Pattern Caperil 2021

We just had a wall to wall below normal winter and almost no snow so "averages going up" doesn't exactly explain the lack of snow especially given we have had winters with AN temps and AN snow. Additionally 1/1/90-12/31/99 was the worst decade for snow we averaged something like 2 inches so this recent GW train that is causing less snow doesn't entirely fit that narrative. Broad brushing GW for our lack of snow is the easy way to explain it but there is likely something deeper that has favored SE ridging/PVs going into other continents/a general lack of a -NAO/and west coast troughing. Maybe the answer ties back to GW I'm not sure but you can see clear decadal or multidecadal flips in the 500mb height anomalies globally and right now we are in one that stinks.
I think in a sense you’re right in the different things effecting patterns and such and the -NAO and all .. but I think global warming plays a significant role in all of these happenings... a changing climate causes changing weather patterns causes disruptions to all these things you’re stating ... we’re almost in uncharted territories in regards to how our weather works in a climate that is rapidly changing ??‍♂️

Everything that is happening currently has happened in the past.
 
It sucked trying to keep the plants covered last night with all the wind. I hate these cold temps this time of year.
 
Once again, colder east than west. only 33 in Gso, and 32 imby. So far saved from the freezes. Lets see what tonight brings...

Rest of the run sucks. It'll be fun to look back at this when we are under 587 in January
If we mess around and have year without a summer and turn around and torch all winter I will officially quit this effing hobby!
