you think you could never appreciate a 105/83 heat dome and then you get an entire month of this miserable bullshit and it’s like, yeah it was equally unlivable outside but at least every surface wasn’t either salt or ice on top of things

Naw the skiing has been absolutely incredible. Plus layers work well. Can’t exactly be naked when it is 105/83. A certain someone on this board might loc you up…

I've been out xc skiing 3 days this week chasing daylight.  It kinda sucks here with the crust, but it's better than not skiing.

Temp is 11⁰ here now, but we still have the wind.

I’m getting there. Cold and dry fucking sucks. Probably 4 weeks away from our first 60. 6 weeks from first 70. We aren’t far away 

Yep wasted cold without any storms to track is the worst. And this generally looks like a suppressed to hell pattern. Maybe we get lucky with a clipper or two to refresh the snowpack.

GFS with back to back storms out of the gulf at the end of the run, the first one looking like a repeat of this weekend.  Would be nice if one of them turned the corner and made it all the way up.

The northern stream flow has to relax and go more west to east and also the arctic air can't be all the way down to Georgia - these suppress the entire pattern - the models lately have been terrible because of a lack of data ( weather balloons etc out west ) BECAUSE OF CLOSED NWS OFFICES apparently.
