Snowing light to mod here now everything whitening up

[weatherwiz]

Well that was fun while it lasted. Saw something out of the corner of my eye and looked and it was snow lol. Just enough for a little bit to stick to the grass, not much though. Down to a very light flurry now

Picking back up, moderate snow now.
Might break 1”

What the hell is going on here?

Snow falling! 31F, yes it will be short lived, and probably my last time till 26-27 begins, it will be missed!

[HIPPYVALLEY]

I just realized this gets me to 60” for the year!

The Super Nino fanboys say you won’t see snow again until 27-28.

Super Duper El Nino?

I wouldn't be so sure.

The (not so) sci-fi version of this El Nino...

It will rise to historic proportions, but ... no one saw the bigger issue coming - though in retrospect, really should have. Why? because it already happened once, in 2023.  The whole planet surged, by almost .4 C spanning a 2.5 month period that spring, brining the planet perilously close to the theorized threshold of +1.5 C  over the IR.   Only this time ... by a whole degree C       Such that not only are we at 2.5 over the Industrial Revolution entry mean, it is so crazy warm that relative ONI renders almost meaningless outside of the immediate tropical atmosphere.  Vaguely coupling to the mid latitude pattern ( meaning weakly correlating)   

It's going to be the first panic year of this ongoing CC explosion, which just moves slower than human perception - geologically?   It's detonating.  

0 summer ice in 5 years.

Panic lol what a doomer

Remember the epic fails over the years during the spring barrier. I remember very well some not so much. 

[CoastalWx]

Strong is a lock I think.

[dendrite]

That banding looks interesting for a bit later. 

[weatherwiz]

I think a strong EL Nino has some pretty high odds, you have some anomalously warm subsurface sea temperatures in the equatorial PAC and have already significantly weakened the easterlies with some impressive WWBs as of late. We shall see what happens though over the next 6-8 weeks but if the ongoing trends continue through these next 6-8 weeks I think we are definitely headed towards a strong EL Nino.
