Just because you haven’t had much troughing doesn’t mean we haven’t had our share of ridging too. It’s not always a perfectly inverse relationship, obviously. Especially as wavelengths change throughout the year.
As I’m sure you know, there are many ways you could keep a generally troughy pattern out there mid month without an amplified ridge sitting squarely over the I-5 corridor the whole time. The fact that it had to be one or the other is a false dilemma.
After fighting 2 World Wars over hate (among other uncivil behavior), you’d think we would all realize it is a non productive strategy.
I did research on a book some 5+ years ago and learned that approx. 71 million people died in the war…just the 2nd World War. Not the build up to it.
I cannot wrap my mind around that. 7 million (10% of the total) were Jews that perished in WW2 and that’s beyond me as well.
Astounding and mind numbing numbers.
Try imaging that many people. .
I cannot. Hate is not a strategy
I’m sure the duration will be shortened. Haven’t been able to hold a western ridge beyond 1 week all year.
The CCKW has already trended faster across guidance, it probably won’t be long until the reversion to the default pattern shows up in the clown range.
