Moderators, just wondering if we can have the emoji limit taken off if we all promise not to get to carried away?

Emoji limit aka the hawk attack rule. Having said that I thought the limit was 5 per post (comment), but the limit seems to be combined with another person's quote .

That was one of my issues. If we could at least make it so that the limit only applies to each individual response, that would be cool. Because otherwise you may have to cut off the emojis from someone else's quote, which isn't that big of a deal I guess.

If only that ridge would amplify...

Interesting article written by Cliff Mass about why we are so dry. Essentially, the atmosphere is an El Nino state even though the SST's would suggest neutral conditions. This reminds me of last winter when the SST's were in a weak El Nino state but the atmosphere clearly was stuck in La Nina regime. While Cliff did not mention this, I feel it begs the question as to whether El Nino and La Nina really have that great of an impact on our climate or whether its just been a bit of a coincidence that certain patterns have been associated with various phases. That, or the fact that there are so many factors to the climate and sometimes the atmosphere will just behave contrary to what the current SST's suggest. That is probably more likely to be true. In any case, the atmosphere is clearly stuck in an El Nino at the moment.

Well yeah , it's the 17th , the eve of the great cold invasion of 2019. It has to rest and get border clearance before continuing its march to the west coast.

Johnny's troops are massing at the AB border.

Remember this...any forecast past about 4-5 days out is sketchy at best. Even our buddy Jay said this
Then there is Accuweather's 90 day forecast like wtf?

Perhaps I can increase it slightly.

I'll increase it because the modification can't see the difference if they are quoted or not.
I upped it from 5 to 8. Let's see how that goes.

Yes..only problem is
#patternlock would suggest splitty/dry in that 14 day stretch. Sad yet true. Yet hopefully wrong.
