Exactly. Be done with it.

Why are you in the winter forum if you don't like the snow?

It's a weather forum. Weather is a year round kind of thing. And I do like snow just not in 2 inch and dusting increments.

Well, fresh snow, clear and calm is definitely living up to its potential...went to a gathering around 5, was 20⁰, just walked home and it is already 6.9⁰

I will say that with the darkness and pristine clear skies, you can see seemingly forever tonight.

Let’s see what 2026 can bring. The best part of 2025 weather wise was the gustnado that came within several feet of me back in April. Should watch that video again.

Can't tell you how many national championship games I haven't watched because of this. Not to mention start times.

I always loved college football but I seem to mentally check out after new years. When they were making the BCS championship game on dates like Jan 4th or Jan 5th, they were still close enough for the wait. But now it’s NFL playoffs swallowing up the oxygen by the time they are playing for the national title now. And yeah…I’m sure it makes me sound like an old grouch.

Finished December with a -5 departure and snow cover throughout here in the valley with frequent snows. 

Currently a frigid -6F this evening after last night’s refresher and these well-below normal arctic shots continue with frequency.

Normal is 28/9.  Today is 23/-6 because of a midnight high last night.  Daytime hours never got above 16F.

We get fake cold, fake snow, and fake tornadoes. Ahhh this was fun but was May, not April. I can still feel the adrenaline rush

30s over the interior when many of us are at double digits so far? It’s not like we’re all sitting at 4” like some of these other years. I do worry about the Niña February but we’ll see about the second half of this month. 

I quipped that as “flower February” a couple a months ago. Didn’t lure much of a following for that one haha. sorry-

Not sure if you saw but the MJO desk intimated that the present NINA atmosphere is confined to the tropics … which brings up the question as to how well the hemisphere is actually coupled to the ENSO - or if it’s even sustaining … if so than the NIÑA Feb climo is a fluid assumption … offers a wild card

Best part of 2025 weatherwise for me was the ball dropping last night.
