What do you consider a “hard freeze”. 28F?

That’s a reflection of the MJO too. We had westerly wind anomalies over the equatorial pacific during the first week of November when MJO was in phase 8/1. The easterly wind episodes are higher in amplitude due to the niña base state, but it’s very modest, and is almost completely masked by the intraseasonal/MJO element(s).

Bye bye thanksgiving skiing

Cool and cloudy this morning. It rained briefly overnight.

A frosty 35.6˚F this morning. Second one. Still no hard freeze.
