Voyager

Truer words were never spoken!

Looks like too much mixing/flipping east of 81. Still a good 6-12, but the crush job IS farther NW this run.

No it isn't. If everything falls into place, you guys might be looking at a special final two weeks of December!

Haha...maybe. If you guys do end up with an epic winter, you're not going to want me to ever come back...

Tamaqua bullseye???

I sure hope (and pray) I don't get a Flagstaff load assignment on Monday... Sunday Night Snow showers, mainly after 11pm. The snow could be heavy at times. Patchy blowing snow after midnight. Low around 24. Breezy, with a south wind 20 to 23 mph, with gusts as high as 36 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible. Monday Snow showers, mainly before 11am. The snow could be heavy at times. Widespread blowing snow, mainly before 11am. High near 33. Breezy, with a southwest wind 16 to 23 mph, with gusts as high as 39 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible.

The PHX forecast for Sun City shows winter for me too...ugh Tuesday Areas of frost before 8am. Otherwise, sunny, with a high near 53. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph. Tuesday Night Widespread frost. Otherwise, mostly clear, with a low around 34. Calm wind. Wednesday Widespread frost. Otherwise, sunny, with a high near 54. Calm wind.

Meanwhile in Voyager's world, the weather gods don't like me...

Almost unbelievable story developing in the Tamaqua area tonight. Two firefighters die battling a house fire, and an apparent gun suicide during the fire. https://www.skooknews.com/2022/12/two-firefighters-die-in-west-penn.html?m=1

Denied. The cold weather magnet has left the region...

I think the temperature threshold is 60, but not sure of the other parameters.

Will you guys PLEASE take this persistent trough off my hands? My forecast for early next week... Monday A 20 percent chance of showers. Mostly sunny, with a high near 57. West wind around 5 mph. Monday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 36. West northwest wind around 5 mph becoming north after midnight. Tuesday Sunny, with a high near 56. North northeast wind around 5 mph becoming calm.

Nope. Even with trough it's still warmer here than there...lol

For what it's worth, I don't like the trough in the southwest either...

Same in the Skook. Wife had no problems, but said she saw a couple of accidents on her way into work.

Nope. Not a chance. Too many closed minded folks there who will NEVER leave, no matter how much better life can or might be somewhere else.

So it was (and still is) a Pennsylvania type day and overnight here in the desert. It started raining at 10:30am yesterday and hasn't stopped since. Here at the house, 0.42" of a steady, light to moderate, synoptic rain.

2pm temp in a chilly, grey, and rainy Sun City today...

Living in Phoenix now, so I like this post. A ridge in the right place gives me my 75 to 80 degrees, and you guys good snow. Many times the southwest (LA and Phoenix) broiled while we were getting dumped on.

40 degrees warmer than that this morning for our low, and my friends and family wonder why I don't want to come back home to PA. They all know how much I HATE winter and cold temperatures, yet ask when I'm returning.

This is a really rare forecast for the southwest deserts. Four straight nights/mornings of fog chances. We hardly ever have dew, let alone a full blown fog... Friday Night Patchy fog after 1am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a low around 50. Calm wind. Saturday A 20 percent chance of showers after 11am. Patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a high near 70. Calm wind becoming east southeast around 5 mph. Saturday Night A 20 percent chance of showers. Patchy fog. Otherwise, cloudy, with a low around 55. Calm wind. Sunday Patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a high near 71. Calm wind becoming south southeast around 5 mph. Sunday Night Patchy fog after 9pm. Otherwise, partly cloudy, with a low around 51. Calm wind. Monday Patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 70. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. Monday Night Patchy fog after 9pm. Otherwise, partly cloudy, with a low around 46. West southwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm. Tuesday Patchy fog before 10am. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 67. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph.

I checked my station and it showed 12.5 for a peak gust, but from what I've heard, it must have been higher because tree crews are out working on some downed branches.

About half of it needed mowed. It was still plenty green yet, too. That was the year my wife's hyacinths poked out of the ground as well. Our neighbor had a couple hyacinths that got full sun on a southern exposure and were about 3" high.

I think it was 2015 when I mowed my grass on Christmas Eve...

What does the second wave in Texas do afterward? Does it follow the first one into the Northeast, get sheared out, or suppressed and out to sea?
