The sad ridging, Southwest flow, and warm rains cycle is coming to an end. Soon many of us will be enjoying chillier temperatures, Mountain snows with the potential of lowland snow in the near future. The first Emoji is me and my buttees and the second one is Nito coming in from the left at times to see what all the happiness is about

2007-2008 brought lots of snow events to areas above 100m. Not sure why many here would oppose that?

Tad frustrating if one’s home is at 38 m. Time to ponder renting a cabin in Glacier for a few days if that happens.

He already said the Euros are unreliable, but as soon as they suck he's all about them :lol: I think he's been burnt by model fails too many times and now he's putting up a shield of cynicism.

Rug pulls only happen for cold and snowy model runs, never for mild and boring ones. It’s one of the many corollaries of Murphy’s Law.

I think we had something like 150cm that season here. Of course we already had a major snowstorm by this point in the season

Windy out right now. Feels like as much as some of the wind warnings and more than others and hardly a mention from EC. :shrug:

Rug pulls happen for pretty much every kind of weather. Just some busts are more noticeable than other. If the forecast called for 25mm of rain and it only rained 5mm nobody really cares. If the forecast called for 25-35cm of snow and we only got 5cm. Peoples heads explode.

When they forecast a high of 14 and it only gets to 11, Nitos head blows.
