It was definitely a wet month. I remember it vividly.
-
Reminds me of when several of us pooled our money and had our roommate jump in the pool at our apartment complex during the January 1998 event. That was a cold pool but he made $20. Pays to be a drunk, kids!

Pretty subjective analysis. Sunday's rogue little goofball aside, things have quieted down considerably since just after Jesus's birthday. Split flow with more to come and a general +PNA configuration. I'm just wondering what people are hanging these altered expectations on? Makes me wonder how people would be approaching things if it were a strong nina and the pattern flip were reversed...

Is this nino really acting all that strangely?
-
At that point it's just a matter of sensationalizing climo. Everyone knows our window for the extremes ends fairly early in February, so taking a stab in early January during a strong nino is probably as educated as you can get given we're right about the point where most ninos tend to get pretty sleepy around these parts. He would have been better off just highlighting that, but again, I don't really follow the guy other than what people post here about him. I don't know his tendencies aside from the blob.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if we got some rain on the 15th of this month. Wouldn't be the first mid January with measurable precipitation and it's just been one of those years where anything is possible. Have to keep a close eye on it.

Well , now you got me doubting myself... Point is, January is pretty much half over.

Today is January 4th.

I suspect there's maybe a little weenieness deep down in Cliff Mass that contributed to his comments. Anything's possible from a guy who was so in love with the blob. It was a dumb comment, but rooted somewhat in practicality given the "stick a fork in winter" reference generally refers to weather phenomenon which is a less than 10% of the time kind of proposition.

You have to admit, most of this is psychological.

It's you against the world, kiddo. I think it comes down to the fact summer is more of an afterthought. People may toy with the idea of 90 degree days dwindling or disappearing later in summer but summerlike weather is just an uncomfortable fact of life well into meteorological fall the vast majority of years. On the other hand, winter is held in a much more anxious regard, full of more/less irrational proclamations by all kinds of people. Most of them tend to be irrationally positive, which is always more paletable but occasionally a negative one has to be digested. Both are typically wrong, or just end up right by chance.

Comes down to irrational perceptions of what typical winterlike weather in the PNW actually is.

Good lord... Is it ever gonna stop raining???
-
Should be mentioned the WRF's issue with the system was more with the timing of precip. It handled the warm nose and such pretty well. The element the models struggled with overall was the frontogenesis this morning which gave us the "surprise" snow.

Did you boycott the assured blowout disaster today?
