snow piles are getting big at work. they will probably stick around through May this year.

Forgot about this pic I had apparently taken from one of the family photo albums I had been looking through that day…A very frozen Lake Goodwin circa sometime between the late 60’s and early 70’s. Looks like a very cold but dry event as I do not see any snow in the pic.

So…. I figure I’ll just come clean. All the “January” posts over the last 11 months or so were actually a reference to the forum’s big switch to becoming the PNW affiliate for Court TV.

Duuuuuude. You have been over-the-top excited about how frigid its been for the last 2 months. You would think its been like the Yukon in Seattle. Now we have the inevitable offset for a couple weeks and you are being over-the-top negative. In reality its all just small variations in our maritime climate winter. There will likely be more cold and snow coming.

Jim’s meltdown is basically a necessity to deliver the goods later on.

Vortex is going to set up right on top of us!!!! lock it in february MBG woo woooo!! train has left the station

If someone writes you a 1 star review we will gang up as a forum and get you like 50 5 star reviews to counter it!

Yes please!! Big snow on the 18th, then multiple smaller snows through the end of the month with several sub freezing highs. Had snow on the ground until the first part of March.

Bryan kohbergers probably guilty. We’re all DEFINITELY guilty of not starting a thread for this though.

I'll see your Willamette and raise you a Columbia circa 1930.

You know things are bad in terms of weather when the main topic is a serial killer trial and Jim has a meltdown over our pineapple January.

50F degrees here in Everett. Some lights showers during the midmorning and around noon, but over wise, a nice day. Cloudy, with some dark colored clouds towards the Cascades. Live view from moments ago, people are out and about on this Friday afternoon!!!

I'm encouraged that there are honest mechanics like you still out there. All the more reason I'm thrilled you were buried recently. I know it is frustrating. But thank you for your integrity.

12Z ECMWF shows 50+ at SEA on 7 of the next 9 days and its been consistently running too cool. January doing January things.

over in the crime thread just Nancy Drewin' it up

“Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe, how may we help you?” “Yes, I want to speak to one of your attorneys about suing a business that refuses to help me commit insurance fraud.”

4 years ago today, got slaughtered with massive winds. Thankfully trees didn't hit house.

Really hard to get snow with 850s that look like this.

Again... consider that person's perspective at 4 a.m. that morning. She never imagined her roommates were being killed. This was a party house. She might have thought it was one of her roommates hooking up and the guy looked really creepy so better lock her door. She didn't know a mass murder had just been committed. Its only in hindsight that it becomes so sinister and evil.

50-burgers for the foreseeable future on the 06Z ECMWF

As Tom mentioned the Euro Weeklies show a lot of action in late Jan into February. The Control run of the weeklies is lining up with the MJO quite well.

I was pretty stoked I caught this guy mid leap when I was plowing. He ditched his rack a few days later right in front of my dad.

We had 18” of snow last April. I’m not going to ever say a bad word about April 2022.

This is another mind blower. Lake Union in probably 1916.

This would have been cool to experience.

Last week or so of the month is up for grabs.

On the “bright” side, today is the first day I’ve noticed the daylight lingering a bit longer… It IS coming.

not edible. It's an LBM (Little Brown Mushroom). Usually ignored.

There are old mushroom eaters and there are bold mushroom eaters, but….

We just had some reps from the Snohomish Co Sheriff’s department come to our last safety meeting at work to help give our front end staff more tools to deal with angry/disgruntled/threatening/drunk/high people that come through the doors as there has been a definite increase of that over the last year. Also we have noticed more people with zero patience, and a huge sense of entitlement. It’s crazy.

Haha… the pooch was partially named after that Dewey.

Hard to believe that with SLP in northern Arkansas, we're still looking at rain here in Iowa, but I guess that's par for the course so far this winter. Just can't get a significant winter storm to materialize in Iowa so far.

This is probably true. Then again, he has a meltdown every winter, so causality might be tough to establish.

Wasn't the footage of the car the initial thing that connected him to the case? It sounds like they were looking at white Elantras all over Pullman/Moscow. They found his and looked back and saw that he had been pulled over a few months earlier and given his cell number to police. They then found that his cell phone had been pinged at the murder scene a number of different times and went from there.

It explains why he went back to the scene later. Probably realized he had dropped it and tried to find it somewhere. But they have to have something bigger we don’t know about yet that connected him to the case.

Mild sunny morning. You can always count on January to have days that feel like a nice late April type morning.

Can you imagine your response if you knew you were innocent and were framed for a horrific mass murder? This guy has been completely calm since his arrest. Even smiling in court yesterday. I would imagine you or I would be frantic and screaming that we are innocent. This appears to be a game to him. He is detached from reality.

@ClintonThe Euro Weeklies from last night are dialing in on the LRC's more notable storms/active SW Flow late JAN pattern and early FEB. I'm not even going to post the FEB snow maps because they are just freakin' ridiculously snowy. Another Back-Loaded Winter??? For many on here that may be the outcome (including MBY), Yes, but for those up north its going to be #endlesswinter well into Spring. I just really hope that things begin to line up and the models start to digest the teleconnections or mother nature flips the switch on us! @sumweatherdude, was it you or someone else who posted the Euro Weeklies 10mb zonal winds? Anyway, the PV guru @judahcohen says his AI learning machine is showing a SSW event late JAN into FEB and coincides with the Euro Weeklies run last night. I have learned from him that prior to a major disruption, it tends to warm up across the CONUS so we can very well be going through this stretch right now. In similar fashion, the CFSv2 weeklies are in agreement as well that a strong SW Flow pattern evolves...I almost certain that @hawkstwelvewill cash in on another Big Dog later this month and into the MSP region. I originally thought the pattern would press farther south by this time in JAN but that obviously is not happening.

The good news with this torch is the mountains have managed to stay snowy with the offshore flow. Hasn’t been any significant melting at the ski areas in a very long time.

@snow_wizard Jim there is a friend waiting for you up there right now!!

Tim was onboard early on in January 2019! Justin was not onboard, and Jesse hated me as usual…At least some things never change.

If we know the answer to why, then I don't think we have to deal with so many mass murders here in the US. Him using a knife to stab 4 innocent people is no different than a mass shooting. My guess is, the best defense they have is probably insanity. To me he has those crazy eyes man. Only thing more interesting to me with this trial is to find the motives. If I had to guess, he got rejected by one of these women and got pissed. Or the person that he liked has a BF.. he was also killed. We do have a lawyer on this forums, so would love to hear his input if he's willing to share.

This x100!

I have come to expect the grass turning green and the first signs of spring in January... only to buried in snow again in February.

Eyes above ears, something to fear.

I think it has been a month for me since I saw the sun shining. Crazy! just a couple of days ago, I saw a small glimpse of the sun peeking and I literally ran to the window, so that I can capture some vitamin D on me. You must be going nuts after all that sunshine you have encountered back in AZ .

This is so true.

Here is a heat map for ya!

I like it too. Cold air damming doing its magic.
