Yeah, going to baby it. Chose to not cheap-out on this purchase like I am prone to do, so I'm going to stick closely to maintenance schedules and, maybe more importantly, car washes. 

Find a good independent shop to do the service. No reason to use the dealership.

I've got a good one right up the road! I can drop off the car walk back home in 7 minutes.

AWD, yeah. 

Went from Edmonds to Port Orchard, and then P.O. to Bellingham to get it. The price was very competitive, but what I've heard on Reddit from people in car sales is that used inventories are down since people aren't buying new and trading in. Prices are inflated as a result. 

And yeah, CarMax is kicking butt. I talked to a guy at the Lynnwood CarMax and he said they're sales went way up in 2020.

Weird, m'lady works at Kendall down here and they were way down in sales in 2020.

Fun times ahead!

In the short term, we are expecting to drown in rain again with over 3” of rain by Wednesday night for Seattle and up to 5” for the coastal areas. 🌧 

Frequent healthy rain events has been one really nice aspect of this winter so far. I think it's easy to forget how dry some winters of the recent past have been, and how hard it was at points to even get one decent soaking, let alone several.

I’m just a worthless piece of sh*t with no redeeming qualities. Good one man. Hahaha :lol:

Anyone else want to take a swing? I popped on this morning because I thought the 06z looked great. Would rather talk about that.

Nah, you have plenty of redeeming qualities. No one said you're a worthless piece of sh*t or anything close, as far as I'm aware.

But that one was too rich to leave alone. 😉

You nearly done? I swear this is going to drag on longer than the 12Z takes to load. Probably no coincidence there...

AR and then into the ice box within two weeks. Jim couldn't have scripted it better himself. ;)

Let's hope it doesn't screw up the snow pack too bad. Although something tells me there will be a lot of make up time in the late January through April period.

Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't make judgements about people's character or attitude based on interactions on the internet. 

Tone is impossible to gauge accurately with any regularity through virtual interactions. Some people are bullish, some are harder headed, some are pessimists. Whatever, I don't care. Just don't flat out call me an idiot and I'll be okay. 

It seems like most of the time, negative engagements escalate from something that's pretty mild because tone isn't interpreted correctly.

Maybe I am an idiot? I dunno.

Rant over.

Exactly. Don't assume you know someone's intentions, and don't take things personal. Pretty simple.

Of course this is way easier said than done in a large group of people with a wide range of personalities, some of whom have been interacting online for well over a decade. Sadly the social dynamic here (or anywhere) isn't simple and easy to condense into flashy catch all platitudes, like, say, the PDO or low solar. Nice bumper sticker though. I think I'll buy the house!

It definitely is easier said than done. I've sort of just learned to accept that everyone has a slightly different personality than everyone else, and that's okay.

Yeah I tend to like this attitude more. Setting strict, impossible to adhere to in the real world ground rules for discourse is too dogmatic for me. Even if it sounds great on the surface.

12z GFS isn't as nice with the blocking ridge emerging at day 9 as the 6z or 12z. But at least it's the GFS at day 9...and the overall trend in the pattern remains similar.

Is this where you usually stop looking?

23 years ago right now it was cold, breezy and SNOWY. The Costco parking lot was quite difficult to navigate in my 2WD S-10 and I got to go home early to play in the snow!

Nearly half a lifetime ago.

You worked for Costco?

GFS still showing a much stronger rain shadow up here than the Euro. GFS gives me about 0.5-0.75" of rain total this week while Euro suggests closer to 2". Usually the GFS does a little better so wouldn't be surprised to see this week end up "relatively" dry. Unless something shifts, I'll be nowhere near the 7"+ I had last January by the end of the month.

Fun to watch the 500mb loop of the pattern progression on the 12Z GFS. The overall regime starts the shift to more meridional once this little AR blows through on Wednesday. From there it gradually ups the ante. Sort of a classic progression.
