There is some absolutely insane footage from the tornadoes in Tennessee. That explosion that was caused from a tornado must have been a pretty crazy thing to witness in real life.

The enthralling blockbuster Euro run is about to begin. I can hardly wait. Oh yeah. No, no sarcasm at all. None.

This is what model riding feels like right now.... Running towards something only to fall, lose your pants, and an ass crack a plumber would be proud of. Yep. We'll have better days and maybe even before Christmas. Maybe. Ya gotta believe!!!!

Up to .96" of rain on the day, and after that initial spike at 40 degrees this morning, we have been around 34-36 the rest of the day and into tonight.  Didn't see anything fall today that resembled whet snow.  There were some barely positive splats and that's it.  I think they did better right up against the border and above 1,000 feet or so, but nothing for a vast majority of us knuckle dragging lowlanders.

00z ECMWF (December 7, 2013) find Marty and Doc, go back in the DeLorean to exactly 10 years and 3 days ago, then add +19 hours 1 minute. Wear mittens and socks too. It was COLD!

I've still got some slushy white stuff lingering in the grass as of 1am at 49N. If I kind of squint my eyes I can pretend it looks wintery.

That is an awesome windstorm pattern out this way. At least it's not atrociously boring.

[Meatyorologist]

Wow. 06z GFS. Somehow all the mild Pacific air you could ask for without any of the beneficial precipitation associated with it. Barph

[Meatyorologist]

Wooooooof. The entire Willamette Valley is gonna break the record for warmest December by a standard deviation or two if our prototypical +ENSO New Years-ish blocking gets delayed.

[snow maniac]

Never snowed here yesterday, just slushy slop

At least the Night Shift 6z GEFS is much better long range. Day 10-16 is active with Cascade snows as we're on the cooler side of the jet.
