The Weather More SNOW?

UW Atmospheric Science professor, weather guru, and awesome-name-possessor Cliff Mass says bundle up this weekend and that Sunday could bring more snow. Details from his (awesome) blog:

...the fun begins on Saturday as a major Pacific ridge shifts eastward and an upper trough moves southward down its eastern flanks. Behind the trough much colder air will flood the region on Saturday into Sunday. On Saturday, the associated showers will probably be rain...but on Sunday things get interesting. The winds will be westerly, so there will be rain shadowing, but the models are insistent about the creation of a Puget Sound convergence zone...and if they are right it will be cold enough for snow (see model snow forecast).

Insistent models!

Cliff Mass is a great atmospheric science professor. It's a shame that he is such a dick about K-12 math education, though.

I love Cliff Mass. I went to see him speak at Town Hall on the 25th, and unlike some other lectures I've been to that manage to make interesting topics painfully dull, he made a boringish topic really enjoyable.

Snow, however, is no longer enjoyable.

And of course, with more than THREE WHOLE DAYS to prepare, people will STILL COMPLAIN about the fact that they couldn't instantaneously get from point A to point B via their preferred method of conveyance.

Seriously, could all you whiners just move the fuck back to Stockton, or, Detroit, or Charlotte, or whatever miserable hell-mouth of a city you came from? Things would be so much better for the rest of us to not have to listen to your constant whinging about how awful it is here around here, and how everything is so fucking BETTER in that shit-hole 'burg you left to come here.

If it's so fucking great somewhere else - why aren't you there already?

I'd love the snow here if it would just stick around and let me get some decent sledding in.

Instead. like a cat padding through a darkened room, it teases me with a soft blanket that melts before I can enjoy it.

Rats, I'm supposed to connect through SeaTac on Sunday afternoon. This could get ugly.
