WTF is with this bleeping weather?

[fan_since79]

All three of Wisconsin’s largest cities yesterday saw the highest temperatures observed on any December, January, or February day in more than a century of record keeping. 71 degrees in Milwaukee in February?!

Nate must be in heaven.

40% chance of rain today (well, 100% since it is raining lightly right now) and then NOTHING for the rest of the week!

Hallelujah. 

What a winter. I don't think there is a front door/door jam in town that isn't swollen out of shape with the constant moisture. On the other hand, all the cars and trucks around here are unusually clean.

Supposed to approach the 80's next week in L.A.  About time for some good golf weather.

[Redondo]

Raining here today and looks like through the night.

Supposed to have 10 consecutive days of sun. Bet that is bullshit

I blame @Angel Oracle yet once again for ruining baseball.

This might be the warmest February I can recall living in the Midwest. I love it, but it seems like we've had pretty easy winters for two years in a row now (not out of the woods yet... March can be horrible some years). It just feels like we've gotta be in for a horrific one next year. We've really only had one or two rough weeks this year.

Heading back to Tahoe this weekend. Hopefully don't have the transpo shitshow as when I was there two weekends ago (80 closed on the way in, pothole blowing tires on the way out so I ended up driving 180 miles on a spare donut). 

Weather looks fantastic.

Went to the range today.  Almost put on sunblock.  Such a nice day.  We need another 365 days like today.

I'll be at the Scholl Canyon driving range at 10:30 Sunday morning. Feel free to come and join me.

See your mail.  But I'd like to join you.  But will be giving blood, so can't make it.  I haven't given in like 20 years.  But with a friend fighting leukemia, and having the health scare.  It's something even golf can't break.

We had Thunder-snow today in town, at about 2000ft. It was a heavy downpour of thick huge snowflakes, almost a whiteout.

Accompanied by thunder. It didn't stick for more than a few hours but there was a lot of moisture runoff from the system.

Well f*ck. 

Was gorgeous Friday and Saturday, and then got 2-3' of snow Saturday night and it just kept snowing so the 80 and 50 got shut down.

Took us nearly 13 hours to get home. Left at 4:15pm, got into the city at 5am. Lots of just being parked in traffic.

I heard snow levels were really low up there too, like 1,500' in the foothills. I drove through a good amount of hail on my way home from the North Bay yesterday. Crazy weather day.

While this article is a bit technical, even for someone like myself who follows weather patterns, it helps to explain why we are getting such crazy, wet weather.

Sierra passes in the winter are just a bad bet.

Some epic Tahoe snow fallout

So I'm trying to figure out this picture.  Is it a real one.  And is that the back hatch of a jeep?  That's just gnar.

[NJHalo]

I found it on the CHP-Truckee FB page. It is real.

Apparently it was parked at the end of a driveway when this winter began. They didn't use this vehicle regularly, and did not keep up with snow removal (Obviously!). As the snow melted/compacted/got heavier, it acted like a glacier, and slowly pushed the jeep out into the road a bit. When Cal-Trans got a break, and worked on widening the narrow roads, they clipped the back of this car since it was not visible in the snow pack.

 

Here is a picture of the parking lot at Alpine Meadows Ski Resort to give you some perspective

And here I am, looking at the forecast.  @Tank Looks like that sunblock that I have in my bag will get used on Sunday.  It will be such a glorious anti AO day.

[Blarg]

I've been driving to work with the top down. I'll need to use sunblock today.
