You are totally insane.

I'm just tired of the left wing media platforms pulling the rug out from under anyone right of center.  The scathing anti snowfall post reminded me of that.

Looks like a 41 / 25 day here today.  Much better than what we've been seeing.

I’m rather sure his schtick should feel oddly familiar to you.

Seems like a stretch. Try not to generalize and insert politics into every situation. Just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean it's necessarily due to a political divide, especially an extreme one like that. They could have easily been a liberal or conservative. I would have ripped them a new one for making that comment here regardless

A frustratingly large amount of people are going to be very upset when it doesn’t snow for 6 straight hours tomorrow

Many people will be happy since they find snow as a big dumb inconvenience.

Sounds like a sick totalitarian leftist.

Not knowing the context makes it tough.  I would think the guy is kidding.  If not, I’d agree that the remark has the same venom in it that we are hearing everyday from Antifa and similar groups. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I don’t know one person around here or in Salem who doesn’t like snow or get excited about it. 

[Rubus Leucodermis]

I find it amusing that some people apparently believe I possess the power to make it snow (or not) based on which rituals I choose to perform (or not perform). It’s somewhat flattering, actually. I do not honestly believe I have been held to possess any comparable supernatural abilities.

[GHweatherChris]

Wow the models are looking amazing, very promising and providing a ton of hope that some winter goodies are on the doorstep.

 

Is that better?

Fairbanks is +9.4 this month after a +4.3 December. A warm winter there is virtually a lock. That in a sizable Nina which strongly, strongly favors cold there obviously.

And the coldest the 12z GFS showed them getting was -18. That's entirely unimpressive. That transient early month airmass looks focused further to the east.

This would be a bit colder.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Made it up to 54 in Coquille today!

[umadbro]

Beautiful spring day. Mowed the lawn, edged, pulled some weeds. Looking forward to when the cold rain is over so we can move on to spring and summer. I got plans for my lawn!

[Jesse]

Ended up with a 44/24 spread here. Coldest day of the winter so far. Hard frost in the morning which stuck around in the shade through early afternoon, giving away to chilly sunshine.

I do still need to give you the wiener since I sense sarcasm. 

[MWG]

We went for a walk it is cloudy and 44 but definitely feels colder.

My friend, you are losing your grip on reality. Stop letting your right-brain do all the talking.

How’s the NAM looking? 

[TheNewCulverJosh]

That Truckee airport webcam is ridiculously void of snow.  6' of snow by Thursday/Friday will definitely change that.

Plows were busy earlier today though.  Sure did melt off fast!

40/28 today. Almost pulled off a sub 40 but not quite. 

[MossMan]

Had a high of 39. Currently 34. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Has been much drier the past 10 days. Just 0.29” since that big AR/Windstorm on the 12th.

Did the fog ever clear off there.  Walking Redondo I could see the heavy fog your way.

Technically that’s the GFS.

I don’t know what you’re looking at?

Both Jan 2019 and Jan 2018 ran -0.8°F departures, and in fact Jan 2019 had a colder monthly minimum (-2°F) than January 2018 (-1°F).

2019 top, 2018 bottom.

The East overall.

In 2017-18, PWM had a coldest month of -5.5 in December. In 2018-19 their coldest month was February with +0.5.

In 2017-18, BOS had a coldest month of -4.0 in December. In 2018-19 their coldest month was January with +1.7.

In 2017-18, NYC had a coldest month of -2.5 in December. In 2018-19 their coldest month was January with -0.1.

In 2017-18, PHL had a coldest month of -1.4 in December. In 2018-19, their coldest month was January with +0.3.

In 2017-18, BWI had a coldest month of -1.2 in December. In 2018-19, their coldest month was January with +0.6.

In 2017-18, CLT had a coldest month of -2.3 in January. In 2018-19, their coldest month was December with +3.4.

In 2017-18, ATL had a coldest month of -2.9 in January. In 2018-19, their coldest month was January with +2.6.

2018-19 was definitely not a cold winter for the East, nor a winter with any significant monthly cold anomalies. 2017-18 came much closer to delivering that in the first half of winter. Before that, you have to go back to February 2015 for any deep monthly negatives.

It did eventually but it took a while longer than the other side of the bay. Probably why it didn’t get as warm over here. 39 with a DP of 33 here. 

[Rubus Leucodermis]

40/22 for the day. Now 37˚F.
