Yeah, surprises are more rare these days which sucks. They can still happen though!

Oh trust me, I know.  I would love nothing more than that to happen soon.  We need it badly.

Relax.........you are going to bust a blood vessel or something.

And you don't know my entire history, this goes way back, at least 35 years.  I used to collect the weather page from the Statesman Journal and keep them on my wall, pinned above my bed.  I used to dissect those suckers, looking for any hint of snow, I was sick, real sick.  My brothers and I, high desert Mat one of them, would watch channel 2, 6, 8, and 12, hoping they weren't played at the same time so we could watch all of them.  We would do that from November all the way through March, just hoping to get a taste of snow.  My first real good memory is 1985, I am pretty sure we got a good storm or two, we were in Woodburn at the time.  My mom has pictures of me miserable in my snowsuit.

I am still a recovering wishcaster.  Sometimes I see things that aren't there, sometimes I will things into happening.  But with technology today, it really has cheapened things.  We know too much.  It makes me lash out.

Look I'm not losing my mind here it's just tiring. This - and I can't stress this enough - is a weather forum. People talk about models. Many are very knowledgeable. Very few are pros. It is a hobbyist group. People here run the gamut from wishcast express to eugene will never be below 60 degrees again. The forum contains multitudes. I have no idea what you hope to gain out of just repeating the same stuff over and over about how 10 day stuff might not work out. Even wishcast express people know that deep down.

Day 6 Really would like to see that energy weakening instead of trending stronger as has done so the past several runs.

That is day 6.  Let us see where day 9 is :).

Day 9'er

I’m getting the sense that Rob doesn’t like the 00z.

[Gradient Keeper]

Hoping the GEFS doesn't backtrack at all.

What the hell am I supposed to do for the next 23 minutes?

[Gradient Keeper]

Oh well, at least it's really windy outside.

[SouthHillFrosty]

Rob must have gotten coal for Christmas. I'm blaming the lack of snow on him tonight.  Tomorrow it will be somebody else

[GHweatherChris]

Just some good ol fashioned cock talk on the weather thread today.

Just wanting things to move up.  Frustrated with it staying the same for weeks in end. I can’t vent to anyone in my personal life since they’d just look at me with a raised brow like I’m crazy... 

 

[MossMan]

One of my trees started making this noise after the windy day earlier in the week...I’m sure I will be losing part of it during the next windstorm.

Yeah it gets much louder the more breezy it gets...My wife thinks it’s quite creepy as well.

@Runtmc, why did you delete your reply from the thread before I could read it?

[Deweydog]

I think my average January forecast is going down in flames.

I need to figure out which tree it is, haven’t been home enough during the daylight hours this week to find it. Hopefully this weekend I can find the culprit tree!

00z ECMWF Day 1

[Omegaraptor]

Raging east wind east of the West Hills yet PDX and TTD are at 48F. Warmer than you'd expect in the dead of winter with east winds at night.

Definitely a bit of a downslope component to tonight’s wind.
