As much as I like the cold and seeing snow OTG, not gonna lie, but the 70's and 80's back in PHX look mighty nice!! I'm really not liking the recent trends of the GOA trough for Week 2 just hugging Western Canada. This part of the LRC was a dominant exhibit and in order to see anything promising in the snow dept, we definitely need more blocking west of Greenland and towards Hudson bay. I think the models are picking up on better -NAO blocking for Week 2, however, it doesn't appear to be enough to suppress the storm track and bleed the cold into the mid lats of the Lower 48 before Christmas. Maybe after Christmas it'll be enough?? There were promising runs earlier last week for some possible snow fall around Christmas but that is being pushed back and the massive central conus ridge is mind boggling. The Bearing Sea Rule is showing up and dominating the pattern. That ridge has not went away since around Dec 8th-10th.

I missed this last night as I fell asleep after football. But thought it was worth mentioning that a tropical Christmas makes me sick. That is definitely not getting my way. I haven't been posting much for months and certainly haven't been dominating the conversation. But I get that you need a forum villain and glad to play that role!

What a bunch of ABSOLUTE SHITE'

At least you guys can enjoy a warm spell every once in a while. Our warm spells are upper 30's and low 40's with no sun.

I gotta say weather is odd. I didnt get hardly 1 clipper for what seemed like yrs. Now 4 straight! Thsy come in waves like jan feb 2014 or feb 2021. Then to get the 2 massive lows in 3 days mid jan 2024 with 4" of precip and 35" snow!! Never really no what winter will bring here.
