Port Angeles Foothiller Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 30 minutes ago, SilverFallsAndrew said: You just cannot leave the SEC out. The playoff would have no legitimacy without it. Personally I would have left Texas out, even though they beat Bama. Alabama went unbeaten in the SEC and beat Georgia. That should mean a lot more than some non-conference game in September. On the other hand, like I said. No way FSU would be competitive in the playoff, so in the end the fans win. FSU played a garbage schedule and was without their QB. Putting them in over bama would have been a tragedy 3 Quote PWS: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KWAPORTA220 2023-2024 Snow Total: 18" (6 events) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have fond memories of it because of the week from Christmas to New Year's and then the April BLAST. If not for what happened in April I would have probably counted it as something of a disappointment. Last winter was the best I've had up here though, and it's not really even close. Dec 2021 was fabulous up this way. Good snow cover for several days and solid cold. 2 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

The last two Decembers both delivered some true winter. EDIT: In 2021 we had 41/31 on Dec 3. I think Winthrop hit 70 on 12/1 or 12/2 that year which is outlandish. Their old December record high had been 54.

And is the vortex (or daughter vortices, in the case of a split) displaced well off the pole, with high pressure taking over (hence a reversal in zonal winds)?
