  1. Amazing. Couldn't imagine 34" of snow in a day. What a ride that would be. And I'm assuming the snowfall rates weren't a uniform 1.5"/hr or whatever... What did they peak at?
  2. 2009-10 to them is their 1968-69. 2014-15 was also a banger, especially in February. They have a handful of great winters since the beginning of the century amidst a sea of nonexistent ones. At least we've only had a couple bonafide torches during DJF during that stretch, albeit no all time cold/snowy ones either.
  3. I support the southeast China-fication of the eastern seaboard.
  4. Let's recap why Phil wants us to root against La Niña: -La Niña will prevent La Niña from happening again, so in order to get La Niña we have to root against La Niña. So we can have more La Niña in the future. Makes sense. -La Niña is actually an endothermic process which burns the Earth. I mean the effects of this warming aren't noticeable for centuries but think of how hard he just OWNED you with the Thermodynamics 101 lesson. But don't worry about CO2 emissions, we don't really understand that or something lmao -If next winter is a La Niña he might CRY and that would make us feel bad
  5. The Magnolia in my front yard is undergoing a major bloomout today. It's getting increasingly colorful outside by the hour as the plants wake up. Tomorrow and Sunday will be spectacular and I can't wait. My SAD is improving already. Also loving how hard this is gonna crash next week. More of a typical 'false Spring' situation compared to the initiation of our annual death ridge. That'll have to wait til April!
  6. They did something similar in 2017... I believe they just hug the center of totality and follow its path until the shadow beats them. No they aren't as fast as our rotating planet or its celestial bodies, but planes do have some speed to them. I believe they can add a couple mins if they're accurate and fast enough! Personally I'd rather experience the eclipse on a warm day with the smell of grass in the air surrounded by friends and family. Paying $2500 for a solo window seat crammed in a stuffy metal tube with obnoxious AC whirring into your ear and other passengers fighting for a view while you try to angle your head to see the eclipse because you can't see the moon itself from a comfortable seating position, and who knows the myriad of other potential problems you could think of that you'd likely encounter...yeah, i'm good on the ground.
  7. I did some research into that spot since it's the obvious winner... You need at least a day pass to even enter the park, which they're probably all sold out for the day of the eclipse. Worth a look though. I figure it'll probably be shoulder to shoulder up there which would ruin the vibe for me, so I'll take my chances somewhere else. I might not even be able to see the eclipse this year, which is a drag, but I did end up seeing the 2017 eclipse in Salem, so I do have at least one under my belt to cross off this bucket list item. I also have big plans to see the one in Iceland in 2026. I was planning on visiting there eventually anyways.
  8. Their all time record of -128F was set on my birthday!
  9. I'm hoping everyone here gets the chance to enjoy this very mild upcoming early Spring week. If the warm weather and pertinent sunshine doesn't awaken the whole biosphere, I don't know what will. The middle and lower elevations of the PNW will get a solid head start on the leafout season with this heatwave, perhaps a couple weeks ahead of schedule near sea level and escalating to over a month in some of the foothills. Unsurprisingly on brand for a dying El Niño in a warming climate. I'm gonna be a moderate Mitchell here and claim that highs won't get too far out there. Low 70s in Seattle, upper 70s in the Willamette. Nothing ridiculous like the mid 80s. Afterwards, there seems to be an intriguing push towards a midwinter-esque high latitude retrograde of the ridge. It's certainly possible given the immense magnitude of the initial ridge which will park overhead this week; heights nearly four sigma decameters above the mid march average. And with there being some cold on our side of the pole trapped in the vicinity of northeast Alaska, there may be gas yet left from our 2023-24 season in a very, very high end, out there blocking scenario. Reading some of the great 1800's talk we've been having over these last few days, we do know there's still a dying breath's potential to squeeze out a Salem Slushie Special on some Spring Sunday sometime soon, surely. Sayonara! But hold your thawing horses. Tomorrow and into Tuesday we have more transitive troughing to contend with, maybe bringing some lightning via some of the well timed bands of showers. There'll be more of a westerly component to this next incoming trough, so the Seattle area will probably deal with more Olympic shadowing, and will have to benefit from clear sky daytime heating and other thermal perturbations in the PSCZ to swoop in a squall line. We're in mid March now... could happen. Just the other day we had hail showers under a surprisingly clear sky!
  10. Most of the arguments I've read supporting HOA's are like this... Very extreme examples. This rarely ever happens and if so it's even more rare that a reasonable compromise can't be met with the neighbor, after a polite honest conversation. I bet a lot of "examples" are people simply not trying hard enough to make peace. This is probably the only sound example that I can see supporting HOA's... Though the "when administered correctly" is pulling a lot of weight here. Technically this wouldn't even be an issue if Americans weren't so concerned with silly things such as the continuity of their neighborhood or having to walk half a block to their front door.
  11. I have some very strong opinions on HOA's... I'm curious as to what good you see in them?
  12. Ehhhh I was fine with the 2-4 days of 70ish weather. Extending it to a week would be a little much this early, beyond the extent of our usual Spring warm spell.
  13. Hey @Phil... How's that ENSO transition looking? Any thoughts, any updates? Looking clean or messy thus far?
