This seems like a plausible take. Much like the SE ridge is downstream effect

It's snowing again this morning. Not much just some light snow. I believe it snowed for 5 days in a row now but probably only added up to about 4 cm in total. This is typical for this area. But it sure looks nice. The best part was sitting at a friend's outside around a fire on Christmas Eve and watching six reindeer hop through the snow about 50 to 60 feet away :o
January 2025 incoming..looks like more Pineapples..Happy New Year! :think:

I'd be curious to see a picture of your cabin if you have one.

A quick update. My puppy is going under the knife this afternoon for her pelvis. She's also getting one more CT to make sure her spine is OK. If all goes well she could be coming home this week. Fingers crossed for a safe and successful procedure. Following that will be 2 to 3 months of careful rehab.

I am currently jello. My wife has handled this a hundred times better than me. Its just something I'm not equipped to cope with. I'm thankful this forum has been here as an escape to get some laughs, you guys are all hilarious.

One more thing. If you do own a dog, I didn't know this but there's a blood donation program. I'm going to take my little Aspen in as soon as she is fit for it. Luckily she never required transfusions but some unfortunate doggies will. So anyways please consider it if you think its right for your pup.

It looks like PNA wants to spike again. How is it possible that every long range model clearly depicted -PNA over and over again and not even once has it even dipped negative. This climate is just wow sometimes.
