This upcoming winter, the Winter of 2020 - 2021, will be very different from a Nina perspective. It will play out more like a moderate Nino. Washington DC will definitely get much more snow than last winter. At this time - It looks like 25- 35 inches on the season. It probably will go up as we progress towards October.

I've heard talk of a rare Double Omega Block forming over the North American Conus by next week. If this is realized, wouldnt that place Texas in a trough that would in effect be very stable meridionally? Meaning, it wouldnt move much? We might end up getting TN/West Va/ SW Virginia'd lmao! I was laughing at the Mid Atlantic getting bedeviled by a pesky upper level low lol.

I wish i was in SW Va right now! Wow all the rain! That upper level low aint movin one little bit! I'd be out on an extended rain jebwalk! Check out this AFD!!!!! https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=RNK&issuedby=RNK&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off

Want some sun? Come on down! Come see us in south central Texas! Wall to wall sunshine with some pleasant 75 degree dewpoints and a nice high of 96!!!! This is early, even for us down here! lol Guess who got stuck out in the abundant sunshine trimmin hedges? Yours truly. Yesterday I had to trim dead branches off moms rosebush. It was 96 in the shade, dewpoint was 74 and the sun was out! I got thorned so bad all over my hands and my arm got shredded! I grabbed the hose, turned it on full and drank well water like a hot horse!

I have a particularly dumb question. Are we in a blocky pattern? A shortwave is supposed to develop into a cut off low directly over Central Texas on Saturday. In Mid-May. We already got 6 inches of rain Tuesday. It might do it again Saturday. Central Comal County in TX got 10-13 inches of rain on Tuesday.

Yep, east will flip from unusual chill, over to some warmth. TX will get pretty hot too. We might even get more rain Saturday, but far more likely to see high 80s with 69 dewpoints and sun.

Ended up with over 6 inches of rain today. This is very very highly unusual for central TX. Yearly total is now nearly 19 inches, in a climo that struggles to hit 30 inches in one year. It was very surreal today as I tried to complete chores down here on the mini farm of sorts, and the rain was just getting too damn heavy lmao!

Down here in Buda TX, we are getting hammered by all this heavy rain! It has been smashing us for nearly 2 HOURS! This is VERY unusual for us. Dry season starts about now. Its so bad I cant even get out to my rain bucket lmao! I'd estimate about 4 inches and still getting hammered by heavy rains!

Got it.

Oh okay. I am sorry. You can delete it if necessary.

Wow you guys just got hit by rain, now you're gonna get smacked AGAIN on Weds! Would you have a look at that radar! https://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full_loop.php Just WOW! I miss that! It hit 95/72 today in Buda TX lmao! You'd never know our normal high temp is 84! Can we have some of your rain?

Wow you guys are sure getting a ton of rain! Could you send me some please? LOL

We have freedom, but it comes with a heavy price. Its already hot as heck down here! It gets much worse in another 6 weeks, lol. Highs around 102 and lows around 84, dewpoints near 74 for weeks and weeks on end. No hope for major cold front relief til about late October. You just might want to think about that before trying out our climate, lol. And, it is MUCH drier. Much less rain, much milder winters, our January average is 60 for a high. And winter allergies! I cough up my lungs for 2 months just from cedar, starting around Christmas, I dont need COVID to sound like an old geezer, cedar does that for me every winter. If I ever get COVID + Cedar, I'll be sunk without a trace lmao!

Bring that hand sanitizer too, and use it a lot and use it often. Wear a mask, social distance, dont touch your face, and use the hand sanitizer a lot. Even put some on touchpoints in your car! This is what I do.

Too damn bad I cant find isopropyl alcohol anywhere in Central TX. I probably wont, for years.

Back in 2018, there was plenty of sanitizer. I got the flu that January, probably from stayin out too long during a particularly long jebwalk, in 8 degree weather. So, I panicked and bought plenty of sanitizer! Now I have some but I am still trying to find more!

I dont take a chance. It's already summer hot down here, but I wear the mask. I'd rather wear a hot mask for a while, then catch COVID then end up on one of those ventilators for weeks............... I am carrying around a bottle of hand sanitizer too. Can't hurt to keep putting it on my hands when in public. Just think about how many people touch a fueling nozzle at the gas station. I sanitize my hands a LOT!!!!!!!! I'll happily gamble with my money about a year from now when COVID is gone. But I WON'T gamble with my LIFE!

These are definitely very concerning times. I have a good mask (but not an N 95 though) and a lot of hand sanitizer. I am definitely distancing. I have a feeling we are going to be doing this for quite a while as we try to slow the spread. I hope your friend in MD stays safe. Those Bluebonnets are nice! I got a ton of em right in my own yard down here! Enjoy them on your road trip! Be very very careful!

I figured West Texas would be in very good shape. I am in Hays County. You can bet I am staying far the hell away from Austin. I probably wont go back into Austin, until mid 2021. Hays is in good shape too, though not as good as in western TX.

Does huffin' Nitrous back in high school count?

This will take your mind of of COVID 19. Imagine how terrible it would be if you were stuck in this situation!

I just shudder to think what would happen in this country if there was a second wave. Do you think we could stand another wave of Mitigation? I can. I'll never get bored with all the chores I have every day. But what about everyone else?

The data dont lie.

You are never, ever gonna get this virus. Corona would have to be crazy to mess with you lol.

We ARE gonna die. You're gonna die. I'm gonna die. We're all gonna die. Just not today. We are gonna kick Coronavirus's azz. Its gonna take us awhile, but we ARE gonna win! We will prevail, and this too shall pass.
