Back in the states and home now. Iceland is a pretty incredible place. We happened to be there during an unusually cold and snowy period as well which added to the climate shock.

30"+ of heavy wet snow is frozen solid this morning. Snow blowing and shoveling is gonna be a work out.

It's safe to assume that PDX can't handle any amount whatsoever of snow and cold, right? Seriously considering changing my flight from the 29th to the 28th if this keeps up. Dgaf about seeing the family, but I'll be heart broken if my flight gets cancelled and I get stuck down in this godforsaken wasteland of a state watching what's happening up there from afar.

This run may actually have the second shot. More troughing to the north.1674950400-ofY5qOIqHQc.png

The base of the block is more robust as well.  Less chance of going wonky on us.

I’m getting back in on the 30th, I’m banking on a break between systems. If PDX got 2-3” it wouldn’t shut them down. I flew out of PDX while it was snowing on 12-14-16 and it was fine.

This could be the first major cold shot in late January this century so far.

I am not sure many people will be telling family and friends about no snow at all and highs in the 30s.   But I get that it's a big deal to some of you.   In this case... there isn't much threat of the 'telling everyone' jinx. ;)

Unless of course the GFS is right and then it's game on!

Snow maps are next to meaningless more than a couple days out. Fun to look at and dream, yeah yeah...

Main takeaway from the Euro was the setup in the realistic range 4-5 days out for a significant cold event looks great. Big improvement.

      More hate-watching for our favorite troll: Outstanding interview. I loved the back and forth with Jon's points about the U.S. being total hypocrites about our stated goals and framed arguments for our actions, and David's simple response is "And so we've got to make a really hard and bad choice, which is, do we want to be the one trying to-- to fill that void with our technology and our principles, understanding that we violate them all the time? Or do we want to let an authoritarian regime go fill that space, which we know how that's going to look?" A simple yet incredibly hard to refute response. We are the most benevolent imperialist power. We f*ck up a lot of stuff around the world, but do you want them to fix things or us? The other interesting point that is pretty obvious is that China will throw as much as it can into catching up to TSMC, whether it is by ingenuity or theft, and as soon as they are, Taiwan is theirs. Will the U.S. go to war over that? Dunno. There's no going back to fix our mistakes, and competition is really heating up around the world. The next few decades are going to be very interesting.

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      Ensembles look a little better for rainfall chances later this week than the operational. Although the trend lately has been for everything to warm up and dry out as it approaches so it wouldn’t surprise me to see this meet the same fate.
