Arctic outbreak next week?

[2knees]

Seriously. Just shut up about the weather and itll probably change at this rate.

seriously, why dont all the people bitching about people talking about the weather just not read the threads that are obviously weather related? hmmm, no that would be too difficult.

I have to give you some props, loafer. The observations you've posted based on NWS forecasts and data have been pretty much right on this season.

Lovely.

Did I mention that I always shoot the messenger?

Indeed. And also why I pay Jim the big bucks...

I know I know. But posting the first real good indication of winter weather should be a good thing. I dont put one ounce of stock into accuweather, snowforcast and all the other guys. When noaa says it, i pay attention. there is no alterior motive to their forecasts.

besides, i'm starting to lose it. Saturday was tough to deal with. I usually take it in stride, but wearing shorts and a tee shirt was like the straw that broke the camels back.

You should have come up to Hunter to tool around in all of the huge bumps. They were everywhere. Excellent spring conditions...70 degrees, soft snow.

On January 6.

I look upstream to the midwest for our weather and temperatures during the winter and NOAA predicts tons of cold air for that region next week. It's currently 16F in International Falls and forecast highs for the area this weekend are in the low single digits.

The Artic air may take time to get here, it may modify some, but all we need is some sustained sub freezing temperatures for 7-10 days to make snow and more importantly make everyone (save the tennis lady) very happy.

IMO, thats the key to this season, got to be selective on where you go. I was thinking about going on the 7th but looked at all the forecast and told me wife for sanity reasons, I will be out all day on the 6th. Figured wildcat should have enuf snow for one day of rain and high temps but not two.

Besides this, every time I've been out has been great.

I think Jim got up on the wrong side of the bed. Besides shooting the messenger, he's really laying a hurting on the skiers/riders who missed out on sat.

ok...no more weather related posts from me.
Cleary my interest in the weather has affected a few million square miles and billions of gallons of pacific ocean that have warmed up.

 

[loafer89]

It looks like a battleground will set up to the west of New England over this weekend between the Artic front and a storm along the Canadian boarder bringing up much warmer air. The net result will probably be warm conditions and rain, before the Arctic air makes it back in next week on monday/tuesday.

I am hoping that this storm is the kicker to keep the Polar jet south of us for a while. The Pacific Northwest looks dry and sunny this weekend, thank goodness we can turn off the firehose of warm air/moisture for a bit.

Nah, all's well here.

Just too much talking about the weather when these folks ought to be out there skiing!

Saturday was outstanding in it's strange way.

I'm just goofing on you.

But I know what you mean. Sat was a blast up north, the morning conditions kept me on my toes. Mid morning to afternoon, the conditions soften up, I thought it was spring.... surreal.

The arctic air next week sound pretty cool, but I like the part I bolded just as much!
