I will say it was nice to have the +RA to wash some of the salt off. I may hose off underneath since there's nothing wintry for awhile.

Yeah...probably. I'm actually at peace with it. We're kind of escaping the worst of the possible cold (not totally out of the woods yet), so even if we pile on another 3-5ft of snow the rest of the way I'm down with it. The chooks are starting to feel that sun angle...lots of sun bathing today and they're starting to check out the boxes for the first time since Oct/Nov. The worst thing is when we get a ton of rain, I get water flowing into the run, and then we rapidly ice up and turn into AK for a few days. This weekend was an A+ way to get rain...drop it overnight and then follow it up with 40s and sun. Everything soaked in and it can dry out a bit before evening. But whatever the weather throws at us, we deal with it. It seems like there's always a challenge with them. It's like I fix 2 problems and a new one arises...but I guess we're getting there. Next on the agenda is growing some hops this year and putting the tines up on the west side of the run. They should be fertilized well adjacent to the run and they'll get lots of sun. Come lawn thread time I'll start asking the beer snobs for hops choices.

What does your backyard look like?

I'd like to welcome our new member, 420kushlife. Sounds like an easy going guy.

44F and lots of sun. Feels like I live in Tolland this January. Lots of warm sectors and DSD days following systems.

Just having fun with you man. There’s bias everywhere today. We in the middle laugh at the extremists.

When it’s cold out east there’s a lot of hype over it...”polar vortex”, etc. I think there’s just a lot less hype in general with AK and the upper plains when it comes to the national media.

Yeah I get it...they're further south than Juneau. I just got to looking around at all of the climo sites in AK and saw how brutal January has been for the interior.

I’m not sure how anyone can live in this. Glad we don’t live there.

0.68” final. No puddles this morning, thankfully. Pack is at 7”.

If people want to post this crap at d8 we can start dishing out 5ppds and weenie tags.

This isn’t the Jan pattern thread

Let's keep the NYC drama in the NYC forum.

35.4F with -SHRA. Hopefully we get shadowed a bit and keep it under 3/4".

Oh man let's lock that GFS run in.

Looks like the GFS is going to dump its northern stream goodies into the bayou too.

Euro is going bonkers down in Texas. I'm interested to see how it handles the early deep phase/ULL.

Stressing over d7-10 op progs is useless and generally hard to read. It’s fun to troll the weenies from time to time though.

We’re past peak now here. There’s a lag as you get closer to the coast due to the heat capacity of the ocean. But over the interior climo temps are on the way up.

Desperate weenies tend to latch onto d5+ fantasies. At those long ranges you need to look beyond the specifics. Every weenie knows this, but they don’t let it sink in to their noggin. Just focus on the upper air pattern until you get around d5...then start taking a peak at the surface trends. We all look at the LR fantasy op runs, but most of us do it in jest. If you can’t tolerate models showing 950mb sfc lows, and then losing it the next run, then maybe you need to stop looking at progs beyond a few days.

We're near peak winter climo. Wavelengths aren't shortening for awhile.

Could be an office thing. GYX has put out a few this winter. I can’t speak for BOX.
