Some brief thoughts

As you can see from the above latest QPF graphic, NORCAL is in line for some impressive new precip--over 5 inches if the weather wonks are correct. Idaho is once again on the outside looking in.

I'm taking a break from posting here on the Winter0809 Blog until Sunday. We're going to a Dog Sled Derby about an hour north of here tomorrow. Hopefully, I will dream up something for Sunday School.

In the meantime, I'd suggest you take a look at the jetstream--it's very fractured and contorted and weird looking. Likewise, seek out the global water views--Asian continues to package and ship some impressive globs of water vapor. Also, please glance at the 6-10 and 8-14 day forecasts on the CPC link. They are both showing above normal precip. In other words, you've all learned how this drill works---do you own forecasting now!

And, just for grins, Google up Mount Redoubt and keep an eye on it, too. Heck, if you do all that stuff, who needs me to write anything here anyway?

Have a great evening and a wonderful Saturday--we will see you Sunday! Cheers, JP

Enjoy the weather! And the sledding. Your photos last year were fantastic. Don't think you can top those, but who knows? You probably will come up with something fabuloso!
