I swear you have more snow pics than a 14 year old girl has IG selfies.

I have an album on my phone called “snow pics” that has 1070 photos/videos. Goes back as early as November 3rd 2017. Probably a lot more than I need but it’s really cool just cataloging events from start to finish.

One of the wonders of the digital age, being able to document everything, all the time.

We spend so much time looking ahead to what might come with this hobby, kinda cool to be able to look back at what's happened over time. I definitely get the appeal.

Don’t you all have at least four thousand pictures of snow on your phone?

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Much better GFS run tonight.  This is starting to come together finally.

How do we know January has been boring? It's the 18th and we haven't even hit 100 pages yet. December had close to 500 pages between the two threads? And November was close to that. 

At least the second half will be better.  I wish we knew why January has had such a hard time this century.  The January problem actually began in 1983.

In the meantime, the coming week will be much chillier than what we have seen so far this month.

Sitting in a hotel room in Barstow, CA (What a craphole). Heading to Flagstaff in the morning by way of Grand Canyon if it reopens after the snows of the past couple days. Looks pretty heavy over there.

Driving my daughter's car out to Missouri where her husband is stationed in the Army. Hoping for no eventful weather on I 40 east of Flagstaff.

45/38 today so far.  At least it's starting to feel like January again.  Should be a number of frosty nights coming up.  Remarkably the GFS only has 0.3" of precip for SEA over the next 10 days.

GEFS looks far better at day 10 than the 12z and 18z.  We'll see where it goes from there.  I think the MJO wave actually being real now is giving the models more to work with.

Well... you do have snow about 1,000 times more frequently than most other lowland locations.

I'm not worried about it with GEFS and EPS improvement.  It gets good at the end anyhow.

Gonna go down as a warm and dry month for the region, despite the gobs of dreary days we've seen. 

Classic Junuary!

The second half will be way better than the first though.  At least it's going to be frosty several days and maybe something real at the very end.

Ft. Leonard Wood? That's where my basic training was.
