More mixing by the foothills id imagine. The bump at PDX was unexpected because they never went above 48 on the 5 minute obs.

Yeah we never caught a breeze but DP’s tanked pretty hard just up the hill.

I'd be busy fishing! I think.... Unless that's a sewage treatment pond. I heard they have some big 'brown' trout. Yeah bad Dad joke. Real bad!

00z GFS in 2 hours 39 minutes

The water in that pond is actually better than most of the stuff I’m trying to treat. Don’t think there’s any fish though!

48/31 here today.

Maybe a 60-burger for Tiger this weekend?

I love the downvotes.  He implied something that is way off.  Good for him for being the cool kid that implies alcohol.  Woo hoo, he is a brain surgeon.

 

Meanwhile, I came to talk about weather but apparently having 50K posts or in and around there makes you some sort of god.  Noted.

What is your deal? You’ve been on one for the past couple weeks with these weird rants. 

[MossMan]

Well alrighty then…

Anyhow, it’s already down to 34!

Seems to be a theme with him before he inevitably gets banned…Then comes back under yet another name.

I know your responses before you even make them.  This forum would be a lot better if, once in a while, a few certain people understood that they aren't as smart as they think they are.  Your law degree means about as much to me as doggy-doo on the bottom of my shoe.

Sh*t, dude. I just love Tim and Eric.

I made a post about the weather sucking and he implied Vodka.  What's my deal?  I think you should redirect this post towards someone else.  He isn't smarter than anyone else on here so quit defending him like he is some weather god. 

It was just a joke he was making…the fact you’re taking such offense to it is pretty telling though

Bold of you to assume the Niña did any of the summer schenanigans.

Well the Hadley Cell is typically broader during La Niña. So that in conjunction with the observed multidecadal widening may have tipped the scale. In which case El Niño may actually be the new conduit to a cool/wet summer. Especially if it’s east based with a +SPMM.

Though interestingly enough, the low pass Hadley Cell structure looks *much* better this year so far. I don’t think the 4CH will be nearly as dominant this year.

Wednesday evening update! At this point at the coast, we were seeing strong westerly winds with dew points in the teens. Unheard of. I also had absolutely no plans at this time of attending law school…

Neither that post, nor the one you made immediately before it, were about the weather.

Pot, kettle, black.

What are you seeing/looking at that supports this? Not disagreeing - would just love to see the work behind that as a curious bystander.

You quoted yourself…Again. Does your brother need to do another intervention?

I see your popcorn Jesse, and I call a father watching his 2 year old daughter.

Nothing is ever as nefarious as those on the internet would believe.  God bless you all and I hope you can see through your computer colored glasses.  

Making jokes is fun.  Maybe I should charge for this.

I definitely don’t see you as a two year old daughter.

The weather sucks right now.  Talking about it will just make you all depressed.  Adding some levity to the situation.

Combination of teleconnections/seasonality, and my own hypothesizing. I’ll bookmark this post to reply in detail later, I desperately need sleep.

Lawyers run in my family for three generations. My dad, grandpa, and my great grandpa were all lawyers first, fathers second. I proudly told my dad I wanted to go to law school after undergrad finished and expected a full-throated/teary-eyed statement of support....."no"

thus ended my prospects of becoming a lawyer. thank god!

I think you channeled some of that creativity into your gif game. Seriously some of the most brilliant gif responses I’ve ever seen on the internet from you here.

Did everyone notice those wonderful sun angles today?

Fantastic.

I never noticed the center of the PV was over Quebec when that thing hit.  That is truly amazing.  What a beast!

Instead of escalating, how about de-escalating?

I think we get a huge storm before this freshly minted month is over.  I was thinking a V-day storm was on the table a week ago but I'm thinking the 20th-28th timeframe is on the table for sure.

Just messin around nothings that serious here

Looks like tonight will be the last cold night in this sequence.  It's been a nice run.

47/29 here today.

On this day 86 years ago Salem had a 41/23 day with 25" of snow.

That whole evolution was beastly and bulging (in a blue leisure suit). Woulda been fun to watch today’s smarty pants bucket of models and 10,000 ensemble members try to resolve such a flash grenade of a pattern change. Almost every fiber of climo knowledge would have suggested that complex would dump into the GOA.

So it caught everyone here by surprise then?

There was very little lead time. From what I gather the consensus was for a SW flow pattern but then by Monday afternoon they were starting to sound alarms about it.

For claiming to be such a renegade badass you sure seem to have mighty thin skin.

Like I stated earlier, I don't care.  But when the jokes from years ago are rehashed it gets lame.

You guys can do better.

 

At this point it's a near certainty that literally every comment made on here is some variation of 3000 other comments made before it.

Many of us are soon to be pushing 18 years posting together. We're almost legal!!

I was reading about the show a couple weeks ago and for some reason this really bothered me.   I wanted it to be totally genuine and in the U.P.

The show becomes even more endearing when you learn that it’s mostly filmed in the Milwaukee area. The diner in that breakfast episode is actually Copper Kitchen on Howell Ave, and the restaurant that Joe goes to with his nana for their weekly Friday fish fry is in reality Alioto’s in Wauwatosa.

What'd you get.  I had 12" in Tanasbourne.  I think Kayla was in the West Hills and got close to 18".  I know it has been talked about ad nauseum, but still one of the greatest nights I had in the valley.

Such an amazing event. Had about 12-13" here as well.
