Misc Cold Season Complaining

Lady just totaled her car hitting a deer and coasted in to my driveway.
Unfortunately, I had to take care of the deer if ya know what I mean. She was suffering really bad. 🫤
Well I can say that she has had a better deer season than I have so far this year. I've only seen two while I was hunting and they were not much bigger than my dog. When spring and summer get here they will be trying to wreck my garden and I'll see plenty of them.
 
I don’t share much about my personal life on here but seeing that I’ve known most of you guys for the last 7-10 years I’d like to share something that’s heavy on my heart. We are currently going through a family struggle and will be losing half of our 6 generation family farm. We just don’t have the money for a buyout. It’s been tough and we don’t know how to keep it barring hitting a 2million dollar lottery some time in the next 6 months. Thanks for listening and I’m open to ideas seeing that most of mine/ours are exhausted.
Dam Jimmy i hate to hear that! Prayers for you and the family buddy.

I hope you can work out a solution to this too common dilemma among farmers in this day and time. Many family farms are being shut down because of rising property taxes, equipment costs and rising land values. One of my grandfathers was a tobacco farmer and had a farm on land that had been in our family since before the American Revolution. My uncle took over the farming operations but he had a heart attack and with noone willing to contiune the legacy our family decided to sell that farm to neighboring farmer. It was sad seeing that happen so I understand how you feel. Hang in there and I'll say a prayer for you.
 
Well, we have had the cold, but no snow to show for it.

For all this talk about record warmth the entire EPS run is barely above average here... There's even a small snow mean on the 19th

How strange

I mean yeah it's not cold and probably won't snow but just the fact there's even a snow mean when people are acting like the pools should be reopened

/End rant

Haha I'm actually going to Breckenridge today and planning to do it too... I've done it before on these trips

Looks like they might get an inch or two of new snow tomorrow as well. Better than nothing Screenshot_20241208-051531_Chrome.png

Both the extended GEFS and European Weeklies show RMM MJO entering phase 7 as we enter the new year.

Something is probably going to happen in early to mid January.

Also, I am working on the long-term analysis of ERA-5 OMI MJO (1940 - near present) and NC winter storms and the results are interesting thus far, having gone through all the data through the mid 1980s. Hopefully, I can finish it soon and show some of the results.

I was planning to go golfing on Christmas ! Your forecast said it would be warm now it looks cold! How could you fail me webber :(

It’s ok I forgive you this time
 
The higher the amplitude, the more time it is likely to spend in phase 7. The long lived January phase 7 events (like most recently 2022) tend to give us multiple opportunities for snow/ice

That’s helpful to me as I learn the MJO. Appreciate you taking the time to explain it
