Agree. This is probably the best it can get in December temp wise for the Midwest now. But it’s no longer sustainable. Could be worse and be in Europe. They’re warming faster than anyone. I welcome warmups though. That usually means bigger storms. And that’s all I care about. I’d rather have a chance at a big dog than cold and dry hit or miss weak clipper patterns. Lake effect been dead around here. Too dry. Big cold front coming in tomorrow and no moisture with it.

Seriously? Southwest Washington stole our snow in January 2024. Hopefully that doesn't happen again. It's our turn!

Someone on the town Facebook page shot a 360 panorama with their drone. The entire valley is just a river. Never seen anything like this.

Doesn't sound too fun.

I’ve taken to following Skagway, AK’s weather pretty closely since it was my favorite spot during our Covid cruise last summer. They’ve been absolutely pummeled for the last several days with temps around 0 and winds consistently gusting in the 40’s. Pretty exceptional for SE Alaska at sea level and it ain’t stopping anytime soon.
