And mid-40s in the Seattle area on Wednesday.

 

In fact... every day after Monday is in the mid-40s or higher in the Seattle area.

Not very surprising without a fraser outflow. Cold air is bottled up east of the cascade so the gorge outflow will benefit PDX.

That's crazy. I had no idea they beat it, especially by that much.

 

Looks like Quillayute tied 1989 for coldest Feb. as well, at 35.0. Pretty amazing they accomplished this without a top tier Arctic blast like that year. The persistence has been off the charts, obviously.

Looks like widespread low 50s from Salem north except for a small sliver along the Columbia River. Even Larch Mtn up to 54!

Eugene hanging tough at 39. I think the airmass early next week could produce some pretty impressive lows even without snowpack. 

Only managed a low of 30 last night with several hours of clear skies and an 18" snow depth. 

 

Salem's sub-50 streak ends at 26 days. Still impressive. Hopefully PDX can hang onto their's today.

EURO says PDX hits 50 today.

 

Does it make you angry that I mentioned it or are you employing some kind of reverse psychology in an effort to prevent it?

Will need for those Gorge winds to surface soon if they have a shot. EURO says that today, PDX hits 50. Troutdale just 41 on the hour with gusts to 33mph.

Salem has now had two top 10 coldest December's and a top 10 cold February since 2013. Now we just need to add a top 10 January, I think 2017 came in like 15th or something like that.

I keep wondering how the combined December/January average for 2016/17 stacks up compared to other years. PDX could hit 50 today. It seems like it should rank up there considering how consistently chilly both months were in many locations. Seems unusual to have a solidly cool December/January back to back.

The 12Z EURO still shows an overrunning snow/ice storm for the Willamette Valley on Wednesday morning. Looks like all ice except for PDX Metro.

Nice! Pretty impressive considering the 12Z EURO has them hitting 50 today...

Just a brief look it was the coldest Dec/January combo at SLE since 1984-85.

It appears this was the 4th coldest February on record at Medford. Behind only 1956, 1933, 1964. They also narrowly edged out PDX with 6.8" of snow.

Harts Pass Snotel, WA averaged 12.5 degrees last month. 

 

Looks like this was the coldest Feb average at any Snotel or RAWS station in WA state history! The RAWS network went online in 1985, and the Snotel network around 1980. The previous coldest Feb. average was 12.8, at "83 Monument" RAWS in February 1989. 

 

For official stations, the Feb. average at Tonasket 11NE COOP was 13.3 degrees - coldest for Feb. at any official WA station since 1936! Narrowly beat out the 13.6 degree average at Twisp 10W in February 1956. In February 1936, a number of stations in eastern WA averaged in the single digits.

No idea how you even get a blurry view of this... takes 10 seconds to capture and upload. :)

Yes Jesse has been giving me non stop tutorials the last two days straight. My life is now much enriched due to Jesse saving me from blurry PNA images. I tried just emphasizing on the last month that is why I would zoom in...but whatever.

Feels hot out today. TIM!!!

 

 

My son and I were just sitting on the deck and it felt very warm... even though the backyard is covered in snow still.     And even though we personally experienced many days in the low 80s in the last month.

My Junipers are still refusing to let the snow go.

 

In late January we had daylilies coming up on our rock wall... which happens to also be where we need to throw the snow from the driveway.   So they were buried under several feet of compacted snow at one point.  The snow is now melting back from the top of the rock wall and has exposed some of them and they look the same as before it started snowing... green and standing up and ready to continue growing.     Some of our bushes don't look so good.   Natural pruning I guess.
