I am hurting tonight.

I bet, hopefully it’s temporary.

Me too, thanks, a little worried because of nerves tingling in my feet tonight. 3.5 years post surgery, don’t wanna reverse that at all.

D**n that sucks, definitely hope its short term.  I have battled back issues myself, I have managed to make some changes to at least delay what I figure is the inevitable (surgery).

We'll see. Pretty tough to reach 40's here this time of year without some westerly flow and that doesn't look to be in the cards for a while. With NW flow in charge little clipper systems can sneak up on us as well. 

I'll take a picture of what our "garden" looks like tomorrow. It's literally buried under about 4ft of drifted snow and you can't see any of our four garden boxes or our well. It's gonna be a while.

Weather cams there look pretty darn snowy!

Thanks man, I had to have surgery, what I had going on was crippling, best decision ever.  But today brings back some bad memories.

What happened if I can ask? Glad you're better for sure.

Saw some light snow above 700 feet in the Lakemont area tonight. Even some slushy accumulation on cars.

Highly active with sports in high school, Pole Vaulting especially, but didn't realize problems until years after and hurt myself on the job, it came and went for many years before I started to lose feeling in my legs a few months before surgery in 2018.  I graduated HS in 1996.  It was inevitable according to my doctors.

Biggest Hudson Bay low ever?

EPS weeklies only strengthen the WPAC signal with time. Note the eastward propagation next month.

Ugly situation for the SW US.

Jeez man I had no idea. I hope you're not having many issues now. It's almost like being physically active and doing sports isn't as fun as it sounds considering it led to many injuries for me too.

34 and cloudy this morning. Yesterday was a solidly cool 38/32. Overall the models are pretty boring right now.

[Kayla]

Dropped down to -16F here this morning with 5" of new snow overnight. Currently -13F.

Here's our garden area. There are four garden boxes under there somewhere! Looking forward to gardening season but until then, bring on the snow and cold!

And what it looked like in July this past year.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

32˚F and cloudy. Radar echoes are over Vancouver Island, headed this way. YVR reporting a dew point of 25.7˚F. It’s coming…

Found the exact same perspective from a couple of summers ago! I'm such a nerd haha

I almost like the summer picture as much as the snow picture. The clouds look incredible.

[LowerGarfield]

NWS Spokane placed my county and my zone in a Winter Weather Advisory with the old stand by prediction of 1-3 inches  from 4pm-4am which surprised me a bit.

[TeacherLori]

So, is winter over?

[Anti Marine Layer]

The New Jersey groundhog, Miltown Mel, has died.

[ShawniganLake]

Flurries flying here this morning. Just a trace of accumulation 

[MossMan]

Flurries!!! 

[FroYoBro]

GFS thinks we may have another week long dry stretch down here. Pray for Joshua.

[MossMan]

It came! February delivered again! 

[TacomaWaWx]

Got down to 31 this morning freeze #14 this season. Going out to Eatonville again today we will see if they’ve got any snow at 700’.

Sad that Timmy in KY is going to miss this snowstorm.      

Phil - you could travel west this time!    No ocean to screw up the snow.  

[SilverFallsAndrew]

You have to wonder why our weather always sucks.

Is he in line for any ice.  I saw some maps earlier showing 2” of ice down that way.

I wish it was only a week. More like an indefinite one. If the GFS verifies, we will have gone 40 days in winter with about 1” of rain. Only one day with more than .15”. Hard to even fathom, yet I am confident it will happen. There are zero indications of a pattern change back to wet. Like I joked about before, maybe our summer pattern started in January this year. It started in March last year, so why not?

Pretty incredible. I don't even know what to say at this point.

We are almost Guaranteed to go 50 days with 0" pretty amazing but it seems to happen every winter now since 2011.

You guys are feast or famine down there. Must be incredibly frustrating.
