That sounds nice. Ended up warmer at my place. Was the humidity out there bad like the NAM so very badly wanted it to be?

Not really.  We had an east wind early in the event which really dried the air out.  If the east wind had been a day later it would have gotten much hotter here.

Wherever we end up we will be happy, like we should be.

Today's my bday and it was nice to have temps in the 70's instead of driving to Lewiston and praying my ice cream cake didn't melt on the 40 min drive home in official 115 record heat last year. Cake survived again :p. Not sharing though.

Happy birfday!

There is only one person preferencing though lol.

The rest of us are just pointing out the chinks in the armor.

There are no chinks... you  don't seem to understand enjoying something different but not wanting it permanently.   Such a simple concept.

Averages are averages no matter how you get there, thats pretty simple as well.  Take the good with the bad or unsavory and move on.  

[snow_wizard]

The May PDO was -2.30.  Collectively the last 6+ months have had the lowest PDO since the 1950s.

An easier way to metaphor this is to reference winter. We all love and want lowlands snow here because it’s rather rare. If we were to have it like the mid-west. I’m sure we’re all be sick of it. Go up to the mountains instead

The old Jesse would have given all these Tim posts downvotes instead of weenies. The dude is mellowing out!

Exactly the way I feel. We have fairly similar weather 9 months of the year. We don’t need more of the same in summer. That’s why I don’t mind heatwaves as long as they’re short lived.

You’d have to say something outlandish like wanting something other than heavy rain on July 4 to earn a downvote from him now!

Thanks! I’d also be challenging them a lot more of them which buries this place in (even more) pages of debate. Just not worth it.

Interesting to note the Nino SST anoms have been peaking in the summer in recent years and we are still negative in Nino 3.4.  Nino 1+2 is running sustained around -2.  Nearly zero chance of warm ENSO for the coming winter.

And ENSO is solidly cooler than it was in 2011 was at this time.

The ongoing trade surge will trigger an upwelling oceanic kelvin wave in July, which will begin the descent back into a moderate (or perhaps strong) La Niña next winter.

Sucks for me, probably another crappy winter out here.

I’ve never seen this many lightning bugs in my life.

Something about the weather must have been favorable for an exceptional emergence. Thousands upon thousands of them lighting up in the trees every second.

Eh I’ve lived in Bend for almost a decade. I never get sick of snow.

Since 2016-17, I've had over a foot more snowfall than DCA.

Looks like my location might have warmed up faster, and the east wind kept things cooler for longer at PDX. It says 92 consecutive hours below freezing, until the 1st of Jan. I don't know when they start the day though, maybe 8 pm is when they took observations at the COOP site? Not sure if I should count it as 15/7 or 12/7.

It's really hard to get a big ice storm on the west side so it must have been one heck of a cold airmass for that to occur. I'm still amazed that winter was a moderate el nino but it did have one of the strongest SSW events in history.

Off Topic:

It would appear we have a bit of a situation with a radio station for our maple syrup loving brothers to the north of the 49th parallel

I just checked and its still going

 

 

Turned into a beautiful afternoon here, currently 63

IIRC y’all kicked our arse during the last El Niño in 2018/19.

And then there’s 1968/69. Haha

Approaching 100F here in Budapest, most days have been over 90F. There was one cool "marine push" kind of evening but it bounced back rapidly. More of a climate difference than I expected in Central Europe. 

Budapest is known as the spa capital of the world, that must be one of them. On Weather Spark it says... "In Budapest, the summers are warm, the winters are very cold and snowy, and it is partly cloudy year round. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 26°F to 81°F and is rarely below 12°F or above 91°F." 

It looks like a nice area to live in. They must be experiencing a heatwave right now. It says on there the most far-away place with a similar temperature profile is Kingwood, West Virginia.

We have a book about a bear who loves the snow and how she loves to build a snowman.

My wife made me a new snow board for measurements as a present since my old one warped in the late snow we had in April which was wetter and kept melting / made the board useless for future season.

Man he really wants El Niño.  

Decent video. I don’t see the signal for any bonafide WPAC MJO/WWB to trigger a downwelling kelvin wave, though. Quite the opposite. But we’re about to find out.

00z has a lot of rain from Everett North Sunday night/Monday but nothing South of Seattle and rebounds temps into the low 70's Monday afternoon. Wouldn't be a bad 4th for Seattle verbatim but cold drizzle isn't far away. Bellingham doesn't get out of the 50's that day.

Incredibly efficient warming for westerly flow at the sfc and thickness values less than 552dm
