Gfs pooped the bed

Sure did.

[Timmy]

The nice part is there is a lot more cold air to work with. Way colder in Canada 

[SalemDuck]

Gfs long range is very progressive but there is plenty to work with

GFS day 16

[SalemDuck]

The GFS and GEFS are slowly becoming less bullish on the retrogression at day 8-9. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Critical EURO weekly run today.

Mine are up purely because I'm too lazy to take them down.  It's going to look kinda funny having your lights up in mid summer isn't it?

Weather will be about the same!

[Winterdog]

All is not lost, I had my first freeze of the year this morning, 31 degrees of winter bliss.  It's looking like it could be a long time before I get another one though.

We are the last ones on our street with the lights up. They are coming down today.  Even though it’s foggy and drizzly. 

[SalemDuck]

The models know where they want to go. Just some uncertainty on how to get there. But all the long range and ensembles are  pointing to a ridge in the GOA in about 13-14 days.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Average low here is 29 right now. Lowest temp so far this month has been 34!

[Deweydog]

Becoming pretty clear that the best is yet to come with regard to this January’s blast furnace.  Some of next week’s stuff looks pretty crooked.

[SouthHillFrosty]

My gf left me for the lack of snow in the PNW the past couple years. She left more for a colder climate. The city was Indianapolis.

The models are so vapid.

Guys and gals, just got back from the Dr. office for my physical and had some blood drawn in the lab. 

Last time I had blood drawn? February 1, 2019.

When do you find out whether or not you’re positive for retrogression?

Doc wouldn't tell me.

WOW. That is terrible. I hope she is not tagging you in Instagram posts with her new lover.

Careful, all that UV with the sunny days and high sun angles in the summer really degrades the lights and wiring.  And then there's all the exposure to smoke in August in September, that can't be good.  

[Timmy]

The euro is still too progressive and a step back from the last 12z

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Pretty incredible that for those south of Seattle this will be the 4th incredible January torch in a row.

I’m leaving some up in backyard around my waterfall and sitting area in hope  

[SalemDuck]

Models definitely trended weaker with the ridge over us on days 8-10

An incredibly incredible torch, indeed. 

Atleast it snowed a bit in 2020. Still no snow in sight but it’s early. I bet we’re gonna get some chilly weather next month and maybe some snow is my guess. 

[MossMan]

Oh oh...

Not here sadly. And it's not gonna happen again for a long-a$$ time other than the mountains. We are a horrific place for snow.

[Gradient Keeper]

Yakima ensembles shows some indication of backdoor chilly air with more members -5c to -12c. A long ways to go but I'm not real confident. 12z EURO was a train wreck. Hoping the EPS shapes up better.

Vapid....the meaning of this word is totally wrong for such a cool sounding word!
