stuffradio Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Not sure how anyone could get tired of snow in the PNW. You would be surprised how many move to this area from the east because of the lack of snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epiceast Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 There are many reasons to live here... late season snow is one of the negatives. Even my kids are saying the same thing and all of our neighbors that I have talked to as well. But ultimately we likely see more snow and just have to deal with it!

TT-SEA Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Gated neighborhood lol I am using the term neighbors loosely... I really mean people in the area. Including the endless parade of kids that are over here with my kids and their parents who we talk to all the time. Last Friday when were still in Florida... my son showed me about 15 posts on Instragram from their friends bemoaning the snow that here that day. I remember most of them being very excited about snow in December. Human nature.

Tenochtitlan Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I've definitely had my snow appetite sated by this winter. It would be cool if it snowed again, but I'd rather it snow a lot or not at all, I'm not excited by one or two inches at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SSTA's map show we do not have Nina right now. But the atmosphere obviously can vary from the actual ENSO state. Although some people said the atmosphere was in a Nina state throughout the entire 2015-16 Nino (not Phil).

Common early spring pattern for the weekend, as cool upper low willsit offshore. This low will send occasional disturbances in the flowinto the Pac NW.
