Was looking at analogs we liked coming into this winter. So far, it's looking quite similar to 1972-'73. I remember Wxman57 mentioned one of his colleagues liking this analog alot.

2009-'10 is far from what we have at the moment. Persistent blocking and upper level highs in the higher latitudes that year. Still a chance for this to change!

So how did that winter turn out? I was 1 year old and don't quite recall all the details. I think I do have a really cute snow picture of me about that age, so maybe?

On another note, the FV3 barrels the cold straight towards towards Texas at the end of its run. Can that happen? :lol:

Not similar at all in the snow department here in DFW.
1.4 in Dec., 2.3 in Jan, and only a T in Feb.

Left or right I’m sure we all can agree a fully staffed and funded NWS is the best NWS. :)

I do hope it ends soon. I've not been able to post reanalysis of years and patterns because much of that is currently down and not accessible, which is why posting has been so limited. NARR/NCAR/ESRL and TAO/Triton (ENSO) sites and data is currently not available. So right now we are running off mostly by models. Many observational sites that are not private has very limited data.

New Euro Weeklies are pretty Meh for Texas, probably the worst run in a couple of weeks.

I’d rather spend money on cloud seeding during the next artic blast.

My question is why does the government and businesses employ non essential workers? If you're essential then great, if not what does that say about the work or job you have. I'm considered non essential so........ :eek: Anyhow, does the government shutdown have any affect on winter getting started around here? Did they turn off the cold and snow machines?

Just read the article from WaPo. If by chance any NWS workers read this forum thank you for all the work you do and thank you for keeping things running during the shutdown. Just a shout out. :flag:

Between the shutdown and the no winter season so far in TX, people are getting cranky! Somethings need to change!

A good snow storm should lighten the mood around here. Or just a potential one on the distant horizon. Something? Anything? Please?!?!
