February Snowfalls 2/10-2/12, Part III & IV

Recommended Posts

Ended up with 13" of snow in the past 24 hours. There's generally about 24" on the ground but more in some spots where there was some drifting yesterday.

Currently sitting at 32.4 with a light rain snow mix and listening to the cracking of branches in the woods behind me. Looks like its going to be a busy day of shoveling out my driveway again.

34 and rain here on the East Shore of Lake Tapps. Rain all night with the occasional mix with light sleet. The snow on the deck has consolidated by half down to ~5”. Rubber boots will get a workout the next few days.

 

This whole pattern, from macro to micro climates has been absolutely fascinating to watch.

Agreed there. A lot of moving parts for the whole region. Almost like one big atmospheric science lesson.

I'll be a man and admit I am a bit jealous of folks up north. Just a few tweaks and it could have been us too, but oh well. Our time to shine will come, plus hard to complain about 23" of snow. The February record of 31" is still in play, though with today being a bust so far it may stand another year. Truly historic what we are seeing up there though. A true throwback event. And I think historically it will look good for the whole region, it is just hard to appreciate the positives down here when places up north are doing so much better. Really cool to see though.

Looks like we aren't following the 2015 or 2016 path this year. ;)

 

 

Definitely not.

 

Lets see what the rest of 2019 has in store.   There is no mold for this year.   But I am very optimistic!

FWIW the models are trending much cooler with the post frontal airmass dropping 850s over PDX to about -5.5C. Yesterday at this time they were only dropping them to about -3C. So if moisture does end up stalling over us during the overnight hours we could see some dynamic cooling. 

 

Still looks like the next 7-10 days will be quite cool. The GFS continues to hint at a warmup after that time period while the 12z GEM came in very cold at day 10.

Agreed. It's painful in the moment (I'll never forget my jealousy in December 1996), but looking back it will be nice to appreciate the historic nature of this pattern. Anything that affects the western lowlands has special meaning from my perspective even when not in my backyard.

Looks like heavy snow falling in the North Coast Range.

Unfortunately I cannot post pics with no internet and very weak cell signal. Need to worry about digging out my driveway before working on the dishes. Anyway waiting at the main road for my neighbor to pick me up so I don’t have to hike to his house to grab his tractor. He can’t get his gate open yet. Anyway lots of huge chunks of snow falling from the trees along with some branches I am noticing while I’m waiting. Temp is 32.9. Snow has mostly stopped.

Good grandkid stories in the making

Crazy flooding in scappoose and St. Helens! I’ve never witnessed such flooding here in 30 years. Every other back road has water rushing across it. Highways have standing water in many places too.

I figured it might get crazy out that way the way the heavy rain was stalled over the same spot for so many hours.

51 and dry.  This whole event has been a total non-event here.  Sucks to have not even had any appreciable cold out of it. I would imagine we are one of the very few places in the PNW that had their coldest temp back on Dec 7.

 

Consistent 15-20 degree temp gradient between here and BLI.

 

Time to move...

It also stings a little less that this month is going to end up as a decent winter weather month down here (6.1" at PDX), and potentially top 10 cold for February. December 1996 was pretty much a torch down here aside from a gorge ice storm and a 1" snow event a couple days after Christmas which was sandwiched between days in the upper 50s. 

 

So regionally I think this month already blows away December 1996.

. I got my fair share of winter snow but definitely missed out on the HUGE event that played out over the last 24 hours.

Had to go through a 2 hour calm down Jim moment and let go...lol.

Oh well...I got my power

Per cams it just switched to wet snow at Murphy Hill (650') between Salem and Lincoln City.
