  1. Proud dad moment. Son was offered assistant manager position at les schwab yesterday! The years of me drilling work ethic into his brain worked.

  2. -2F here with light snow and 38" of snow on the ground with the coldest air still yet to come... Pretty sure we saw a Polar Bear walking by this morning.

  5. Maybe this 150 block can be as persistent as the Greenland vortex had been. A nice multi-year stretch with plenty of chances at the dartboard.

  7. Holy moly the Euro looks crazy next week. A solid Gorge driven event for Portland would really put a nice bow on this whole thing. Especially so historically late in the season.

  8. Picked up about 2-3” here in the Northwoods which put the snow depth to just over 40” after a 60”+ February. I won’t ever say it’s too much, but holy hell it’s a lot. Running out of places to put it. Finally looks like a quiet stretch of weather up here though, albeit very cold beginning tomorrow.

  9. Looks like records will be broken in our area in terms of temps for the first week of march. SECOND COLDEST FIRST WEEK OF MARCH IS PROBABLE: - Based on today`s observations and our current official forecast through the 7th, both Grand Island/Hastings are expected to endure the 2nd-coldest first week of March on record. The top spot currently belongs to 1960, when the first week averaged an incredible 28 degrees below normal at Grand Island, and 26 degrees below normal at Hastings!

  10. This is impressive for us this winter. This write up came from Hastings NWS yesterday. LONGEST STREAK AT-OR-BELOW FREEZING IN DECADES? - Although both Grand Island/Hastings actually briefly touched 32 degrees today, this was still the 15th-CONSECUTIVE DAY that both sites remained AT-OR-BELOW freezing (streak began Feb. 15th) - Based on our official forecast, this streak of remaining at-or- below freezing could POTENTIALLY last through at least March 8th, which would bring it up to at least 22 days! - The last time Grand Island (GRI) had at least a 22 day streak of at-or-below freezing was 36 years ago, with a 22-day stretch from Dec. 9-30, 1983. The record-longest streak is 31 days from Jan. 22-Feb. 21, 1936. - The last time Hastings (HSI) had at least a 22 day streak of at- or-below freezing was actually the record-longest streak of 30 days, way back from Jan. 23-Feb. 21, 1936.

  12. Coldest Feb on record in Banff, and coldest since 1936 in both Calgary and Edmonton: https://www.thestar.com/calgary/2019/03/01/alberta-hasnt-seen-a-february-this-cold-since-the-great-depression.html

  13. In other news, the Sun has certainly fell asleep and will likely leave its mark in the years to come. The entire month of Feb had ZERO sunspots and I personally believe we are heading into a deep solar minimum which will have big implications into global weather patterns. In fact, I'll make a bold prediction that some places across the central/southern Plains will prob experience a "year without a summer". I'm not expecting any long duration heat waves this summer across the plains while to the N/NE the ridge will pop. Given the overall cyclical pattern, I expect a lot of precip which will hold temps below normal across the Plains and into the MW this Summer.

  14. -28 at Miles City, MT right now. It appears that ties the all-time March record.

  15. I'm not thinking March when I see that. It's looking very obvious this is going to be a major freezing east wind event for those of us in the outflow zones. Crazy numbers even in parts of Eastern WA now. I could easily see temps in the upper 20s (maybe mid 20s for Portland) with brisk east winds during the late night and early morning hours. Never seen anything like that in March.

  18. Also, for Havre airport (records since 1961) today set both the March record low & the monthly low/max. -10 beat -6 on 3/8/2003 -31 beat -30 on 3/6/1996

  19. -10/-31 in Havre, MT today. Coldest day so late in the season since March 5, 1947. Prior to that, it had been since March 1897. Also, this was the first -10 maximum in March since 1951.

  20. Here's an interesting statistical anomaly, and shows the back-loaded nature of this winter: At Pendleton, 1989 and 2019 are the only years on record (since the 1890's) that didn't see sub-25 maximums until February....and then saw them in both February and March.

  28. Here's what the 12Z EURO shows for Wednesday. Looks like moisture comes up from the South bringing ice to the Southern Willamette Valley. Still too dry up around PDX with the East winds eating all the moisture. But then moderate snow by the afternoon.

  29. Been snowing lightly for the past hour here. It's having a surprisingly hard time accumulating. 16.7*F.

  30. Short range models look to inch the 2nd wave tonight a little further north. More love for locations I80 and south. Still really good for Kansas over to KC and @Clinton. Let’s see if it can overproduce also for other Nebraskans in here. Quite a winter wonderland here with previous snow and new snow. Even now getting some minor drifting as wind picks up and the snow is so light.

  31. Still a solid 24” on the ground here. Trees are flocked, side streets are still snow packed, and now the fog is here. You can barely distinguish the sky from the ground now, looks amazing. Current temp at 17

  32. Just measured 4.2”. Plenty of blowing and since it is like feathers, it’s tough to be precise so this is as close as I can get now. Local radio says between 4-5”, obviously not official yet, but heavy snow continues. Could I hit 6” before this wave let’s up?

  33. The pattern is good but without the extra energy from the sun I have a feeling it will cap that storm potential. Severe storms usually need that extra something. I had a professor who was doing research to connect solar output/sun spot activity with severe weather. Had some interesting data at the time.

  34. Really coming down. Started about 6 am. Only 17 so it is easily accumulating with enough wind to blow it around. It is so light that it will be easy to scoop. This is just round 1. Round 2 starts this evening for locations south of I80 into Kansas. 3-6” could easily be reached with some higher amounts. Temps will plummet so ratios may be 20:1 or higher according to local Mets.

  35. Took these yesterday but if this makes it through today I can officially say I’ve had snow on the ground in spots for a whole month! A few hundred feet above and 2 minutes away from me some of my friends houses still have solid snow cover in their front or back yards. Here's a mediocre picture of the solid snow cover a few minutes away from me.

  36. Hopefully this is the beginning. I’m definitely okay with the next decade being chillier and snowier.

  37. We’ve now had 30 consecutive spotless days. The two longest spotless stretches of the last minimum were 32 days and 31 days, respectively, so if we can extend this streak 3 more days, we’ll beat the longest spotless streak of the 2008/09 solar minimum. FWIW, there was an anomalously long spotless stretch during the SC22/23 minimum of 42 days (9/13 to 10/24,1996...which whether by coincidence or not preceded the December 1996 craziness in the northern parts of the PNW). I’m not sure we’ll be able to match that streak this go around, but it would really be something if we can pull it off. http://sidc.oma.be/silso/IMAGES/GRAPHICS/spotlessJJ/SC25_periods.png

  38. The Euro still likes the idea of some snow at the middle of next week. The low tracks very favorably for some and the time of day is perfect for the Seattle area.

  40. Still 45 and very pleasant out there. Will be even more pleasant once it gets all crispy overnight. Still can't see the grass even after all the upper 40s. I'm going to assume it's been quite some time since EUG and surrounding areas have had snow on the ground for a week +.

  44. Thanks for posting this. Looks really good for your area. My brother in Shawnee doesn’t have a snow blower and said he is sick of scooping. I may get some decent amounts from the 2nd wave. Such a surprising day. Models didn’t handle the 1st wave snow band well at all. I’m sure there will be some changes as wave 2 approaches.

  45. The dry air dome is noticeably beginning to fill in on radar. Still have a ways to go before I see any appreciable rates here, but actually getting moisture down to the surface is a good start. 16.2*F.

  46. Some light snow currently falling from a disturbance moving on through from the west and temps are at 28F. Roads are and look slippery.

  47. This pattern with all of these storms, severe weather season may be non stop at times. I think it's going to be very rough!
