Maybe we can get 4 straight months of troughing like we have had with ridging?!

That already happed this spring.

Remind which 4 months those were? March was warmer and drier than normal and June was warmer than normal. 

[Skagit Weather]

Dropped to 40F here. Might have to bring in the habanero soon...

[Chewbacca Defense]

Got down to 41 this morning.

 

I can't take a picture of my feet because my office is too dark, so this picture of me sitting in a chair will have to do. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

So I took a pic in senator Merkeley’s office... 

[The Blob]

Got down to 48.

[MossMan]

43.

It looks like my grandmother is going to pass today. She fell & broke her hip/shoulder over the weekend, and never really recovered from the anesthesia post-surgery. Am really appreciating the value of family and human life today.

Was more like a month of cold troughing followed by a month of strong zonal flow.

Very sorry to hear Phil. You and your family are in my prayers today and if worst comes to worst, may she rest easy.

I’d argue those aren’t the true criteria of ridging vs troughing, but if those are ones you’d like to use - March was wetter and cooler than average at KSEA and June was cooler and right about average for rainfall.

Sorry to hear that Phil, you guys are in my thoughts, and if it is her time, I hope that it is quick and peaceful. 

 

Life is definitely not something to take for granted.  My wife's family is going through a difficult time as well, their ranch manager (worked for the family 30-40 years) lost his son in a car accident over the weekend.  The only solace is that it sounds like he was killed instantly.

I never met the son, but I know the ranch manager pretty well from our trips out there.  Very typical Montana cowboy in his late 50's-early 60s:  Lots of groans and creaks when he stands up from too many hours in the saddle and a few too many rodeos, but he will give you the shirt off his back if you need it.  He is always the first to respond when another rancher in the valley puts out a call for help.

I understand about the criteria. I don’t have historical 500mb anomaly maps to use though.

By the time the ridge is kicked out of here late next week, in the past 4 months we will have had: 83 out of the last 88 days warmer than normal, the hottest week ever, the hottest month ever, the hottest September ever, the hottest October ever, the most anomalously warm month ever (maybe), the driest astronomical summer ever, the longest 70+ streak ever, the longest 50+ streak ever, and <.50’’ of precipitation.
 

This spring was not even remotely close to being the cool/wet equivalent of this summer and early autumn. The warmth this month alone is so many standard deviations from normal that the cold equivalent is unimaginable.

My condolences. Something similar happened to my mother this summer (she refused surgery, fearing, likely correctly, that at her age and in her general overall condition, she would never recover from it).

Sorry to hear that. On the other hand, two of my grandparents passed away in 2008…
