Remember when models showed the Arctic air going to CA instead of TX? The models are trying really hard to get an SSW going. We'll have to see if it happens or not.

Chewbacca Defense Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Had a comical conversation with a colleague down in the LA area this morning. The freeway reader boards were telling people to stay off the roads (I think the timing was 4pm today to 4pm tomorrow) because the were expecting 1/2" of rain. I laughed and said "that's just a Tuesday for us." My manager lives in Orange county and said he was coming home from San Diego during one of the recent big rain events, and being from the Midwest is used to heavy rain. He was trucking along at a respectable speed and said there were a lot of people driving down the freeway going 35-40 with their hazards on. Yeah, I know, that's a lot for them, but still. On the flip side, I was talking to my Sales guy who lives on the west side of Minneapolis late last week, and he was having to take Friday off to deal with all the snow they had. He had run his snowblower 5 times between Wednesday and Thursday, had 5+ft tall snow berms around his house, and needed to get the snow off his roof to minimize the risk of ice dams. Its been a rather breezy but otherwise boring couple of days up here in my neck of the woods. I haven't kept up on the forum, from the skimming I have done am I seeing that February is going to happen? I think I'm supposed to go to LA for a sales meeting in Feb....Does Tim have any trips planned to Hawaii or Arizona during that time? If so, I would say we can lock it in boys and girls! 1 1 Quote Britton Rd Bellingham Weather Station: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KWABELLI103?cm_ven=localwx_pwsdash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if everything shut down for rain up here lol It has been a while since parts of Socal have received a soaking like this. This does happen on occasion, but in this case it is much-needed due to the drought conditions that have plagued the region off and on over the past decade, even though it has been a little too much in a very short time. Hopefully we continue to get storms for the rest of the season, but it would be nice to get some with lower snow levels so the mountain snowpack can be built up. I will admit that this pattern has been feeling very El Nino-like recently, despite still being in a La Nina, albeit a weakening one, and I have noticed that was mentioned on here recently as well.

joelgombiner Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Today in Santa Barbara, scenes of dumpsters floating down the street. Memeable, but also a terrible disaster for some people. They are seeing record flood stages on some rivers, and there are severe mudslides occurring in steep, burned mountain slopes, some of which have received over 10 inches of rain. They are issuing mandatory evacuation orders for many areas due to the imminent mudslide danger. 2 2 Quote Useful weather links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
