High Desert Mat? Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I don’t know about those huge snow piles in the parking lots up there. We just had those 3 days ago about the same size and now their easily in half. It’s amazing what south winds and warmth can do. They will most likely be gone by mid March barring any “true” warmth that may come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow_wizard Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 This month will go down in the record books for sure. YVR's average high/low so far are 2.2/-4.2 (or 36.0F/24.4F). What's even more amazing to me is the warmest temp reached at YVR so far is 8.5C which of course occurred on the first of the month. This winter has definitely been redeemed! I never thought it could or would happen. This is really extraordinary. We have had stand alone great Februaries before, but for combination of deep cold, snow, and duration this one is already near the top. We have a good shot at one more good round too.

Geos Posted February 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 The fv3 was the closest of the bunch with snow depths over here. It showed like 21 inches here by Tuesday night 4 days before and i had 26 on ground but 36 fell.Yeah it was actually not far off here either.

snow_wizard Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I had the hung dog look as well! Frustrating, I kept trying to convince myself this is a good thing. This type of snow causes damage to the landscapes but I really did want the chaos ! I will say I find the southern branch snow events to be much less enjoyable than what we had last Friday. The southern branch ones can get messy very easily. My front yard is a mess from the branches that fell due to ice accumulation. My area may have been the only place to have ice with this one.

snow_wizard Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I don't think much could have been done to help protect the dairy cows. Like that guy said this is probably a 100 year event for them. It was great seeing people come together though and help each other out so more cows could be saved. Wow, I just read an article about the Queensland flooding. Looks like more than 300,000 cattle died. It seems now more than ever that extreme weather from cold, snow, avalanches, floods, hurricanes, tornados, droughts, wildfires, heatwaves etc. are happening at a higher frequency. The lower solar cycles may be coming home to roost. It is thought the weaker solar cycles cause a slower (more blocky) atmosphere which causes the more extreme events. It's highly possible the last half of the 20th century and first part of this century were unrealistic compared to a norm of more severe weather. 1 Death To Warm Anomalies!

Front Ranger Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Speaking of Palmer it appears Feb 1949 with 60.5" is the last time they had insane snowfall in Feb. Pretty nice company. Too bad Palmer wasn't recording snow this month. Would have been nice to see where this month stacked up against 1936 and 1949 there. A forum for the end of the world.

snow_wizard Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Wow! The monthly average for Bellingham through yesterday was 28.8. That is pretty crazy.

Bryant Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Hmmm not great.You're kidding right? Why are you even focusing on 11+ days at this point when there appears to be chances in the coming week? It's like people who wait and wait for snow, and when it finally starts snowing, they want to see when it's going to snow next instead of enjoying what's happening at that current time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
