WTF is with this bleeping weather?

[Homebrewer]

1.4in  here yesterday...raining hard with a radar blob that stretches to the Oregon border, not supposed to let up all day.

3+ inches easily expected before midnight.

Rock and mud slides also in the forecast.

F it...I'm going back to bed.

Richard Hendrickson, who recorded the weather daily for 85 years for the National Weather Service, dies at 103.

 

Nice story.

[Amazing Larry]

Sunny and in the 70's with a little less than an 8% chance of Cespedes by the end of the week.

I wouldn't be surprised if that dried up as well.

[Hollyw00d]

70 degrees with 90% humidity sucks

[gotbeer]

2015 is warmest year on record, NOAA and NASA say

[fan_since79]

East coast bracing for weekend blizzard...will affect 15 states...heavy snow, winds, the works

 

[Adam]

I saw that earlier this morning.

What happens if the current high pressure to the southwest is another stupid resilient high pressure ridge not leaving for months?

What is with all of these resilient high pressure ridges over the past 5 years?

Climate change?

But of course people like Lifetime would laugh at any notion of climate change. Did that guy ever change his opinion on anything?

 

Enjoy the nice weather

Nice weather for 5 straight years gets boring, and destroys lawns and golf course fairways.

 

Meanwhile, the NOAA continues to put out LOL forecasts today, predicting well above normal rain for SoCal in February/March.

Uhh NOAA, virtually nothing in the form of rain is predicted by accuweather through February.

NOAA = ROTFLMFAO. 

[Homebrewer]

Keep drinking beer and pissing AO, because that is where your golf course water comes from down there.

Do your part to keep your fairways green.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Just as long as NCal and the Owens Valley get the rain and snow its been getting, and LA keeps stealing water from there, SCal will be fine. Not Sure what's happening with the Colorado River, heard the flow has been historically low.

[Angel Oracle]

If only I could drink that much Guinness to help the lawns and fairways.

[Homebrewer]

every little bit helps

[Sully151]

Why would you trust Accuweather over NOAA?

My lawn looks good. 

[Angel Oracle]

NOAA already somewhat butchered the January-March rain prediction for SoCal, saying way above normal.

January has had only 2-3 inches so far, with virtually no more forecast.

February and March will need to be crazy rain months to meet that prediction.

 

Also, November-current SoCal precipitation (generally only 3-4 inches) is at an all time low for El Nino years.

It sucks when you have to do yardwork in a tshirt and shorts.

You do realize that Accuweather predicted less than a quarter of an inch about a week before that early January storms, right? They're all using the same satellites, the fact that you take over a month in advance forecast to heart is laughable. AO = Aneurysm Oracle  

[Adam]

I don't know but I'm starting to peg AO as a glass half-empty kind of guy...

you can jump to all the conclusions you want, but i'm going to wait for more evidence.

AO's glass tipped over a long time ago.

[Angel Oracle]

My Guinness is half-empty.     That doesn't suck though, that last half still tastes good.

Where would he get the water to fill a glass half way? Didn't you hear? We are in a drought.

[Adam]

AO should on the east coast right now. No drought

[Hollyw00d]

He would move there but it rains too much

NWS warning:

A BLIZZARD WARNING MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. FALLING AND BLOWING SNOW WITH STRONG WINDS AND POOR VISIBILITIES ARE LIKELY. THIS WILL LEAD TO WHITEOUT CONDITIONS... MAKING TRAVEL EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. DO NOT TRAVEL. IF YOU MUST TRAVEL... HAVE A WINTER SURVIVAL KIT WITH YOU. IF YOU GET STRANDED... STAY WITH YOUR VEHICLE.

 

Who in his right mind would even think of traveling during a blizzard??
