Right, not all atmospheric rivers are "pineapple expresses." A pineapple express is an atmospheric river that originates in the tropics near Hawaii, hence the name.
I imagine Seth Rogen named the movie "Pineapple Express" because he's from Vancouver and we hear a lot about the weather phenomenon around these parts.

In the PNW, I can't think of any meteorological events that could be labeled an "atmospheric river" that did not originate in the tropics. So I think the two terms are synonyms, at least in the PNW. When we get huge rain events they are almost always warm, with high freezing levels, and a moisture plume that stretches off the coast towards Hawaii.
A good example of an atmospheric river/pineapple express is setting up for Thursday morning:

Pineapple Express happens in ski season, the rest are Atmospheric Rivers. It's the temp spike in a Pineapple that really matters, will it be schmooo or will it be deep pow.

It's crazy how much the Nicola River moved. It's decades/centuries of erosion over three days. There's a rail line to but I don't know what happened to it.
If you have a problem & think that someone else is going to solve it for you then you have two problems.

That's insane. I've driven that stretch a few times. I don't know how you come back from that type of damage.

stumbled onto this old photo in one of my folders I'd forgotten I had...can't remember where I ripped it from probably 10-15 years ago, but seems relevant this fall!
