Aha! Let’s all meet up in Valdez and pool our dough for a chopper
I don't know, the Aleutian Islands are in the pink zone, I hear they are nice this time of year.
Ok, yeah, but I’ve been to Valdez and I can confirm that there’s a pool table and a toilet there, as well as more bars then a town that size has any right to. I honestly don’t think I’m tough enough for the Aleutians
OK, I'm in. Pool tables and toilets win out over seals and discarded WW2 ordnance.

I can confirm, icy crust at 2500’ and full blown winter at 4000’. It won’t be long now.

I should be enjoying a few blissful, lazy weeks of horses being out 24/7, instead of in stalls overnight. Instead, I am wondering how soon GP will be firing up their new guns for a test drive.

Don't get me wrong. I am seriously looking forward to skiing, but after the wet fall we have had, I wanted to be lazy for a bit

At least the cold has returned to the forecast for the lower 48, it's the first step.

When this shit is going down...



I look two places. First I look here...



... is there any cold air coming our way?  That map ^^ looks a little bit better than the one I posted above that.

Then I go to the ALY long term discussion....

NWS ALY wrote
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

A potentially strong storm system emerges from the central
Plains states on Thursday and approaches our region as early as
Thursday night. This storm may bring widespread precipitation to
the region at some point from Thursday night into Friday.
The fact that the word "precipitation" is used means that there is a chance it could go either way.

Any one else got any hope to post?

Welp everyone is talking about the flip to cold.

The thing is some have been onto this for weeks. Like whatshername.

I never quite understood... some say it's all BS beyond 5 days, others make these longer range calls. Yea sometimes they are wrong, but I want to know...

What are they looking at when they make those calls?

All I can see are days of dry, seasonally cold weather, followed by systems that come with high above average temps.

That means any snow making during the cold patches are washed away, on a weekly basis at this point.

Another rain system is hitting us on Friday.
