On a more serious note, 44 degrees currently with a 20 degree dewpoint, should get well into the 20s tonight, had a chilly high temp of 62 today. Good day to take the dogs for a afternoon run

Freezing warning for bend tonight, nothing for here so I guess I can turn on my sprinklers!

2017 was a perfect low level storm. I believe 850’s bottomed out at about -8c and parlayed it into four days with highs in the 20’s and seven days below 35 degrees.

Bolded is BS, if a kid feels that way it is because they were most likely encouraged to or just allowed to without conversation. Our daughter is almost 19, she has said through the last several years that numerous kids (she is friends with) have parents that root for the weirdness and notoriety of "other" pronouns but the kids themselves are are very much against it but go along with it to appease their parents. Sure, I agree a small amount might truly be struggling solely themselves but it's a minority, maybe it's a demographic thing but a lot of kids are brainwashed with it no matter how you slice it. Edit- I am aware of a part of this is a bit hypocritical sounding, most is true.

Not trying to equate anything, Jim. Feb 1989 was obviously a much more impressive air mass, one of the greatest Arctic air masses the West has seen in the past 100 years. But Jan 2017 also had impressive duration some places. Both things can be true. Feb 1989, for all its greatness, was a quick hitter.
