  1. Ahh Cape D! When I first started taking wave pictures there, I'd be the only one...now there is a row of photographers! This one worked best in black and white.

  2. I really wish we could have some get-together or zoom call or something so that we could understand one another’s personalities better.

  3. I still find it interesting how nice quality the webcams are in Alaska, but on a pass that sees hundreds (or thousands?) of cars a day looks like it does...

  4. Today the sun will rise at 12:54 in Barrow (Utqiagvik), Alaska and sets just 34 minutes later. It will be the last time the town sees the sun until January 22nd, 2021. Another interesting fact, the sun would not be visible above the horizon, but refraction from the earth's atmosphere bends the light so it is able to be seen. The sun never make it past -0.2 degrees BELOW the horizon. So, when you think it's dark and gloomy here...remember this

  6. I can say I've never trolled. I don't find the reason, purpose, or any enjoyment in doing so. I think it can be done sarcastically as long as both parties realize that. I try also to never be condescending. I do try to bullshit as much as possible. 00z NAM in 1 hour 50 minutes

  9. After reviewing all 12z models and ensembles particularly from a 500mb standpoint I have to wonder if the Aleutian vortex/low is trying to set up. I see hints of it on the EPS, GEFS. If so, drier, bit warmer, inversions are coming. I personally(others may not) really hope to see the next few runs move away from that solution and back to a classic Nina pattern. C'MON!!! 00z GFS in 3 hours 52 minutes 00z ECMWF in 6 hours 7 minutes Think Cold and SNOW! C'MON!!!!

  13. Purely amateur opinion here, but I don't think the PV will be nearly as record smashing or influential as the 75-76 season. That was almost freakish. You could probably find a million reasons to tell me how wrong I am for that, though. I'm sure that up in our neck of the woods we'll at least find a way to squeak in some kind of significant arctic influence before this winter is all set and done, especially given that earlier in the month when the PV wasn't nearly as oppressive, the atmosphere produced favorable blocking patterns ad nauseum. Just needs some more wiggle room. It will come.

  14. I quite like Jesse— he’s always been polite and kind towards me on here. Even when I was an, ahem, more abrasive poster.

  15. Definitely feels like November today. Unsettled, cool weather with occasional hail and downpours. It's dumping in the mountains. The timing is now right. Bring on winter.

  16. Some serious downpours throughout the day. Drove through a blinding one on hwy 26 just outside Beaverton. Been an off and on white knuckle drive today.

  19. I forgot to mention the latest IRI-Multi Model Ensemble forecast came out with its new season run last week. Needless to say, it continues to trend cooler for the Winter. It def cooled more out in the Plains/MW states and our friend down in OK. For Jan-Mar...love to see this look continue...

  20. Yeah, I drove to Minnesota the weekend before last (after 4 straight days in the 70s) and there were dead smashed bugs on my windshield when I got back. Hard to believe they're in Spring mode.

  22. Good morning from the warmest region in the nation! Could we do it again today...3-peat??? Models are suggesting another 90F day today for the PHX metro which would set 2 new records. I think we do it as each day of this week we surpassed our predicted highs by a couple of degrees. Meantime, the 00z EPS continues to trend S with the late weekend system...looks like it will be mostly a rainer for most of you in the MW/GL's... On the flip side, looking ahead towards Thanksgiving week, could there be a Thanksgiving winter storm brewing for the MW/GL's??? I'm seeing very interesting trends off the models as both the EPS/GEFS are picking up on more blocking across Canada...the good Ol' Hudson Bay block...

  24. The GFS has quickly trended toward a much stronger Tuesday/Wednesday system tracking across the region. It is mostly rain, though.

  26. lurk here mainly fall and winter when the weather is interesting. i like jesse because he calls out the guy who always posts dry maps and says, "what? i posted a map showing snow last week? what?" . side note - haven't seen that guy much, so we're probably in for an interesting winter. lol

  29. Jesses a good guy. Occasionally not very often he can get a bit carried away but most of the time his comments are meant to be funny and not insulting. Kind of blew up on Jesse about a month ago but came to realize his comment wasn’t meant to be rude...I can understand people thinking his comments are intended to be rude and it’s hard to tell online what people mean. I don’t think his comments he made today were meant in an abrasive way either. Like I said jesses alright.

  34. Midnight high of 50 today, with a daytime high of 48. Heavy showers this afternoon and even a few rumbles of thunder. I average one thunder day in November about every other year.

  35. #2020 wx. Noticed a couple of ponds in the area still had decent ice coverage mid-afternoon despite 46F and sunshine. Came home and was working in my yard and noticed a couple dandelions in bloom.

  36. I was just posting this as well...you've already posted the text but I'm adding the map. Don't think I've ever seen a fire warning before...at least not on my area forecast map. Thought others might find this interesting.

  37. That picture was taken this afternoon. Snapdragons don’t mind the occasional light freeze. It has been cooler than average and fairly active overall. We just happen to live in a pretty mild climate.

  38. It is quite moist out and very much noticeably cooler than yesterday. There's some lightning to the NE of here. Maybe a clap or two of thunder will happen at some point today. Great for the mountains.

  39. 18/12z ICON still brings the juice (GEPS is decent too fwiw) so maybe others will stop the S trend and come back a little. Iiuc, it has to do with if/when exactly a wave forms on the front. We've had this same scenario a couple times this year and it's trended better "last minute" so I'll have to allow for that potential I suppose.

  40. Just took my garbage out to the curb and saw a BEE flying around the dead flowers of an old Aster bush in our front yard. 59.7 degrees already this morning. And it's NOVEMBER 18th. Unbelievable!

  41. Great stuff. Don't really want/need arctic blasts at this point, just need the bolded. Current snow shield to the north may take a hit with this warm ridge again, but I like the trend this autumn of the storms covering areas in W Ontario regularly. Should aid cold air to feed down here.

  42. My office thinks we have a shot at flakes with this weekend's system somewhere in the region but then go on to say it will trend S and whiff us, lol. They mention the holiday event next week as well. That EPS qpf swath looks sweet! Are we finally seeing the winter pattern?? Yesterday I touted 98-99 analog, but kinda forgot our No. 1 analog of 07-08. These next 2 systems remind me of that winter when warmth surrounded perfectly timed cold connections to produce a very storm-filled winter. Let's see how this next 10 days plays out. Starting to get interesting here..

  43. IMO, I would no count on seeing any real arctic blasts like we saw in the 1st cycle roll through during the 1st half of Dec. While the LRC will cycle through, unfortunately we will have unfavorable teleconnections. There will be, however, key blocks setting up that can produce winter storms.

  44. As with most hits (and this went to #3) there's been multiple "releases" on various albums, but the original was released as a single since it was inspired by the tragic event and most likely produced between his planned album projects. I have several versions but the original single is by far the best. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Spotify actually offered it so ofc, I had to include it on one of my regular play lists. While a common theme 100 years prior during the era of sail, I still find it amazing that a "shipwreck song" based on real life events was a chart topper in the modern era against all the pop culture of it's day. As a native Great Laker, I consider it the anthem of my home region on this vast globe.
