Must be referring to post 240 hours

 

Really impressive to see such a strong retrogression signal on both the EPS and GEFS.  The mean trough moves from the Eastern US to Western US in 2 days with an exploding GOA ridge..

Fun!

 

1908-09 was a ridiculously cold winter alright.  The main cold was in January as opposed to February, but it was very cold.

We have a long ways to go, but there is substantial potential ahead and with all 3 model camps agreeing on retrogression of the offshore ridge to develop into an Alaskan Block we can't ask for much more. We may see Operational runs turn much better and colder. Let's see this progression move ahead in timing. Cautiously optimistic. C'MON!!!

Unfortunately it looks like the 00z runs were a mirage. And the prospect of yet another dry month is looking more and more likely.

Definitely a sense of urgency with this thing. We need it to trend in the right direction if we want to avoid a 91-92 or 14-15 type shitfest. Great to have a sense of urgency over something we have no control over. :)

I've seen worse. But 29 years and counting...has to be the longest the S valley has gone without a white Christmas in a long time.

12z ensembles indeed suggest it could be another dry month.

 

Seems like I was about 24 hours ahead of you with this call.

If anything these lend support to our growing 91-92 redux fears.

Yeah, maybe we'll have a wet spring, that can occur sometimes coming out of an El Nino, so if anything perhaps that could be our saving grace. 

 

Once nice thing is that if we can avoid a back to back Nino we should be set up pretty nicely. Some of our best winters have followed some of our all-time duds. 92-93 was an epic winter in the valley, 03-04 was pretty good, 16-17 followed back to back +ENSO duds.

      I heard Trump unleash a stream of consciousness RANT on Hannity. That guy is sharp as a tack, you may disagree with him and think he’s crazy, but his mind is still quick.

      Intense little system riding through on a suppressed jet tonight. Almost has the feeling of something that would have been a snowmaker 2-3 months ago.

      Really the only way to handle BLM or now Pro Hamas/Palestinian demonstrators is with skull crushing force. Even NYC mayor Eric Adams is speaking out about the thuggery and malevolent intent of these rioters. Many are speculating the pro Palestine groups may soon begin resorting to terror attacks. We recently had a pro Palestinian self immolate. Next time it very well may be a suicide bomb in a crowded public place with large numbers of children.

      Glad to see they aren’t taking it lying down. Their lives are being threatened and they won’t just lay down and die like the pro-Palestinian protesters want.

      Given the threats against Jews in Southern California recently this isn’t surprising. Even CNNs Dana Bash remarked tonight about how there are eerie parallels with the 1930s and the targeting and scapegoating of Jews. My Jewish friends are absolutely terrified.
