It’s sorta moving out
This storm system just didn’t want to leave. It kind of hit some areas twice.
These were estimated precipitation totals through ~6am Saturday.
Just some of the blizzard coverage (WaPo article too).
It looks like 1982-1983 (green line) was quite the year for “California Snow Water Content”. At times this season (blue line), we’ve been at the same level or above 1982-1983, so it’ll be interesting to see where we end up.
An evolving forecast
This was from Saturday morning.
Here’s a bit more of a description of what a derecho is.
And then this was Sunday night. There was a ton of messaging going out on possible and confirmed tornadoes.
One last look.
Say it with me, “evaporative cooling”
Evaporation can cause cooling, that’s pretty cool.
I’m sorry, a what now?
You’ve probably heard of Nor’easters before. Apparently, there can be two types of them (Miller type-A and B, named after the researcher J.E.Miller). They both eventually head northeast, but A’s start in the south and B’s start in the west. There are a few other differences if you care to read more about them.
El Niño article on Grist
This is a pretty detailed look at El Niño. It covers past impacts as well as potential ones moving into this year and beyond.
That makes sense
Although I was kind of hoping the answer was “magic”.
Looks magical anyway.
That’s it fam
See you next time 💙
I learn so much reading these :) Good for my brain. And they are funny.
