easy to ascribe any correlation one wishes. Happy Festivus all! 36F

    Damn, happy hour delivered! Enjoy the next six hours

    Op at range. But yeah, rain all the way up to the Poconos??
  15. JTA66
    Where are the under-sea volcanoes when we need them??

    In case this winter is a ratter, only 275 days until Fall 2024. Although I see other forums have already cancelled next winter due to a raging Niña, so only 640 days until Fall 2025. Patience!

    Something has to freeze first before there can be a thaw...just sayin'.
  18. JTA66
    Let me guess, it’s only 10 days away.

    Finished with 3.40”. Pavement quickly dried up with the gusty winds and some sun. The ground however should remain a sponge cake for the foreseeable future.

    Up to 3.35” now. Was 59F at midnight, currently 49F. Birdbath is overflowing so the critters will be happy. Neighbor’s inflatable penguin is swaying back and forth on the lawn, so winds are starting to pick up.
  21. JTA66
    3.25” so far, sump pumps cranking away, 52F.
  22. JTA66
    The first outer bands are here, picked up .10” already. 50F

    Good mow yesterday (and I didn’t get stung by any yellow jackets). The last time I mowed was around Halloween. I mainly wanted to mulch the leaves but was surprised how much the grass had grown since late October. It looks like this storm is a Miller A? That has to be a good sign. They’ve been rare in recent years. And even if it was cold, this looks like it’s taking an inland track, so we’d be flipping to rain anyway. 48F

    Think I’ll sneak in one more mow out front today — mulch up the remaining leaves and cut the grass low so if we ever do break our 1” snow drought it will look like a BECS out there. Hope I don’t stir up any yellow jackets. 30F

    We do La Nina’s well.
