There is the school of thought out there that 2 of those issues come from the same parent so to speak.

OMG all this "weekend rain" can eat a d**k. I realize that a lot of you have been without...but upstate SC does not need more rain right now. That December drought monitor graphic is sus as hell by the way.

5 days is still too long.

It's like watching old TV shows in syndication.

Hell, I did that in January. If we're being honest, we knew back in December that this wasn't going to be a good winter for the SE. PAC = hamster on cocaine = poorly performing winter.

The only CAD relevant now is Cadbury.

Weirdest El Nino-ish La Nina I can remember being in this year. What's it called when you get the rain of a Nino but the warmth of a Nina?

Why not? It has definite historical precedence to do so. Again, we've seen this movie a hundred times.

100% this... Break out the Stolichnaya! Снег и водка – это был бы поистине полноценный праздник!

Fingers crossed for a season interesting enough for salty discussions

In all honesty, we've seen this movie too many times. The Pacific is going to likely wreck shop indefinitely. I don't see this winter as having great potential. A PAC behaving like a hyperactive hamster on a wheel has proven this time and again. Hope I'm wrong.

Exactly why I won't remember it.

Was this a still photo taken from a video? That's the only way I've ever been able to get the cloud to ground shots.

The effort this SE board puts into making winter something that it just isn't - and has never been - is amazing. And it happens every single year.

Slight ice glaze here but very manageable.
