I get him being so excited about his snow, but it's kind of like somebody from Maine coming on here and posting about their snow all the time. I know I'm being an azz for saying this, but I'm frustrated. It's just the way it is with this climate. Except in rare cases it's about 30% of the members being the haves and the rest being the have nots. Obviously who the 30% is changes around with various events.

I'm just in a mood.

The stupid clouds moved in here so I'm stuck at 38. Tomorrow night should be widespread cold though.

Very immature Jesse.

I like how people handing out the weenie tags act like they wouldn't be pissy getting shafted for the last month.

I'm just afraid if we go there we will be stuck in it for weeks.

Yay.

As frustrating as it is for me watching the same people getting snow nearly every day I would still choose the current pattern over going into warm rain.

EPS says no.

As weird as it sounds we have just been too far north to cash in on these last few troughs. 850s have gotten cold and all of that, but it just hasn't translated at the surface for cold max temps and snowfall.

That -PDO right now is quite profound.

Pretty lame here today. It actually got up to 49, which is chilly, but not THAT chilly. Hopefully we can at least get some good mins up here.

Those are some of the most amazing Aurora pics I've seen. The scattered clouds made it even better.

I am seriously bummed we didn't get to see that amazing event here due to cloud cover.

Speaking of the Northern Lights...this recent event had an even more rare aspect to it. STEVE was actually visible over WA for a time. Can't remember exactly what the acronym stands for, but it only happens with some Auroras.

That's a two or three times in a lifetime Auroura for this area. I saw one like that around 1980 or so. The only time I've seen colors other than green.

ECMWF is going for possible frost tonight for many places and a likely heavy frost tomorrow night.

Very possible. We have really shanked it on snow in the Puget Sound area since the early part of the winter though.

I think we could keep the party going one more season. We'll have to see what ENSO ends up doing.

I love cold troughs in general.

You never know though. This pattern is locked. We had better pray we don't have a Nino next winter. Very cold springs like this followed by a Nino are toxic. 1982 and 2002 are great examples.

The ECMWF shows several inches of phantom snow for SEA again. Wish I could have a dollar for every inch it has shown here since mid Feb.

Most precip would be south of WA. Troughs don't always mean wet. Look at 1985. constant troughs and it was quite dry much of the year.

Pretty insane. 10 days out and still the same.

If this continues like 1952 it will only get worse for WA. Everything kept going south that year.
