Well, folks, I've had the runs for two consecutive days. I don't think I'm sick or anything, it was just the 4 cheese pasta and let me tell you, I ate A LOT of it. Bowls full. The last thing happened? January 2017 the great 4 cheese pasta bowel event. No, thank YOU, PastaRoni. Analog? You tell me. I say yes. 00z GFS in 1 hour 20 minutes

Yeah I think this is just too far west. The return of the Greenland high towards the end of week 2 may help, but ultimately we need the ridge further east and preferably extending deeper down into the mid latitudes. Otherwise this pattern telleconnects to exactly what are seeing, a big ridge.

Yes it is hell. I am lucky I only go into the office 2 days a week now but I am looking for a fully remote job again or at least something closer. I work in North Bellevue and I am coming from Tacoma. When I commute it is an hour and half minimum. I normally average about 2 hours both ways. I can not wait till I find a new job.

I hate winter. But I love snowstorms. I like watching snowfall. I rather have it come in epic and leave in a week and warm like a few places south of us lol. The problem we have here in SMI if it doesn’t snow it’s still cold cloudy and miserable thanks to the give and take nature of Lake Michigan. So even in warmer patterns it sucks. And that is why I hate winter here. it’s a love/hate relationship.
