BRRRR Its COLD!

What is with all this cold air lately? Our monthly average is now at 35.4! I have not seen this kind of December for awhile. And thanks to James on your comments, to answer your question..the Climate Prediction Center (www.cpc.noaa.gov) has good information on the SOI and the Tropics. You can learn more through their information they have availiable. Back to the current weather, we are currently monitoing a possible major Ice Storm by early next week. We could see some flurries on Saturday night as a weak front makes it through. Next week, cold air will be in place as a stronger and wetter system trys to make it through, could bring over an inch of ice from salem north. The Gorge will get pounded. Another observation, my pond has been frozen for 3 days now, thats how cold it has been. I will be updating the forecast page later tonight. Take Care!

    14.8 degrees this morning (Friday) in Brush Prairie, WA. Almost unheard of around here without snow being on the ground. Strangest December weather I can ever remember. I'm pretty new at checking out the models and such, but I've noticed the GFS is insistent on maintaining our pesky ridge all the way into the new year. Even strengthens it again after a brief eastward migration and period of SW flow. Even some of the latest runs have taken the systems for next week further and further north while splitting them into nothing? I may be off base, but this seems like an el nino-type pattern? Was wondering if you could shed some light on that. Oh, and call the powers that be and have them come pick this ridge up and take it to the dump!
