FV3 had the low further north, but still some energy goes into CA, and it is pretty weak up here.  But that is probably to be expected with the first front that tries to break down the ridge.  

 

I'm still much more optimistic- these trends are good. Much better than the models last year, ugh.

I had a White Christmas last year.

 

Last year was okay- the White Christmas was the only good thing in the whole month actually (I was in Bend for the White Christmas..)

00Z ECMWF delays the front next weekend even more and then really washes it out when it finally moves inland on Monday.

 

It shows a few showers near the Sound and down in Oregon tomorrrow but its basically dry for most of the region all the way through next weekend.

 

And the front next Monday looks pretty weak now.

The 00Z ECMWF looks pretty good at day 10... a deep trough looks like its about descend down us from the NW which should finally be good for mountain snow.

Praying for driest December on record.

 

You are on your own with that wish... I want mountain snow in December.   I don't care about rain in December but that usually comes with a good mountain snow pattern.    Going to be almost the middle of the month and Snoqualmie Summit will still be closed.

Greatest non-weenie of my childhood, closely followed by Steve Pool.

Rich Marriott was the king of non-weenie, and killed so many of my excited snow buzz back in the day. I would get so mad at him when he would say “ 34 degrees and possible snowflake or two above 800ft” when the others would be hyping possible snow.

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

I used to drive my mom nuts bouncing between channel 4 5 and 7 at about 5:18 pm.

 

 

I did the same thing to my parents growing up in Minnesota... it was channels 4, 5, and 11 there.   :)

We had two VCR’s in the house so I would tape the two channels and watch the 3rd between 5:18 and 5:27pm and then compare between Renner, Pool, and Wappler.

The long range always seems to look good.  I just hope the delay in the storms hitting us is more due to the weakening of the first storms trying to break down the ridge, which the models don't realize early on.

Never happen.

 

 

Might not even get 3 inches.

 

There is barely any precip at all over the next 10 days.    Its starting to get better late on day 10 though.

Marriott was definitely the ultimate buzz kill. Even snow forecasts he dared to issue were tempered with dread.

I think we all have the same experiences.    I bet we all have a gene mutation that makes us obsessed with weather.   :lol:

I don't care about skiing, just snow in IMBY....

 

 

Mountain snow matters for more than skiing... its just nice that what is good for skiing is also good for the water supply.

Same here I use to watch those three up here B.C. as our t.v. weather personal were more like comedians than actual certified meteorologists, nowaday's there more serious how times have changed, actually there was one on C.B.C. t.v. Bob Fortune he use to used a chalk board he was more professional. The one on CTV was Norm Grohman he was a comedian back in the 70's Shawnigan lake may remember.

      Middle East Conflict of 2023-2024

      Please find me any text where I show even shred of support for Hamas. I would have thought that I have made it crystal clear my positions on these past 19 pages. I will leave it up to you to interpret what I write however you like, as you do anyway. And where exactly would the Palestinians evacuate to? Egypt? Jordan? Lebanon? Syria? The U.S.? Israel? Nobody wants them for the same reasons why nobody really wants any refugees: They are a strain on the adoptive country. The surrounding countries already have a lot of Palestinian refugees. You probably also forgot about that blockade and barbed wire wall as well, huh? It's pretty heavily protected... except, for some reason, on Oct. 7th. Their total poverty and lack of travel options due to both Israel's blockade and Hamas' actions kinda makes them trapped in their own land. And quite frankly, why the f*ck should they evacuate? It's their land. Try telling a Texan to get off their own land. Remember Waco? We're not a country that likes to take orders from outsiders. You overlooked a lot, my guy. Let's not delude ourselves that somehow we are any different than the Palestinians living in Gaza or The West Bank. If we were in their shoes, many Americans would act exactly the same with the same anger and alignment with extremists or worse. Enemy of our enemy and all that. We live in absolute luxury compared to the Palestinians! That does not stop us from having idiots bombing abortion clinics due to their stupid beliefs. We have gang wars. We have white supremacists scattered across the country. Hell, we have mass shootings all the time! What's our excuse? No country backed by a world superpower is stealing our land, imprisoning/blockading us, and calling us the aggressors at the same time. Our sheer luck of not having to live their lives allows us to pretend that we are different. We're not. Take a look in the mirror and thank your God that you do not have to live like someone in Gaza while some doofus called Mr. Marine Layer judges you. Christianity preaches gratitude and empathy, right?

      April 2024 Observations and Discussion

      Already down to 30 here. Under a frost advisory, but should probably be a freeze warning.

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      I really love wet periods this time of year. Everything is so lush and green/blooming, and the way the rain smells. The contrast of brooding dark skies and a vibrant landscape. Totally different vibe than rainy periods October-March.
