MossMan Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Any offers on the house yet?Sounds like two different ones might be coming in. Worked like a mad man on the yard in between the open houses this weekend, it’s almost back into shape except I need to finish taking the large Willow down that got nuked by the snow.

bainbridgekid Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I hope he does not mind. I did not show his post here... just that he loved the sunny and warm weather which is like almost everyone else living around here. And he posted pics of him hiking with Bryant and Brennan last week. I don't mind at all. Today was gorgeous and I went for my first outdoor run in months. Like you said, I love cold and snow about as much as any marginally sane person possibly could, but that doesn't preclude me from loving this weather too.

Very possible record low scenario if it verifies. The EPS is going to blend different ULL positions on its many members and end up looking like a solid, single deep trough. I am convinced now after 3 weeks of listening to people praising the GFS in the long range with its consolidated cold... that it just does not handle seasonal transitions well. Because the ECMWF has been ULL happy since late February when we were still Hawaii and there has been nothing to prove it wrong.

Ultimately both have trended toward a compromise from what I can tell. That might be true normally... but does not seem like it recently. Since the night when I was in Hawaii pointing out that the ECMWF did not show another arctic blast as was going with a ULL scenario in the long range (that was the night of 2/21) its pretty much been the same. The ECMWF has been showing a ULL scenario for the next 10 days on almost every run... while the GFS usually goes consolidated and much colder. The GFS has been over-aggressive for the last 3 weeks. The ECMWF has generally just struggled with placement of ULLs.

There were Euro runs hinting at it as well. Then of course the GFS completely lead the way with the cold pattern the last half of February. From what I can tell, for the last 7-10 days, the Euro has been overly aggressive with cutting things off and the GFS has been too consolidated. Eventually they meet in the middle.

The EPS led the way in February. I was posting really cold EPS maps for 2 weeks before the cold started. I had no doubt it was coming based on the EPS alone which was so consistently cold. There were also several celebrated GFS runs in early March showing arctic air lowland snow for this past weekend and into this week. The ECMWF never really wavered from its ULL scenario.

weather girl Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Really is an amazing psychological phenomenon, at least for me. I love the later sunsets..it puts me in a much better mood for some reason. It’s one of the few things I love about summer. Nothing like walking around outside at 9pm in broad daylight. For me, it's summer mornings. They are so clear and quiet, and it's just warm enough to be outside and be comfortable. And I love the sound of sprinklers. Summers are almost perfect in the PNW. Thankfully, we don't deal with humidity out here the way you guys do on the east coast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
