It’ll be interesting to see how next winter does. I know atleast a moderate El Niño looks likely but how could it be much worse than DJF 25-26? I think next winter should atleast be okayish. DJF period is definitely due.

Already up to 62 here. Should be a pretty nice weekend Sunday looks close to 70. Got a little inflatable boat with an outboard motor from a family member that I’m excited to test run on Sunday.

Winter storm bust… finished with like 2.5” which melted then got another half inch

Maybe for the east coasters with that pattern not here on the PNW thread…
