Pineapple Express

It's official. The fucking rain is here.

"A one-day pineapple express has soaked the southern bc coast. 50 to 175mm of rain has drenched the area since the rain began Sunday afternoon. An additional 10 to 20 mm is possible before the rain eases tonight."

definition: The Pineapple Express is a Pacific Ocean subtropical jet stream that brings warm moist air from Hawaii (where pineapples are grown) to the U.S. West Coast states of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, as well as the Canadian province of British Columbia.

Madden-Julian oscillation drives Pineapple Express.The conditions are often created by the Madden-Julian oscillation, an equatorial rainfall pattern which feeds its moisture into this pattern.

...and I thought they were just a good diuretic...who knew?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
