Denver is like 65-70 for a week lol. Wow.

Stagnant air too. Air Quality alerts for all the weed smoke hanging at ground level?

Yeah that ridge axis kept trending west. Congrats to the central US while we keep getting knifed with shots of cold.

When I was walking out to the car this morning a massive owl flew overhead. Took me a second to realize what it was...thought it was a pterodactyl at first and was about to dive in a bush

Imagine Christmas on the front range eating outside with windows open. Totally normal.

And no real cold following that... sometimes they get those rapid drops

I don't think we see anything white out of Friday's event... maybe a few soggy flakes... but no accumulation

I mean if we keep shutting down climate studies, closing facilities (NCAR) and "burning" climate data, it obviously means it isn't real.....It happens all the time is the new response and will be backed up by the "new" data, complete with black sharpies that of course shows "it's all normal"

But back to current discussion, hope it snows some time around Christmas, otherwise let it warm up so kids can play outside and travel isn't disrupted

Yeah figured I'd bring that up since it was too positive around here. If we are to believe the machines

What do we consider “flash”? Temps will drop midday on, but I doubt most hit freezing until evening. I’d personally call that regular CAA. It’s not like we’re refreezing slush either.

They'll end up getting a 4'er in April.

And at some point that moderates and moves; welcome to January’s weather!

It's getting exhausting and tedious....start to lose intrigue when you just know it isn't going to snow, regardless of what happens. My god.....if this season does it again, this will surpass the 80's-early 90s.

It's a perfect pattern for them...imagine that ridge few hundred miles west, INVO Idaho?

Every run that you loop up there just crushes them one after another.

Is Nick still up there in the Labrador region?

All of those events will be showers followed by inverted "FUs" for us.

I legit am nervous. I know its early, but in the grand scheme of things, we're already assessing how the pattern looks to evolve post Christmas into New Years. If that period ends up sucking then we'll be looking towards mid-January...and so forth. 

I truly believe we need to completely flush out the entire atmosphere...we probably need a good multi year stretch where ENSO is a non factor and then hope we are truly on the -PDO decline. At some point the odds have to return to our favor but the background state is far from it, IMO.

I'll tell you one thing...if I come out of this month in single digits for snowfall, my outlook on the season will absolutely shift. I can only find two cool ENSO seasons since 1950 that did that and ended up sniffing normal, and that is 1966 and 1983, the former was a cool-neutral year.

Ineedweenies can bun it all he wants, but climo is indisputable and it is what it is. It doesn't apply to him, anyway...this is more for eastern Mass.

Despite the -PDO having leveled off, I think its still severely screwing us with shifting the East Asian jet north.
