Why would you want to dress your dog up? Don't you remember the guy who got mauled because he tried to put a sweater on his dog?

He's a fashionista/golden retriever mix.

Wellp, winter is over in Tucson as of early February again.

For I think the 3rd straight year now temps throughout February are forecasted to be consistently 10-20 degrees above average.

I don't like how winter only seems to last from Thanksgiving to Jan 31 now and then we just hover in the mid to upper 80s from early Feb to Memorial Day.

Ive got my fingers crossed for 1 more cold week. This was Feb 20, 2013

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 11:20 am

Local weather guy out here in the central coast said we have had more rain in January than the last 5 Januarys combined.

Sorry Jefe...

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 11:28 am

yep I saw forecasts of up to 89 degrees in Tucson on Friday. almost 20 degrees above average. i just hope the weather is nice for the beer crawl on Saturday the 18th when i'm walking around downtown for hours.

Was supposed to drive down to San Diego tomorrow after work to see my son.

Decided against it.

An intense winter storm is expected to dump the heaviest rains in 10 to 20 years over Los Angeles and neighboring areas from late Thursday to early Saturday. Flash flooding and mudslides are expected.

It's supposed to pour all weekend long. Can't wait.

This was supposed to be the snowiest winter in years. Meanwhile we've had about 1.5" the last six weeks and doesn't look like there's going to be any the rest of the month. Whoops!

This was supposed to be a dry La Nina year in California, after having a very wet El Nino last year, and a mild but wet El Nino the year before that.

So NWS 0 for 3 here.

60 MPH winds at the beach in SoCal and the storm hasnt even hit here yet. LA looks like a freaking hurricane though.

55 and rainy here Sunday. More snow on Mt Lemmon!

State highways where I live (northern Santa Barbara county) all closed, 1, 166, 154.

101 still open, although some lanes were closed this morning in central SB county.

This is a typical monsoon for Tucson I know, but us out here aren't used to it.

There's no rotation to it at all.

Looks like I'll but in TUS first week of March. So what's the weather prognostication?

I'll be in South Dakota and Wyoming in mid April too (I don't wanna think about it).

And Calgary and Banff better be on their best behavior by the last 10 days or so of April too by gosh.
