Misc 2019 Banter & Friendly Conservation

The first half of winter we have the trough in the east, only for there to be no cold air anywhere to be found. Now the cold air is available, here comes the SE ridge. I hate 2019!!!!
 
Bleaklies: we all tie for the win or loss since we all guessed the hottest wx in history for every bleak. The actuals were meh. The N Pac block goes away bleak 3 and so does the -PNA...yay.

Temperatures;
Bleak 3: near normal
Bleak 4: slightly colder than normal and the prior run
Bleaks 5-6: near to slightly warmer than normal

Week three has seemed like the holy grail all winter, too bad Indiana Jones cant find his boots.

One of these years the NAO is actually going to go negative in winter instead of April through October.

-NAO, +PNA, -EPO, -AO, MJO absolutely stuck inside the COD at 8, El Nino, clouds covering the globe, no sunspots for a year, the EURO and GFS and FV3 all in alignment, Tony having worms and gophers ... we can have everything but ... /// ... it'll happen when Ol' Ma Nature says it's time ... 'till then ... here's to the next run of some model ... :cool:

What kind of model are you talking about?
 
Incredible setup for the PNW

I saw something today that said seattle hasnt had double digit snow in 50 years. Sometimes you just tip your cap and move on

Yup.
Precisely.
Ours (or more precisely yours) is coming ... and it won't be 50 years ... just not the SE's turn to hit a home run this time around ...
 
I find it incredible that a city that averages around 6" had a winter in 1968-69 where they had 67.5" of snow ! I'm talking about Seattle. The very next winter they had 0" !
 
I remember it being a post about cities along the East Coast in the Mid Atlantic/Northeast that had less snow than some cities in NC. It blows my mind to think that Seattle will have more snowfall this winter than Boston. I remember seeing the graphic showing Boston with only a little over 2 inches so far this winter, that's insane.
 
I'm starting to wonder if RDU will go all of 2019 without a single snowflake at all. After the epic December storm we've had none at all so far, and none is in sight. March and December often have no snow at all. I'd say it has at least a 30% chance of happening. Fairly disappointing for what was hyped up to be an epic winter. Our "most below average" February is going great, we hit 79F today...:(

December is the new snow month in the south, so i'm sure Raleigh will get some snow next December.

I highly doubt that. We went all the way from 1959 to 2018 without a single 2"+ event before Christmas. We got absolutely screwed in the December 2017 storm when we had 33 degree rain. I'm willing to guess December will be mostly snowless for us for several years to come based on climatological history.
 
Its extremely hard to believe right now, but if it was just 4 years ago that relatively late in February, I was well below freezing where I was at for a couple days, and it struggled to hit 34 at home for one of the days, having good Februaries is not impossible anymore. Climate isn't changing THAT freaking fast.

That would certainly be impressive. I honestly believe we get something by mid March. If we don't i could see 0 for 2019 I think next december is warm.

Even if it's not global warming, it might as well be, because if/when we return to the ice age, we'll just spend eternity under the SE ridge.
 
My air went out today. Heat pump. It comes on, but it doesn’t blow out of the vent with any force. Both the heat setting and air setting does the same. A little bit of air comes out but not much. Ug. At least it’s not too hot or cold. I wonder if it’s like a capacitor or something?

I don't know if it's a correlation or not, but one thing I've notice with evergreens since about 2010 is when they have a good amount of white berries in the late summer and fall, the ensuing winter has been cold, but if they're simply green with little to no berries, the ensuing winter has been very warm. Yes, the evergreens (or vast majority of them) had almost no white berries at all back in the fall. I should have known.

Yeah, it seems to be. I turned it off for a couple hours and turned it back on. Now it’s blowing properly. I’m thinking maybe low on refrigerant?
 
Just had a Ruth’s Chris filet and I’m officially in the hole here at the Indian reservation. Balmy 66 up here on the mountain. Unreal

Can be a capacitor, getting stuck in on position, had that happen before. Most likely need Freon topoff, or just a service and coil cleaning!? Should be able to get a pre season special maybe!?
