I'm sure we'll get NAM'd once or twice this weekend, so we have that to look forward to.

Worst pattern change ever lol, but it did look good at range..and on that one near biblical GFS run 

Other than one week in mid Jan featuring two nuisance events, it's been another ratter. What are we left with? Hoping for a paste job in early March to declare victory? Hey, I'll track anything as long as there's something to track. But I don't think enough winter is left for "the big turned around" we've all been hoping for.

I had mentioned it here -

It happened sometime in November around Thanksgiving.

Thanks! Like most weenies, my reading comprehension/retention sucks 

I’ll like it more when I’m shoveling.

Rain, 39F at International Falls. Heck of a way to run a winter.

I haven’t been paying attention but sounds like KYW is back with AccuWx? I heard Joe Lundberg today.

It will be gone by 0Z but for now the Euro is showing some junk n’ stuff for next Monday. Sure would be fun to track again, this patience stuff sucks.

Gorgeous Pac puke afternoon, 48F w/o a cloud in the sky.

To be clear, I don't doubt there's a pattern change after mid month. To what extent, how long-lived and whether it produces, tbd.

Funny story, I'm currently in a Teams meeting with normal co-workers (meaning they're not weather-obsessed weenies like us). They're going on about the ground hog and looking at the weather on their phones seeing the warm week ahead. Yeah, they think we're clear sailing into spring from here. 

Let's move Ground Hog's Day to 12/2...put his winter forecast up against JB's and DT's 

.15" overnight, nice mud fresher! 40F

My lawn tractor was returned this week from being serviced. I'm ready to mow.

And more....what is up (possibly) w/these players?

Play sports, make millions and stay out of trouble then retire. Simple.

Never tracked clouds before but studying the data the last hour it's been every bit as bad as it seemed to be. Also the last five years about the cloudiest period on record.

 

I don't speak Chuck, but he posted in the MA forum a few months back that the increase in cloud cover indicates we are headed for a snowier era in the years ahead, so there's that.

Cecily last night pretty much cancelled/postponed winter till "maybe" around mid-Feb with graphics and such which is probably true so we're probably screwed for another couple weeks.

I may punt winter soon and root for a cool, cloudy Spring with some house rattling- transformer exploding T-Storms...

I've basically already punted. December was a bust, we got a week of winter in Jan, and now we're counting on the back half of Feb to produce just as we're leaving our prime snow climo.

Again, maybe we go on a heater for a few weeks late Feb into March, but overall this has been another disappointing winter as a whole.

Probably. I don't own a cat but there is one who roams around time to time.

Overall, I'm trying to convince myself they know something we don't about a upcoming blizzard...we're running out of time.

35F/Cloudy

T minus 50: 

Yeah, this is why playing the 10 days away from being 10 days away game is getting to be dangerous now. Still, I'll remain optimistic late Feb into March produces.

32F

To be clear, I'm just mangled flake hunting imby. To see white rain during our relax/Pac-puke/MJO-hates-us phases/biblical jet extension/every teleconnection we need negative is positive and vice versa pattern would be a small victory. 

Another post that didn't age well, but again, it was a long, long shot at best.

Finished with 1.10", currently breezy, 38F. Sounds like all our eggs are now in the late Feb basket. At least it's a leap year, so we got that going for us. 

It's as if the Lions went into the locker room at halftime and suddenly remembered they were the Lions. I felt bad for all the fans watching at Ford Field. That must have been such a party at halftime, and then...

High so far today was 43 probably after midnight last night temps have held steady all day 39-41f.

Welcome back to December 2023 for now!

“What happens in December the winter will remember.”

Funny how that saying doesn’t get tossed around when December is a ratter. 

Approaching 1” for our latest event. Had a high of 42F earlier, now down to 39F.

The hype for February is so thick you can cut it with a steak knife and serve it with a loaded baked potato

 

Anything short of 60” and February is an epic fail!!

Shhh…with goaltending too

This didn’t age well 

I won’t go so far as to say I’m glad the Flyers hit this skid, but I was getting worried they might to something stupid at the trade deadline. I hope there’s no doubt now they need to be sellers.

Feb 5 looking interesting on the ensembles. Large S Central Canada ridge with a wave undercutting it. Big ull spinning over coastal Maine. Cold air available. Ops are meh. Then the ens and weeklies go bonkers after the 10th thru mid March. Buckle up.

 

But for the time being, are we free to move about the cabin?

The last little patch of snow at the base of the driveway vanished today. It’s like last week never happened. I’m with Ji… enough h5 plots, let’s start tracking!! 

I didn’t see a visible sat pic. I mean, the sun must have been out in DC, right?? No way they hit 80F with cloud cover on Jan 26th

I was very much looking forward to 7-10 days of 50's and even 60's with no yellow jackets left before a swing back into winter I think it wants to be cold.

 

There was a gnat buzzing around my mailbox today.

To be clear, I'm just mangled flake hunting imby. To see white rain during our relax/Pac-puke/MJO-hates-us phases/biblical jet extension/every teleconnection we need negative is positive and vice versa pattern would be a small victory.

43F/light rain/fog  (Dover @ 61F)

I was curious to see where the NAM was headed after hour 84.

Yeah, NAM at range and this is the longest of long shots, but what the hell…I $hit the blinds on Monday, so…

12z Euro still showing the Sunday non-thingy, thing. Hmmm
