The local tv-news channel I prefer never reports anything about the subtropical jet-stream, that I ever recall viewing on their broadcast.
Once, a Rex Block pattern set up along the west coast USA and had been there for several days of baffling October weather and then one day - after several days - they all began talking about it, the way I recall
I read through some of that stuff and it's mostly the same
They tell you what is and there is not much about why it is
If they try explaining why it is then it usually just seems to be the same parrot-story of "climate change"
Maybe that's true.
Maybe it is also true the historical records are not accurate
More than 99.999% (my guess ; I haven't done the math) of you cannot prove or disprove historical accuracy.
All you care about is your reckless and constant polluting because you can.
I continue looking for the improbable.
So again that's probably a good reason I am not a scientist.
I am not a UFO-bunker
I am certainly not a clergy lameoid of any flavor of religion garbage peddling superstitions to you gullible masses in your cowardly terror of mortality
No, I am just an old guy (now) with a blog and trying to understand.
None of this fantastic stuff existed for me until May 10, 2006
Gradually I have reached this point
After decades of toil on this activity all I know for certain is I am not in control
I look at the activities of people out there in the world and examine patterns I recognize
If we are all being mind-controlled by foreign-influence then is any person safe?
Weather is the best guide for influence because so many of you pathetic, superstitious peasants out there are so gullible and you are so easily frightened.
I don't have anything to with these people. I have communicated directly or indirectly with none of them.
I labor at this because of one reason: May 10, 2006.
The 878 Days. I remember that one detail clearly.

Spokane, Washington
It’s the middle of winter, but drought covers the U.S. That’s concerning
Jan. 20, 2026
By Ben Noll and Ruby Mellen
Washington Post
January is known for cold weather, snow and a lack of daylight. It’s not known for drought.
But that’s what’s going on across much of the U.S.
More than two-thirds of the country is facing unusual dryness or drought, stretching from the Pacific Northwest to the East Coast, touching every state except California. The stretch since July has been the driest period nationally since 2012.
The drought has come with record-low snowfall and unseasonably warm conditions across the West
Why has it been so dry?
The causes of such a widespread drought are multifaceted, but a few climate drivers have been particularly influential.
Five of the past six years have featured La Niña conditions, a pattern in the tropical Pacific Ocean marked by cooler-than-average sea temperatures.
These cool seas can weaken the southern branch of the jet stream as it blows into the U.S., leading to lower moisture availability for storms, especially across the Southern tier of states during winter – and reducing odds for nor’easters, storms that bring snow to the East Coast.
At the same time, a persistent marine heat wave in the North Pacific Ocean has caused the northern branch of the jet stream to blow strong and farther north, more frequently toward Alaska and occasionally toward the Pacific Northwest and California, where December brought destructive flooding events.
Marine heat waves are becoming more common and intense amid a warming climate.

The January temperatures are here, but the snow is still missing

It's the mildest winter in 10 years, but will it stay that way?
Matt Gray Jan 29, 2025
SPOKANE, Wash.-- There is scientific proof that what you're probably feeling is correct: this winter has been the easiest to deal with in a long time.
In Spokane, this winter is the mildest in the past 10 years and one of the mildest in the 75-year record used by the AWSSI. Record or near-record mild conditions are also happening in Northport in Washington, Lewiston in Idaho, and Heron, Kalispell, and Missoula in Montana.
The AWSSI can also project the rest of this winter using the most similar past years. Most of these projections for Spokane show what you would expect — continued mild conditions for the rest of winter.
However, some of the most similar years to this winter in Spokane, 1989-90, 1993-94, and 2018-19 finish up the season differently.
In each of these years, between 40% and 60% of the snow for the entire season came in February or later. The average is around 25%. The coldest temperature of the season also occurred in February during these winters.
Why should we care? Look at what’s coming up for February, according to forecasts from the Climate Prediction Center. For the next three to four weeks, there’s a good chance for cold and wet weather in the Pacific Northwest. Many long-range climate models have hinted at a pattern change that would bring us a busy end to winter over the past month. As February approaches, it looks more and more likely that at least some of those predictions will pan out.

There's really no point to this note.
By now, you should be completely amazed and dazzled by my original-work published here
This note explores again my original-work process pivoting on "Visitation" and the local weather for me here in Spokane
Conspiracy of real people is one thing, the manipulation - real or imagined - of the weather is another
By this time, we are in the throes of very unseasonable weather locally and I try to better understand cause and effect.
The Accuweather forecast for tomorrow is a maximum of 58F and minimum 50F
Very unusual for Spokane
The National Weather Service in Spokane reports for tomorrow a record high of 60F in year 1939.
Their page reports the average high is 34F and low is 25F for tomorrow here in Spokane
The cause for these unreasonable unseasonable temperatures of (relatively) high warmth is a massive atmospheric-river driving over the state right now
It is massive and extends thousands of miles from the west over the Pacific Ocean, of which the State of Washington has coastline near Seattle, which is about 300 miles west of here in Spokane
What I am looking for is for when this regime breaks
It breaks and winter returns here locally
We must consider it might return with vengeance in effect to us
