We're going to get soaked next week.

Yes, please!

I’m thinking of leading a mushroom hike on Thanksgiving[1] weekend, and that would sure help bring ’em out in time.

First one of the season. Change is afoot.

Summer seems to have ended here too. Earliest I can remember in over a decade. Hope the good fortune continues into the winter.

The Wiz usually arrives back at the forum this time of the year…Unless he has decided to take this El Niño off

Might be a good winter for him to skip. Honestly.

Just checked his profile, last time he was on here was April 22nd. Think we need to expand our search party to not only include Brian in Leavenworth and Kayla, but also Jim!

Wow... he usually checks in even if he doesn't post.   Very odd.

How is your dad doing?

Even last winter which was statistically impressive in several ways…he was disappointed about it. He kinda had a freak out at the end of March and he hasn’t been on since I’m sure he’s just fine though. 
 I’m not feeling anything good about this winter either. I’d be surprised if we had more than a slushy inch or two…I’ll be happy with anything we get. It wouldn’t be surprised if we had little to nothing like 2014-2015 and 2015-2016.

Maybe he struck it rich at his gold mine on the east side.

Maybe Ma nature will throw us a bone at some point. 
 

I’m getting some new tires put on this weekend.  Should jinx any chance of the white stuff falling early in the season.

Definitely feels like a dud is in the cards. Hopefully we can eke out a Dec 1972 miracle tho.

2019-2020 is the ceiling this year.

I was thinking the same thing. Although I can't imagine getting rich would cause him to lose his passionate love/hate affair with weather.

Ah lovely, a year where our coldest temp was 23F on Oct 26.

Euro coming in juicy again, gotta love it. And it's a nice southerly AR that won't have a shadow in Puget Sound.

He could be working on some new indices to foretell what an incredibly cold winter is ahead.    

[TT-SEA]

12Z ECMWF is pretty nice after the big rain event on Monday.   Shows some showers but with lots of sun Tuesday through Thursday in southerly flow and then another system moving in on Thursday night.

I think that was the winter it snowed 5" in Bellingham on a 14°F night. Cold enough to squeak when walked on!

Seriously, after the recent run of winters, I am expecting something of a dud, particularly with El Niño conditions.

Nice. Did you shovel or get the snow blower out.

We had a foot of powder snow fall in about 4 hours the night before I took that photo.  Cleared the truck with a leaf blower.

Everyone has been saying this all summer long, which makes me think we overperform 

[TT-SEA]

ECMWF is definitely on board now.   GFS lead the way.

He is currently in an assisted living/rehab center but is scheduled to finally come home on Thursday if all goes well!

He got rich but then donated it all to the Trump campaign.

I’ll add my 1/15/2020 photos. Good storm out here.

Thanks for posting. Looks like a GOD send for the region.

Actually not a bad way to kick off the rainy season with an AR. Our first real fall storm of the season could potentially pack quite a punch.

Great to hear!

[Iceresistance]

Even the Climate Prediction Center is favoring the PNW

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Michael Snyder sounds bullish on a pattern change to wetter weather, too.

It’s coming!!
