Time series plot depicting predicted Nino 3.4 region ocean temperature anomalies from the latest (Mar 2026) ECMWF ensemble. It depicts an extremely rapid rise in such temperatures, from modest negative anomalies to strong positive anomalies, by mid-summer 2026--indicative of a transition from weak-moderate La Nina conditions to moderate-strong El Nino conditions over just a few months.
Whew.
All signs are increasingly pointing to a significant, if not strong to very strong, El Niño event. I'll have more to say in coming weeks & months, but for now I'll just say that this is increasingly likely to become a major regional-to-global climate driver in 2026-2027.

I'm sure you'll all be thrilled to learn that in the last 24 hours, Providence has seen nearly triple Denver's *seasonal* snowfall (32.8" vs. 13.4")
Wow! Officially the biggest snowstorm in RI history. Providence will make a run at 40 inches
Mets: next time someone bugs you for using the term “Bomb Cyclone” and says it’s a made up term… show them this white paper from 46 years ago. When the term Bombogenesis came to be. A mid-latitude pressure drop of 24 mb in 24 hours. In fact, I think bombogenesis should be a kitchen table term :)
This is Denver's least snowy-winter-to-date in 125 years.

Hail in Portland, OR yesterday
Watch as a massive crack forms in the ice on Lake Erie.

Oh Captain, my Captain. @notcanes.bsky.social
Big squirrel...
Portland memorial ride for victims of ICE.
The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.
This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.
They must be released immediately.
There are FIVE Solidarity Bike Rides on Saturday Jan 31, most linking up with the 2PM Irving Park Vigil Ride for those murdered by ICE.
From Milwaukie, Westside, Woodstock, Ladds
We are stronger together.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
Then that lack of cold/snow in the West, sorry snowpack!
Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE

His name was Alex Pretti. He was a Legal Observer. He was a federal employee. He was a nurse that took care of wounded, ill, and disabled military veterans at a nearby Veterans Administration facility.
He was not dangerous. He was not a threat. ICE is a state-sponsored terrorist organization.

⚠️~132 million: Number of people under alerts for snow, sleet, & freezing rain.
A large, long-duration winter storm is expected to bring widespread heavy snow, sleet, & freezing rain from the Southern Rockies & Plains beginning Friday (Jan. 23), spreading eastward toward New England this weekend.

WSO probabilities for snowfall totals exceeding each forecast office's warning criteria are at least 50% from central New Mexico to Long Island. That is one large >80% area from central KY to The Jersey Shore too. Snow will fall, lots of snow, over a large swath of the country.

Impeach now. Who the fuck actually talks like this? Let alone on the literal world stage.
Ha!
Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Pete Buttigieg. The text says that in a country that amended its Constitution to ban alcohol and later reversed it, the U.S. could also pass an amendment clarifying that corporations are not people and money is not speech. Below the text is a photo of Buttigieg standing on a stage holding a microphone, speaking to an audience seated behind him.
Well said. And if the federal laws won't do this, the states, which grant corporate status, can and should.
I know this is all just very stupid but come on
The latest on the major winter storm and extreme cold expected later this week.
PDX rarely disappoints
