The Europeans have a nice graphical display:

Why we have had this persistent pattern? I can't tell you. I asked that question at a department seminar at a real expert on the subject--he didn't know either! Interestingly, over the next several days there will be more weather action in California than in the Northwest.

The ECMWF is awesome, but doesnt show that nice ridge from a week ago. It does show the split flow and a little short wave trough though.

That little trough made it a rather cool one today

I havent been watching the weather too to closely this winter...hasnt been much of one anyways

Just came back from Trophy's sister hut the Discovery.
Awesome skiing all week long.

There is a bit less snow than there was last year, and it was warmer than last year, but the quality was awesome.
