H2O

Guess we are doing pbp for model runs beyond day 7. Thats how bad it is

A Christmas Story is my jam on Xmas eve. Watch it with my kids every year

A Christmas Carol by H2O Jibenezer Scrooge was the most doubting weenie in all of LondonDC. Every Nov when the winds off the ThamesPotomac started to chill from 90F to 45F Jibenezer Scrooge would look at the CanCips and yell "bah, humbug. Winter Cancel!" The long range weenie carolers would sing "Sing we now of weak Nina" and O, Come on ye Euro at 360" and "Walking in a winter -NAO" for days and days but ol Jibenezer would just say "bah, +6C anomaly temps in Nanook AK. Winters over" His partner Eskimo Jacob Marley was equally doubtful. Upon his passing he came to Scrooge and said you will be visited by 3 ghosts. The ghost of Xmas Jan96/Feb 2010/Snopocalypse, the ghost of Torchmas present, and the ghost of Xmas MountPSU. On Xmas eve Jibenezer was visited by the first ghost. It showed him images and maps of the best storms ever with no mixing and SN+++ and puking fatties. The glory of days and weeks of fauquier schools closed and when bread and milk and TP were scarce. A tear formed in ol Scrooge's eye for those were the days when DC snowed. The second ghost of torches present came next. All it showed was mud. To which Jibenezer said "so how is this any different than the last 5 years?" And the ghost said, "Got me. But suck it, Trebek." So Scrooge just scoffed and asked if the Commanders would win the SB so he could put all his money on them in Vegas. cause if it ain't gonna snow then time to make some $$$. The ghost said it will be the Chiefs cause the refs love Mahomes. The third ghost of Xmas MountPSU was last. This ghost showed every long range map that showed the best winter patterns ever from 7 days out. All the +PNA, MJO, -NAO, stratospheric warming polar vortex, mountain torque at Mt Everest, gnat farting to change SSTs in the Indian ocean, Mongolian vodka cold one could ever ask for. A truly epic pattern that was shown to come. And then the ghost revealed the model that showed all of it and it was the CRAS. So Scrooge woke up to 33 and rain on Xmas day. None of xmas past glory nor future hope was to happen. What the models showed never came to be. Just like last year when the fucking best snows were 10 days away and then disappeared like Aaron Rodgers playoff hopes. But Scrooge had already canceled winter. Tiny Weather Will and his probability crutch maps soldiered on. Every time he posted a 240 hour snow map an angel got his wings(ah shit, mixed up my Xmas stories.) But he then said "GFS bless us, every weenie." To that end, I want to wish everyone here a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Be safe, may you enjoy time spent with family and friends. And maybe, just maybe, Santa will give us some snow this winter. Except me. I will have rain. All the rain. Even if its 20F and no warm nose at 900lvl, I will have rain.
