That's quite the mild run of the GFS operational over all through about D11/ ..12

Removing the Friday cold snap ... it's again, the last belly blow for some time.   And that thing for Monday is hugely different in this run comparing the 00z Euro's evolution.  The GFS really flips the sensible and actual synoptics appeals by the end of the next day, Tuesday - with temps easily 70-74 given high sun and light west wind during Tuesday afternoon.  Very seasonal and normal looking fropa in a week, followed by a quick roll-out and return TX conveyor pattern.  Might even get DPs up here...

Its extended ... may be overdoing the warm complexion - but it's a tough call.  The NAO is neggie but it's a different format this go than three weeks ago.  That one was clearly a well defined and coherent blocking over the western limb of the NAO domain space, which concomitantly delivers under cut/stalling vortex regimes and we did suffer ...and probably ultimately parlayed into a snow threat even...all that - this is different.  Firstly, it's coming from the GEFs - I don't know if the EPS even sees the same index mode/modality that GEFs currently has...But also, looking over the individual members, they do not nearly as well agree upon the height orientation and structural attributes of the NAO domain space nearly as concertedly as before. 

So in a sense...it's like the current negative curved outlook at CPC is more of a numeric accident that they happen to compute the same value as though there really were a block - I mean there just isn't much of one so I'm wondering if the -NAO is red herring this time.  It'll be interesting to see if a west-based NAO might gather/emergence in time. 

But the reason I am not totally sold on the GFS's D12 570 dm thickness to ALB ... is because the PNA is positive out there, and that is actually situated with the outward mode of the open Pacific Basin - the strong phase 8 MJO wave with a weaker gradient/ lower velocity hemisphere might make the MJO forcing transmit it's signal more into the westerlies for an early May butt boning ...  It wouldn't be snow...just aggravatingly unsummer - lol ... half kidding..  But I also think that any returning chillier regime wouldn't come with the same appeal after D10 ...because the cold sourcing is really moderating significantly as super mean.

We have a mini split AC, and so a flip of a switch as well. It's nice. In fact, we have units installed on the walls in 5 rooms.

How has that worked out for you...you like it? We are debating between central air and mini split for our big renovation project this fall. The mini split is basically half the cost of central so we could use those savings for another area of the reno.
