I recognize it takes a high level of skill to be good. But you can't watch the Olympics and honestly tell me it's not the odd man out and the most relatable physical requirement of all events for most people. Ask 100 people and 100 people will agree.

00z still don't inspire. At this point, just have to hope for luck.

wouldn't a southern low track generate more of an offshore flow for Portland. Isn't that how it usually works. I was thinking the bigger issue is that there isn't much cold air to support the surface cooling needed for accumulation. It seems reminiscent of April 2022 to me, when we really benefited from precip rates and timing, which negated the marginal cold profile. Late Feb 2023 benefitted from a columbia basin cold pool and offshore flow as i recall. The couple days after it snowed were very cold for that time of the year. That seemed like a more traditional backdoor snow event for portland.

Good precip rates. Should help if some moisture can get hung up.

I didn’t need to as I have been part of high performance training programs when I was younger and I know Olympic level coaches and athletes. I was gonna link an article or 2 but then realized it was pointless given your narcissistic personality traits.
