Hey Tim.  What's your thoughts for tomorrow's games?  I'm hoping it's Eagles/Bengals personally.

I agree with your predictions.

SF defense is just so good. Hurts is going to have to run a lot for them to win IMO. But I still think the Eagles come out on top.

Really hoping we avoid the chiefs or eagles in the big game.

(Sorry rob) but the only team I hope loses on Sunday is the chiefs. I’m really rooting for the bengals to win it all. I wouldn’t mind seeing SF or Philly win though. Kansas City is basically the new patriots dynasty. I liked them a lot when they won the 2019 season but they’re just always good and I like to see diffrent teams win. They already won their Super Bowl a couple years ago. Let someone else win one!

Down to 31. Winds are picking up here but the Columbia Basin to my west looks to get the highest wind speeds today. Son decided he'd rather play Plants vs Zombies. We're going to the Palouse tomorrow so it will be interesting to see PUW's high tomorrow.

I like it when there are no expectations.  Probably means a huge, regionwide event will happen.

With that logic we’d have region wide events every winter nearly all winter long.

Seems like the wind showed up early.  Wind advisory not supposed to start until 6, but its already cranking at my house and KBLI has already seen a 40 mph gust.  NWS has "gusts as high as 28mph" for this afternoon, and "gusts has high as 29 mph" for tonight.

YWL-BLI is only at -11.2

Either 23/24 or 24/25 will be.

Probably so.  You can't write off next winter until we see if the Nina actually gives out or not.  Even if it does we might just go neutral.

The eastern third of WA has gotten pretty cold.  This thing does have some teeth.

Observation: Day 16 back in the PNW a green substance is growing on the exterior of my body.  I’m not sure but it could be some sort of moss.  Heading up north now to see a specialist.  Randy (aka MossMan)  should be able to identify how much time I have left.

Seems inevitable that we get a big El Nino and the (globally) warmest year in recorded history soon. 

Not region centric, but I’m looking forward to the +ENSO swing. +ENSO following heavy multiyear niñas tend to deliver excellent winters out here **when the IPWP is extending** (which is indirectly paced by solar forcing on a state dependent lag).

1957/58 following 1954/55-56/57.

1976/77/78 following 1973/74-75/76

2002/03 following 1998/99-01/02

2014/15-15/16 following 2010/11-13/14

+ENSO winters outside this portion of the IPWP cycle are much less predictable here. There are great ones like 2009/10 and 1986/87, but also epic fails like 1991/92, 2019/20, 1997/98, etc.

We all know how Waldo likes to hide, but in today's edition, we try to find Mount Baker?  Can you see it?  

Have a superb Saturday all!  Very beautiful partly cloudy day, frigid cool air coming from the north.  Very cold with wind chill, but the actual temp is pretty warm at 44F.  Lot's of

The transition from Nina to Nino typically starts at Nino 1+2 and transitions westward with 3.4 being last to warm.

I'm still not that convinced though.  Strong trade wind burst ongoing, Equatorial subsurface temps lower than this time last year, sky high SOI, tanked MEI, etc, etc.

Fairly impressively Goldendale has already dropped to 32 during the afternoon.  Decent shot of cold air.

Bellingham has plummeted from 47 to 45 in the last hour.

In actuality falling during the day isn't too bad.  They have also exchanged a lot of coldness for drying of the air mass.

GFS ends with blocking again.  Going to be interesting to watch the 10th to 15th period going forward.

I love days like this with the north wind and clearing skies. Especially compared to the gloom we’ve had for the last few days. But it’s a little bit of a letdown compared to what seemed possible a week or so ago.
