Emmanwori was a full participant in practice today. There was speculation that they might rest him until Sunday and then see how it feels... but he was at full strength today with no issues. So great to hear that.

Time to diversify into more stable assets.

Nice day at Titlow Beach.

The Northeast had dud winters in 19-20, 22-23, and 23-24.

Ironically, February 2019 was a non-event for us in Portland, while areas north and south got hammered. But that was just plain bad luck. I'd gladly accept a second bite at that apple. It would be wildly premature to suggest a repeat of that crazy month, but at least the emerging pattern is showing similarities (see CPC analogs). Worth noting that this is purely a discussion of pattern evolution right now and an anticipation of colder air emerging to support it. As of now, the ensembles, taken at face value, are not strong at all.
