Very difficult to open the ski resorts before about 11/15-11/20 in any year. Unfortunately this ain’t Colorado.

It’s uncommon, but early November does happen from time to time for places like Baker and Crystal. Crystal even soft-opened one year for a single day on October 1.

Stevens and Snoqualmie tend to wait. 

Either way, these forecasts are just projections on a map. We’ll have to see how the forecast plays out first.

We only use mason jars for wine…Very little chance of breakage when dropped lol! 

Hey, I drink from mason jars, too, so I feel free to joke about using them as such. They are cheap, and, like you said, thick enough to resist breaking far better than expensive wine glasses.

I don't really even care about the crazier solutions. We just need some seasonable weather with rain chances.

Spiking the ball is fine on 1-3 down. Fumbling on the other hand is obviously an empty possession.

That’s seems unrealistically low.  Could turn pretty stormy if that verifies

Temps look nice on the 12z GFS

Why is the PNA important? Apparently it tanked in Feb 2021 and brought...absolutely nothing. That winter's coldest temp here was 23F on Oct 26, 2020.

Michael Snyder finds it to be most important pre-curser to launching the setup needed for storm production. It means the Aleutian Low is replaced with an Aleutian High ... He teaches well about it here;

Well f*ck.......my wife had an ultrasound on her neck last Friday and got a call from her nurse first thing this morning saying to get in for a biopsy immediately.  My wife has a close relationship with this nurse and said "you are scaring me" and the nurse said "you need to take this seriously."  My wife works for a cancer center and spends her day going through all lab results and imaging reports for the area looking for indications of cancer in the results, which she passes on to the treatment team.  She pulled up her results and as she put it to me "I am trained to interpret the nuances of these reports, and the verbiage they used to describe my results is not good"

Of course we won't know for sure until the biopsy is performed and we get the results, but it is going to be a long agonizing wait since it will be Friday or Monday before they can get her in. 

She's felt this lump in her neck for several months but has been dragging her feet.  For some reason a husband's nagging is not as effective as a wife's nagging. 

So here is my PSA:  Get your regular check ups and if you find something on your body that doesn't seem right, get it checked out ASAP. 

Sorry for the random off topic post, but I was catching up on the forum when she told me and I don't know...this is kind of a big twisted f*cked up extended family (I mean that in a good way), and things are kind of spinning right now...I needed to vent.

Monday afternoon temps

FWIW the ECMWF calls for 70 inches at Baker by month end.

He's an arrogant prick.

His expertise/knowledge is far overshadowed by his poor personality.

That’s scary! Good thing is that even in the event it’s some form of lymphoma it’s usually very treatable.

We had a similar Situation with my wife when she was pregnant in 2019.  The days pass slowly waiting for your turn at the cancer clinic.  It ended well for us and I hope it does for you as well.

Looks wet to close out Augtober.

I find that really surprising honestly but I’ve only seen his YouTube videos don’t know him. Seems alright to me I haven’t felt like or noticed that he’s a prick. Cliff mass…yeah I used to like him but not so much after the last couple years.

I'm not gonna debate his character, I've interacted with him on social media for over a decade and his attitude, smugness and overall demeanor is garbage.

He may have "changed" but the fact remains that he is a negative personality I will never interact with again, I DGAF what he says or how knowledgeable he may be.

Your attitude is your reputation.

[TacomaWx]

Got down to 49 this morning…58 currently. Still fairly hazy did not miss that when I was out of state…thankfully we should finally be done with the smoke soon.

I can relate to that. I once met Jeff Renner as a kid and he was very rude and arrogant. That is something that is hard to forget especially. A Youtube personality must go to ones head. I just take in the weather info and leave the rest.

On the subject of Michael Snyder, he really thinks the pattern change is coming.

I think this is going to be one of the biggest seasonal flips for Seattle Portland Spokane and environs from a historical perspective, to drop upwards of 40 degrees in a week for highs is Montana-like climate wise.

I'm real sorry to hear about this. I cannot imagine. You will both be in my thoughts and pray it is benign.

My wife worked at Komo TV back in the late 90’s (well before we met) and she said that once in a great while staff from other channels would stop by to grab something or to chat with someone…Anyway she said that several from King 5 had quite a smugness about them when they would come by. She said that Kathy Goertzen, Dan Lewis, and Steve Pool were about as amazing and nice as you could get.

Yup, I interned in the KOMO newsroom from '93 to '96 and the "power four" as I like to call 'em (Dan Lewis, Kathy Goertzen, Steve Pool and Eric Johnson) were genuine, natural personalities that you couldn't possibly hate. (Bruce King was another genuine soul).

I'm still convinced (to this day) that when Kathy Goertzen died, KOMO died with her. Her death is a loss I still can't get over, she was one in a million.

(As an aside), I'm still convinced to this day that Ken Schram was a KING5 mole sent to sabotage KOMO's reputation.

Mentioning KING5, the most arrogant on-air people I've ever had the displeasure of meeting were Jeff Renner, Rich Marriott, Jim Foreman (the rabid and caustic s*** that came out of his mouth on a daily basis), Dennis Bounds and Jean Enerson, (whom apparently was a klepto)

Susan Hutchison from KIRO is a dishonorable mention. 

Needless to say, there is a reason most folks don't tolerate negativity, bullshit and power-hungry attitudes from people.

(As a result, that's why Michael Snyder is someone I will never tolerate nor acknowledge ever again).
