I just saw this

It’s been a while since we last had a significant snow here at all. Last time was Dec 2021. Everything since was bush league and melted almost immediately.

Thunderstorms rolled through yesterday evening with a lot of wind and rain here. I got 1.4 inches of much appreciated rain. More heavy rain looks likely again Saturday through Tuesday morning here and may add up to 3-5+ inches of additional rain.

Winter is never boring if you appreciate its context in the earth climate system. We're smack-dab right over the meridian line, the halfway point between the equator and the north pole, exactly where airstreams arriving from both regions on our planet collide in a fantastic, everlasting battle. Hot thunderstorm updrafts over the ITCZ expel outwards in a vast current of air high aloft, flowing north, descending like a waterfall as it radiates its heat to space, carrying an immense amount of energy, both from the maximal equatorial surface heating, as well as its relative rotational velocity of well over one thousand miles per hour. Glance 6200 miles to the north of the source of all this hot air, and you'll find the mouth of this grand atmospheric river: the north pole. Here, isotherms once only belonging to the highest portions of the atmosphere over the equator, now touch the surface of the earth. The coldest air from the highest thunderstorm tops descend and pool onto the surface of Earth, hugging the icy ground, opening into a dense, soupy sea; a churning vortex of viscous bitter air, mixing and broiling due to the high vorticity found close to the poles. At the ground, this pooling air is forced outward by an ongoing influx of more pooling air, so it escapes back south into the midlatitudes. When you look up towards the sky in the winter, you are viewing a single piece of this whole picture.
