Can the computers stop taking my snow away please? Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Good trends, just really would like to see that lobe push a little more west and gimme some arctic front accumulation

I’m pretty sure that guy wasn’t actually being serious right? 

It's an old pasta, but it checks out. IIRC it was originally about the 2016 election. A classic goof and a gaffe.

I still regret missing December 2021…was in Texas from December 20th-January 3rd. Had a good time but man I was struggling watching that happen from 2000 miles away

I remember you looking up emergency flights

They're coming. Will they reach past the great border? Did they update their passports?

Hopefully the ridge doesn't do this

You get that evil out of here. Ice Age hype only!

Tonight's 00z versus yesterday's 06z, 12z, 18z, the 00z isn't looking much like them

 

 

WOOHOO

Look at that phat Greenland high sitting right on Greenland. That's niiiice.

This is different, significant snow starts quite a bit earlier over the Strait of Georgia, from Monday night all through to Tuesday evening.

That's pretty D**n sexy. How are temps looking for that timeframe? Is this a borderline or phantom snow read?

Arctic trough just needs to nudge a bit to the west at hour 135 or so

If they don’t get rid of ’em within about six weeks, they are doing something wrong.

Yeah, I tried for about a month. Could've put more effort into it if I wasn't working so much OT. Seemed like everything I was doing was ineffective. Desperate times...I guess they come out quarterly to check exterior and interior traps that they'll install for the 2 year timeframe.

My wife family runs a local pest control company. They don't make you sign contracts like this. I don't know if they service that far up on highway 2 tho. I'll ask!

You're too kind to check. I thought it was an okay deal, but I'm not versed at all in the pest control sphere lol

2 years is a long time, but...gotta look out for the health of my kids and wife, and this is a problem that seems to be spiraling out of my ability to fix.

These beautiful runs are being ruined by my wife finding rat sh!t all over our house. 

I just had to call up a bunch of exterminators. Looks like I'm paying $299 for treatment and $79 a month for the next 2 years of quarterly coverage...woo.

How bout some Spire? 

Oh boy can you imagine if we have another moderately accurate model to ride? 

I just got back from my time machine and brought back this video of 246 hours from now, you won't believe it!

If this happens, we might have to retire Juneuary for a few years. This is like...a roided up 08.

Alright that's the one. Book it, verify it, ship it, it's gold

It needs to stop teasing me with low level snow. I need my ice age, for science

Alrighty then.  And this is only 6z.

Last time I saw a temp map like this was the epic of December/January 21/22. Dropped to 6 degrees at my place. I imagine we'd perform roughly the same with this kind of set up as well. I was always sad that my wife didn't get to enjoy that, so maybe we could just lock this in and she can experience some real winter weather in this state for once.

*ahem*

Day 6 (4-run trend)

You’ll rarely lose betting against snow in the PNW. Everyone on here is coming from the understanding that the presumption is always wet but too warm, cold but too dry, or too warm and too dry.

So it just seems odd and weird to swing in with “it’ll be a bust,” “fantasyland nonsense,” “zero chance,” etc, every time there is a slight glimmer of hope and excitement. We know this. Every single person on here knows this.

We aren’t drafting news bulletins for the NWS that’ll be released to the unwashed masses where we have to hedge every statement with “but it’s highly unlikely” so we don’t spark a run on the grocery stores.

It’s a weather forum, focused on the PNW, that one must seek out to read or join. We all know that any forecast more than a few days out is likely to change and even short range models are not perfect.

Let folks have fun. Let folks get excited. I know that in all of our social and familial bubbles we are all the weather experts who feel the need to over explain and be the voice of reason. But that’s not needed here. Not only is it not needed, it comes across as needy.

We all know the drill. The snow or wind storm will almost always bust and the long range cold snap will almost always moderate.

Now that we all agree that’s the foundation we are all working with, let’s get excited about a slight chance for a small amount of lowland snow. Lol.

Excuse me sir, your realism is getting in the way of my coming Ice Age. Now kindly step aside while I post Ron Paul it's happening gifs over and over while waiting for the coming forever frost

Blow Bar living up to its name tonight!

I prefer the GFS solution. I may be in the minority here. I'm sure Randy will be very disappointed in it.
