Flat ridge my be emerging as this winter’s retrogression.

My be?? Lay off the cider rummy.

[Gradient Keeper]

GEFS step backwards. Mean temp warmer. Still a cluster of chilly members. Nothing I'm excited about.

[Gradient Keeper]

NOPE on the GEM too. I think that'll change though and the EURO will lead the way. May not be tonight, but not too far into the future.

I wanted to remind everybody that when the model runs are bad it reduces the meaning of Christmas and overall quality of life. It also is a good reason to be rude to friends and family.

Great advice and rules to live by. Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Hope everybody’s last minute Christmas wrapping is going well. Watching the traditional annual movies with m’lady.

 

Muppet Christmas Carol

A Christmas Story

 

Snow in those movies. Gives one hope for a White Christmas to break the 29 year streak next year.

Day 6 00z tonight, last night

 

[MossMan]

Love living near a close hill that you can drive up to real quick just for fun. Not something most people get excited about but Im sure most here do.

I walk up to my neighbors/friends 50acres behind us. We are at 550’, their top elevation is 705’. It’s cool to see the difference when the S.L. Is marginal.

We have had this on non stop since it started at 5!!

Gold Mountain is right behind my house and it is 1700ft at the top. I hiked up there last February when we had all that snow and there was over 5 feet up there. I sure wish I could buy property up there but it is watershed area.

Day 7 tonight, last night

Day 8 Oh oh Oh. MUCH closer to a ridge merger

 

[High Desert Mat?]

Yikes, someone is sensitive tonight. No names though.

[Jesse]

CHRISTMAS EVE EURO ALERT?!?

[Gradient Keeper]

Yikes, someone is sensitive tonight. No names though.

Santa? Well he's constantly struggling over his moral dilemma with the naughty/nice list.... It's rough.

[GHweatherChris]

Day 7 tonight, last night

 

12 24 19 00z ECMWF Day 7 2 runs.gif

Much weaker polar vortex vs 12z. #NotACoincidence

[High Desert Mat?]

Day 9 Well that's DIFFERENT

 

Looks like we all get long di$$ed when everything else falls apart. Anyone have some peanut butter for my cat?

[Gradient Keeper]

This run is SO close to shunting the energy cutting off down to Hawaii/cutoff low with ideal block development/placement to turn things cold by Day 10 and then craziness after. If that high pressure cell can build a bit more northwestward above the cut-off low as it merges with the Aleutian ridge. SO CLOSE!

Creamy, nutty, or that nutella stuff?

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Not tonight at least!

My late wife would absolutely loose it and giggle the entire time when they were singing the Christmas songs in the Chinese restaurant. It was a funny thing because me and my boy would watch Mom and just wait for the laughs to begin. Good memories.

[Gradient Keeper]

Day 10 so close! We end up getting screwed an entirely new way. Lol. Unreal.

Looks like the ol’ West Coast Warm Finger potential with that.

[Brian_in_Leavenworth]

[Gradient Keeper]

At least we aren't dry or snowless.

 

10 Day Rainfall Totals

 

 

10 Day Snowfall Totals. Supposedly Western Washington/Puget Sound sees snowfall. Maybe. I'm skeptical.

 

[GHweatherChris]

I will take some wet snow to rain events at this point. Those used to actually be kinda fun!
