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.

Ended up with about 16 inches from the storm. With our existing 5-8 inches on the ground, it adds up to... A whole lotta snow. Makes our little neighborhood seem like it should be in the mountains. Ou

I will be very curious to see the extension of this 00z run tomorrow. 

Except of course it will be totally different after day 7 on every run tomorrow.  😀

Reminds me of February 2013.

Yeah, I don't really remember it either.

I had to go back into my picture archives…All I have is we went to the boat show and bought a SUV, and my co-workers at my previous job threw me a “Cheesy” going away party! Which reminds me, I will have been at my current job for a decade on March 1st! My PTO gets bumped to the highest level which I think is like 6 weeks or something…More summer trips to Eastern Washington incoming!!

Yup it’s like a bunch of 2.0 quakes. Totally worthless 

I thought late November through Dec 22 or so was a pretty decent period.

If next month goes well SEA could see measurable snow in Feb as well and that would make four straight months with measurable snow. Wonder how often that happens.

It feels like we are always celebrating and giving out participation trophies to a kid who is really bad in little league.  😀

I think the most likely outcome has always been neutral.    Just because we probably won't have a moderate or strong Nino does not mean we will have a Nina either.    Meeting the Nina threshold later this year is extremely unlikely.    It is slowly fading and already considerably warmer than one year ago. 

One year ago on top and current SSTA map on the bottom:

No. In 2016 my wife went major Dave Ramsey  mode and decided car payments were dumb so we sold that and she challenged me to find her a SUV under $4,500 that was in good shape. I found one…Worked great for a year until electrical issues started plaguing it. She reduced down to mild Dave Ramsey mode and went to smaller payments in 2017…And we still have that vehicle, the 2014 Subaru Outback which has long been paid off. Dave Ramsey would still be quite disappointed in me however. 
 

Currently 35 and not snowing.
