    But I don't like the new colors because I was so used to the old version.

    What would you say the odds are of beating 2007 or 2016?

    Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere in this forum, but is there a good place for me to learn about Arctic ice melt forecasting? I hear you guys talking about a dipole a lot, and I would guess that that means high pressure in one place and low pressure in another place, but what does that mean for melting exactly?

    I was looking at the GFS and it shows a lot of lower 500 mb heights over the Arctic Ocean in the next couple of weeks. Will that slow the rate of melting a lot?

    The heat index got up to 116 yesterday in the southernmost part of Oklahoma.

    Anchorage, AK set their all-time record high of 89°F yesterday, and looks to get into the mid-80s for the next few days as well. Most of Alaska has been a good bit warmer than normal so far this summer.

    Oklahoma City had its coldest January-June average temperature since 1993, and its fifth wettest such period on record.

    I'm missing out on the fun because I'm in Oklahoma now. It really sucks when Brownsville, TX gets snow before Norman, OK. We're like 20F colder in winter on average!

    The Bering and Chukchi Seas apparently have unprecedented levels of open water for this time of year. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/30112017/arctic-sea-ice-extent-record-chukchi-bering-sea-alaska-ocean?

    After a dry start to March, we've had some nice rains the past few weeks. There was supposedly hail in Norman today, but I was in class at the time. It hit 91 in March but hasn't gotten above 84 yet this April.

    It looks only a few degrees below normal to me.

    It's been really warm this month and some of the trees have started to bud and leaf. But I haven't seen many flowers on campus yet. I guess they're waiting for the last freeze.
  13. lookingnorth
    Well the Arctic sea ice extent is close to 3rd place now.

    It looks pretty warm here in Oklahoma. The average for this time of year is like 54/31.
  15. lookingnorth
    It's currently in the mid 40s and sunny here. If it's not going to snow, that's the kind of winter weather I prefer.
  16. lookingnorth
    I'm sort of in the middle range. 2.8" of frozen precipitation is good, but when places 15 mi to my NW get 7", it's disappointing.
  17. lookingnorth
    I only got 2.8", while I was expecting 4-8". It's disappointing, but I know those in the Raleigh area did even worse.
  18. lookingnorth
    The nice snow I was getting just changed back to sleet.
  19. lookingnorth
    I'm still concerned about the warmth here in Chapel Hill. As of right now, all models give me a good dose of snow/sleet, but if this thing trends NW any more, I'll have the same problems those in Wake County are having. I still thing the Greensboro to Petersburg jackpot seems likely.
  20. lookingnorth
    So much for that fear.
  21. lookingnorth
    I'm honestly more afraid of being too far NW than too far SE with this system. I'm afraid there will be more southeast trends in the future, leaving me with little snow.
  22. lookingnorth
    That's why I'm glad I live in Chapel Hill (when I'm not at college). It gives me just a little more room than RDU. But sometimes I wish I lived in Hillsborough or somewhere in northern Orange County so I'd do even better.
  23. lookingnorth
    Lol it has a low of 0 with a wind chill of -15F for Raleigh. I believe that's wind chill warning criteria.
  24. lookingnorth
    The Euro must have been pretty crazy. There were nine pages of posts in the three hours since I last checked the forum.
  25. lookingnorth
    Yeah, that.
