snow_wizard Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 And now of course the 00Z GFS goes all wonky on us... I would say the chances are 30% or 40% the block will set up in such a way as to introduce some notably chilly continental air. I don't like how many runs dig the trough is an unfavorable way.

Phil Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 101 days until the days start getting shorter. Winter is coming!Thanks for souring my mood. I haven't seen a 60 degree high in almost half a year, so can it. I don't think spring is ever gonna get here. Only 4 degrees outside with blowing snow. I've had it. F**k me. F**k everything.

TT-SEA Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Not seeing any chilly troughing on the 12Z ECMWF after the system on Monday morning. And that has become the opposite of a dry, quick-moving clipper. It is now a slow-moving slog of heavy rain. In fact... it sort of looks like we take a break during next week like we had this week and then go back to mild and wet again next weekend. SEA is going to make a good run at the wettest March in history. The 2-3 day breaks in between rainy periods makes it much more tolerable though. But It would be nice if we could get a break on a weekend.

Dan the Weatherman Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Thanks for souring my mood. I haven't seen a 60 degree high in almost half a year, so can it. I don't think spring is ever gonna get here. Only 4 degrees outside with blowing snow. I've had it. F**k me. F**k everything.This winter has been pretty much a one-sided affair with almost all the cold and stormy weather in the east and nothing but warm in dry in Socal and the Desert Southwest . It's time for a change to a milder pattern back east and a series of storms to hit the west coast affecting all of CA as opposed to just extreme northern CA and the PNW! We need some relief from this bad drought that has set up over the last 2-3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the sun was at low angles it made the green stand out that much more! Last Spring was the greenest Spring we have actually ever had after the May and June rainy period.

richard mann Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 -Where did all the professional mets go? I liked reading their posts ... . A better question might be, .. What's here—whether where looking at the broader forum, or more narrowly at this main sub-forum—that might interest them. ? Per my appreciation of their input / participation here, since the new switch-over, there's been one actual "met", that on occasional drops up something more noteworthy in line with his broader preview of things going on, either whether or both, more meteorological or more climatological. This with—as you've suggested—a steady decrease in posts submitted by mets, set against the appearance more initially, that more might perhaps join in to different discussions. — But, with expanding somewhat on my main question here above, and where considering the idea of perhaps hearing a more "professional" perspective on whatever, whenever, either whether more meteorological or perhaps more climatological, apart from their initiating an idea, .. What's here, more substantive, for them to comment with respect to. ? .. This question, leaving alone what they might find here that might repel them, otherwise.

Phil Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Another nice day in Redmond and Bothell. High clouds starting to move in and 50º. Something to note as well, today was the last sub 40º solar day until September 28th.Bull. Mets on AmericanWX are numerous and post all season long. If you're at the point of using "summer" as an excuse for the lack of professional participation, you have a problem..so just admit it already. There's a reason for the lack of mets here, but it's clear to me that no one is interested in solving the problem(s), which stem(s) from forum division and unnecessary trolling.

New members that are joining are afraid to post here at the fear of being attacked for their preferences/ideas/etc... I disagree whole-heartedly, with the conclusions more structural arrived at here more initially above: apart from the "trolling" part; as in with considering my own experience, where having run across it I've yet to have found a congruent meaning, certainly definition, for this term where used — as it appears to have been here above leastwise: in conjunction with different [more obscure] online discussion-board or "forum" settings. This, along with solution (?) no. 1 suggested here above, pointed to as a remedy (?) for "the lack of professional participation". — As I in fact appreciate the idea very much, of there being a "new" "California" sub-forum having been established. Beyond these ideas, and respect to solution / remedy, no. 2 here above otherwise, .. and, if with the observation attached to it—apparently meant to point to a condition pervading here—being stated far too generally for my own appreciation, my feeling, being that "Mod-preview" certainly, can be, a useful tool where considering some types of more questionable post submission/s appreciated. .... — Although with all of these ideas above, speaking for myself and if with reflecting certainly somewhat back to what I'd said more initially above where regarding the idea of and interest in more perhaps, having more "meteorological scientists", accredited, whether both join this forum, along with also of course both contribute and discuss different and various ideas here, or with their already being register members here participate more regularly, my own hope, would be more, just that the general discussion here is of a level along with quality of substance, in line with what might interest them.

Even though you are in California, when you posted on the original Western, your success at predictions of cold air and moisture for the entire west coast was second to none. I am sure others will disagree, but you were spot on.
