I wouldn't take a comment about a Yellowstone Caldera eruption seriously. Just saying. 

I’ve seen some disingenuous slime here in my day but this really takes the cake.

12Z EPS shows the same retrogression as the ECMWF by day 9 and 10... but then goes back to some sort of trough over the PNW a little later.

IDK man, I may end it all via NUCLEAR BOMB!

I hope you are banned. 

I did nothing wrong.   Phil jokingly wished for death... worth checking if everything is OK.

Do not do it Andrew. It is not worth it.

You would probably have sticking snow if this was happening at night.

Pretty clear it was mockery. Which is fine. We’ve all joked about some edgy things here sometimes. I definitely have. But for the love of god just own up to it.

It was sort of a joking response to Phil joking about wishing for death and calling it a blessing.   But not entirely.   I honestly do worry about Phil and would be here for him.   Do you not remember all of things he has told us?

It is crazy active up there... onshore flow is really strong based on the gusty wind here.

I can only hope it comes to me. I doubt it will.

44F and mostly cloudy. Nice, chilly day.

 Not our typical one strike wonder thunderstorm. Always impressive what a spring PSCZ can do with little surface heating.

[MossMan]

Afternoon in nearly mid April and it’s 34 and snowing…

Almost looks like a hook echo on the south side of the c-zone heading for your area.

[Slushy Inch]

Fingers crossed! I’m heading outside to watch clouds!

Would that end up having any effect on the climate? I’m assuming it won’t.

Theoretically it could affect the polar stratosphere and weather patterns/blocking.

Let’s hope so. That looks like a horrible pattern.

Actually that looks very short lived (as modeled). Verbatim it’s a classic discontinuous retrogression often seen w/ phase 8/1/2 transitions.

Wow is right.   You are such a tool.        

It was not a joke.   Phil has confided in us in the past about this issue.   And he wished for an extinction event which would mean his death (and all of us) and said it would be a blessing so it does beg the question if everything is OK.   

Side note... I also lost a cousin to suicide.   Not that it matters to the discussion here.

Hold on, I was joking about the Yellowstone thing. I thought your comment was likewise tongue in cheek.

I didn’t think it would be taken literally. No, I’m not suicidal.

It was a joking response to your death wish.   But not entirely because I always worry about you.  

And that is no joke.   Sort of like family here.

[Cascadia_Wx]

12z EPS. I’m pretty interested in where the pattern goes after the 20th.

52 and sunshine has my bees flying, but they seem to be a little hesitant to come out given the wind and relatively cool temperatures. If the weather was a bit better they would be far more enthusiastic to come out after being stuck inside for three days. 

[Winterdog]

Currently 34F and snowing.  Had a high temp of 41.9F at midnight and it could hold for my max!  Delightful!

Incredibly impressive to have lowland snow anywhere two years in a row on 4/11.

I'm just glad if we fail to have our hottest summer ever for the 3rd year in a row, and if we can avoid this winter completely sucking, we will be able to blame some volcano for our good fortune. 

[Cold Snap]

Well this just started happening. Also getting a north wind now instead of a south.

The first summers after volcanic eruptions are usually warm... its the next summer that is cold.

So this one will be average. Would have been cold, but now this new one will save us. Next summer tho. LOOK OUT.

Check out these Mammatus clouds next to me

PSCZ dissipated over me just to reform to my east. Enjoy!

Posted in FB garden group just now... Whidbey Island.

[MossMan]

And now it’s wall to wall sun! 

[Winterdog]

Snow apparent at about 800 feet.  The sun is gonna mess up my high temp of 41.9F.  Currently 37F.

[Cascadia_Wx]

That shortwave moving in tonight looks pretty chilly.

A year to the date after winter storm SILAS delivered April Blessings. Seems like ever since my demon spawn of the same name was born I have been BLESSED with abundant snow.
