Couple posts back I mentioned the jetstream, and we’re now at the end of that phase - evidenced by the huge surf up and down the west coast.

So… What’s next? Do we have a chance at having an actual winter? Yes. The jetstream is now retracting back towards Asia. In this setup, we may see something like this 👆 where we get a “meandering” jetstream that forces cold air over the the intermountain west. This is a classic “snow at sea level” setup.

I’m watching the extended for a return of winter. Still too far out to nail down anything specific.

Was out in the garden yesterday and there’s bugs everywhere, elderflower budding… The garden seems to be waking up with the warm temps. But looking into my crystal ball 🔮 I’m not so sure winter is done with us just yet.
