Could be a decent storm for @hawkstwelve and maybe some in NE and IA…I know @gabel_23 is watching this one!

No wonder the PDO is rising with that stupid AL. Weird that's it's happening with the ENSO plunge though.

In all seriousness I'm more in favor of cloud seeding, since the potential negative effects are limited to more confined areas. There's a lot of cloud seeding in some of the mountain areas SW of here in Idaho, Oregon, etc and I wonder if that hurts us when we're under SW flow. SW flow tends to produce a lot of downsloping here anyway, but we probably need to join in on the cloud seeding too.

Right now Mother Nature is holding the torch to the thermometer. Kind of symbolic.

If there is any good news, it’s that this winter is helping to illustrate the irrelevance of the PDO as a pattern driver (it is a low frequency echo of previous pattern tendencies).
