Those taco appetizers are my favorite of any restaurant besides the blooming onion at outback steakhouse. 

Not technically an appetizer but hard to beat the cheddar biscuits at Red Lobster.

We need something to start showing up in the models. This 44 degree constant light rain day after day is wearing me down. I miss my yard color and sunny warm days…If we are not going to get cold and snow let’s just end it now and get spring going. 
Downvote away! Or fling wieners…

Still some snow piles here but even they are brown or gray.  Probably only a few weeks away from the first flowers of spring 

[Deweydog]

A lot of pre-retrogression meals, guys/gals. Nicely done. Thanks for doing your one thing.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Worm will turn around the 20th this month.

It's amazing how much longer the snow sticks around up there, must be because you're pretty sheltered from southerlies. Our snowfall totals were pretty similar with this event, but there was almost no trace of snow by last weekend.

[Doinko]

But how is the 18z CFS???

There was still a decent snowpack in the shady wooded areas here a few days ago. Though, Our street is pretty open and runs north south so it is one of the first areas to melt out.  The snowbank at the top of my mom’s driveway is still a couple feet high.

Blackened salmon and mushroom rissoto

Pretty meaningless.    We had tons of snow in January in my area as recently as 2020.     Decent chance we have nothing this January.  

Last January had a pretty decent snowfall too. At least up here:

A bit more in January 2020:

And places further south and a few places up here got clobbered in Jan 2017 (not much here though):

At least January is still running ahead of November and March. My stats for March are abysmal, though I'd gladly sacrifice that month for better stuff in December/February.

They said 24 this evening... which is quite balmy there!  

[Phishy Wx]

Tacos and Buffalo wings

[smerfylicious]

Reverse searing some steaks, then sealing with a nice glaze of butter/garlic/Italian parsley

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Not a bad GEFS extended run unfolding as we eat. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

February could feature some chilly NWS flow if the extended ensembles are on to something. 

[The Cats Meow]

Ham and cheese sandwich and a bottle of water.

Times are tough.

[MossMan]

Frozen pizza for dinner!! And it’s windy outside.

Oh yeah... I would totally be down for that too!     Not Matt though.    He would not tolerate it.   

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Wow, fantastic gefs ensemble!

[joelgombiner]

Homemade bread and baked beans from a can .

No SNF in there??

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Some strong showers moving this way. Looks like it might be some thunder and hail.

[joelgombiner]

Look at that rain shadow on the 24 hour precip totals. 2 inches on the SW side of the range and 0 on the NE side - the classic signature of strong SW flow. Do we have any members in Sequim?

Caffeine and anxiety, same as breakfast. Just gave into some evening Pagliacci's for a strange desert.

Costco discontinued those pot pies a while ago.

Pagliacci is the best hands down. And boy have I been feeling the hypertension lately. Probably need to cut back on the booze. Too many hazy’s with officer Tim

[Phishy Wx]

you dudes have the diets of 20 year old college students.

 

I guess I do too with the tacos and chicken wings tonight

[snow_wizard]

The GFS seems to take a shorter path to getting us to below normal temps again.  I would like to see it be right, but the odds are against it I imagine.

Are the pot pies you were talking about yesterday the really big ones?

The ballgames had something to do with that.
