Ah crap. I have some landscapers coming in a couple weeks.

We’re talking about a pattern change hat will likely take place by 12/10 or so. That’s a long way from mid January. That said, I’ve had a VISION of a front loaded winter for quite some time. Unfortunately this round of meridional stuff was pretty much a swing and a miss. Does it mean we’re putting more in the bank or was the account empty to begin with? Dunno. That’s what makes it fun, Jim!

PV strength doesn't seem to stop the East Coast and Midwest from getting cold air. Apparently the only way possible for us to get cold air (at least West of the mountains) is for a massive SSW event and collapse of the PV. Everyone else can just have a high pressure ridge drop cold air down from Canada on the trough side.

El manual rain gauge yes, going to be upgrading the weather station though as a little Christmas gift to myself hopefully lol.

A lot a red today
