Mark looked like a little kid for a long time so maybe that was also him!

I am a basically never a DIY guy but the pest control prices had gotten so ridiculous I did a bunch of dumb internet research and started doing my own shit for ants/spiders. We used Aspen Pest and it worked but wasn't cheap!

I dunno why I said read there I read lots of local news I just meant I don't read like the local tv station news. There may be up and coming folks on these channels for weather I just never see them.

I almost never watch/read local news but Mark Nelsen for sure #1. Big part of my interest in learning about models came from his blog. I'll put Matt Zaffino and Rod Hill at a tie for 2 since they both seem good but honestly I barely pay attention to local mets in serious scenarios beyond Mark.

.LONG TERM...Thursday through Monday...In the short term
discussion we introduced the Atmospheric River (AR) and some of
it`s impact potential for Wednesday. However, that is not the
end of the story. A great place to start is to look at
Climatology and our "Extreme Forecast Index". This tool allows
us to see how the current set up deviates from what is
considered climatologically normal. For Thursday, the anomaly
is quite strong for the Integrated water vapor transport and
QPF. This is our first sign that we could be looking at a high
impact scenario. As we then look at some of the synoptic
features, there are a few that really stand out. Within the jet
stream we sit just south of the main jet streak which, at 500
mb, is nearly 122 kt (that`s very strong). This feature can be
associated with significant lift and more active weather. We
also see a band of warm air streaming in which has a much higher
capacity for moisture than a colder airmass. These features
remain nearly stationary through Saturday morning; meaning we
will see nearly 72 hours of continuous rain.

Last night's euro has 1.5" of rain by the time Thursday rolls around. Then NWS has this for Thurs-Sat in their forecast discussion ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. Enjoy the sun for a sec while you can folks!

I like it being lighter later so the time change isn't all bad BUT the rule is I get to show up late at work for a few days sorry that's just how it goes

NWS has any snow above 1000 feet might see something in the air if we're lucky I guess

Gotta think that unless things get REAL ugly that Phil has until the World Cup break to turn things around. Still integrating new players, injuries, Vancouver is good, etc but what a horror show so far.

If I'm MP I pull the trigger at the break if we're not in playoff position.

I thought the man of the match was Ortiz. Kelsy played his guts out for 37 minutes too.

Apparently Vegas has not forgotten our recent form at home vs Vancouver basically +300 at home. The disrespect!
