    Well, thanks. I'm all for animal cruelty, but once that horse is clobbered to death, I've had enough fun.

    *sigh* So what you're saying is that if a month has torchy periods, no matter what else happens to affect the monthly average, that makes it a torchy month?

    For a real life example, Jan 2014 was +.6 above normal at OLM. Feb was -2.7. Put them together, and Jan/Feb 2014 was a pretty cold period! Almost non-stop!

    We've both already addressed every point. There's nothing new. The horse is indeed quite deceased.

    He has wet dreams about high website traffic, though. We're probably at a 4 day peak right now, so there's that.

    You're almost there...

    OLM hasn't had a top 5 warm February since 1992. #sodue

    When there's a lack of interesting weather/observations, the forum tends to either be dead or have mostly banter. You're not crazy. Just Canadian. I'm sorry, I'm sorry...it's really hard for me to resist. I love Canadians.

    Why? There were a couple mods on here earlier, I think one semi-insulting post got deleted. Other than that, it's been mostly just lively discussion and silliness. Sometimes I wonder if some of you take what goes on here a lot more seriously than it's meant. I mean, global warming IS pretty darn serious, but doesn't mean we can't joke about it or death ridges.

    Good lord, you're really itching for something, aren't you? Looks like 5/12 months in 2013 were below normal. That's almost half. The greatest monthly anomaly was -3.3 in January. The yearly anomaly was -.03. Can't get much closer to normal than that. Once again, thank you for using the greatest station known to man. 2014 was certainly torchy!

    Yeah, there's no doubt that ridginess has dominated since Jan 2013. The main difference was that in 2013, the ridginess was centered more offshore, allowing cool air masses more often to slip down on the east side of the ridging...while in 2014, the ridging tended to be more directly over the west coast, as your map shows. Both are dry patterns for CA.

    I suggest you make your signature: "I don't agree with Front Ranger." You'll never have to update it!

    Future generations looking at SLE numbers won't understand just how hard global warming was hitting right now.
  14. Front Ranger
    2014 was certainly a torchy year.
  15. Front Ranger
    It was a calendar year. It's made up of averages. I didn't decide to cherry pick the starting point of January and the end point of December. Though there were torches to be found in 2013, there were obviously cold periods that offset them. I think you're being just a bit nitpicky here. Let's just build on our agreement that "map don't lie" and see if we can't smoke some peace pipe.

    You're the one who just said me choosing to show the first year of "two years of non-stop torching" was arbitrary. Let's not play this game.
  17. Front Ranger
    For the sake of accuracy...you said "non-stop torching". Before that, "the last couple years of near constant record breaking above average temps."
  18. Front Ranger
    You might be a lawyer?
  19. Front Ranger
    Print this out and put it up on your wall. It shall give you hope and sustain you through the even the torchiest of Januaries.
  20. Front Ranger
    Ok, and it's not entirely unfair to point out that as a whole, 2013 was quite close to normal for the PNW. Fair enough?
  21. Front Ranger
    Careful...certain posters...may not be amused.
  22. Front Ranger
    Sounds like some sort of agenda or schtick to me...
  23. Front Ranger
    The map disagrees with you. It's weird that you're trying to argue with a map.
  24. Front Ranger
    Purely coincidence. The fact that this was also a period dominated by local warm anomalies had zero influence on his sudden enlightenment. Again, I will bear the blame for this. Not only did my absence allow the PDO to reverse its course and go full blown positive, it also allowed Jesse to be converted to Globalwarminism, as he was without my words of wisdom and rationality for too long.
  25. Front Ranger
    Hmm. Well, maybe you should have brought it up in December. But yeah....you pretty much did point to recent warm anomalies in a certain month, in a certain region, to support global warming. I think you can see why dewey and I don't agree with you there. Do you think it's the main factor for the warmth this month? Honest question.
