I wish I could go back to the days when John Cessarich would say "things are about to get interesting". It was less stressful back then and super exciting. No other information or details (for me) other than the news weather. I would just about knock somebody's teeth out if they interrupted while it was on. Especially after having to wait and wait for the next news show. Staying up looking out the window into the light trying to be quiet and hiding my crazy. Those were the days.

Supposed to be 70 here tomorrow so pulled the first PTO day out of the bank hoping to get some outside stuff done! Also glad to get a break from keeping up with the wood stoves for a while.

My Grandma had a wood stove about ten years ago. My brother and I was about 18-20 years old, would take our pick-up-trucks into the woods and saw up some wood. load the truck and then haul it to her house. At that point the job is only half done. We had to split it by hand, stack it up next to the outside wall and then carried some into her house. That task pretty much took up a whole Saturday afternoon/evening. I know what you mean taking a break from the woodstove. I almost wanted to save my allowance just to give her so she can use her gas furnace.

I remember it well. I've likely shared this story or something similar a couple of times previously. It was a cold rain throughout the entire morning and most of the afternoon while I was at work. An older lady who didn't work in my department but worked in very close proximity would often listen to the radio all day mentioned she had heard a snowstorm was soon headed our way and should arrive around 3pm (she announced this around 2:15pm) She went on to state that we were expecting between 4"-6", and I was like "WTH?!" I would often watch the local news while getting ready for work in the mornings and no such thing was forecasted.

The transition from rain to snow occurred slightly before 3pm and it went from light to moderate snow rather quickly. It looked liked a handful of chicken trucks crashed as the flakes were fat and falling at a fairly rapid pace as we left work. It was a wet snow as it caused numerous power outages. Shortly after midnight, the snow dissipated and we were sitting around with approximately 6 1/2 inches. We missed the remainder of the week of work as that stuff wouldn't melt for anything.

One of the more memorable storms I can recall.

That’s a great story! Matches up well with many others!

Haha...you spelled my name wrong, didn't capitalize the K and you were waiting for the first MJO run to show what you want so you could throw it my face. I see I've been living rent free in your mind...?. I see it's going to be that kind of day...

And are we cherry picking MJO forecasts?
