Got my November day in before I leave town for a couple weeks. Temps in the low 20s with a strong breeze really made it feel like winter. Can’t wait for lift access in a few weeks.

Been snowing heavily all night here with temps around 10F. So at least 30:1 snow ratios throughout the night. Once it's light out I'll get a measurement but I'd guess we're approaching a foot in the past 24 hours. Currently still snowing and 9F.

Ended up with 10" here overnight. Sun is out currently and 10F. Looks like our "high" for the day will be another midnight high of 13F. Really impressive for November 8th! Another push of moisture moves in tonight into tomorrow with even colder temps and snow ratios approaching 40:1. Probably looking at an additional 4-6".

Had to take the car in for service in scenic Fife and caught this view of Rainier.

There was 25” when we left Yesterday morning. It got above freezing briefly In the afternoon and probably had some decent compaction. Been lightly snowing all night and today and looks like maybe 6 more inches. Looks like mid February not second week of November.

View out the rear window.

Real nice sunset off of 192nd this evening.

Whitecaps on the water and snow on the Olympics.

Olympic snow pack at 2,100% of normal

Just a standard November day with snow on the ground and leaves still on the trees.

12z ECMWF, another EURO Op run featuring a significant backdoor cold shot/blast. Since it's so far out beyond Day 7 I'm not taking it too seriously. That is a bitter air mass we are dangerously close to tapping into though. C'MON!!!!

The gem is going places

I woke up just after 3 am to check out the eclipse. Fortunately there was a hole in the clouds for about 15 minutes before totality ended so I got a couple shots. There were also a couple snowflakes frozen to the cars, but those have since disappeared. Low of 30F this morning.

It’s been lightly snowing here for a couple hours. Dirt is white and grass is starting to turn white as well.

Fog has cleared finally... still no wind at all.

He was a pre-Internet weather junkie. He actually kept local weather stats out there for WSU for quite a while and did forecasts for the first cable TV company. The stories were fascinatingly detailed.

Still flurries here. Ended up with about 2.5”

Day 7 (Past 4 runs) That is an absolutely MASSIVE block tonight! WOW!

Absolutely stellar day. Down to 39 here with a brisk north wind as evidenced by the flag in the top photo.

Close but I have to go with December 2008…Only because we basically had major snow events up here every other day for two weeks straight, I don’t believe we went above freezing at all, and I had a low of -3. What I did love about February (into March) 2019 was that I had snow on the ground for nearly 7 weeks straight!

I look forward to seeing some AlTahoe posts. They are getting nuked right now.

Looks like my daughter has her 2nd consecutive snow day!

Major rainfall occurring in north-central California. Drought buster! Looks like more than the GFS and ECMWF forecast to me.

Beautiful eclipse. The clouds cleared at the perfect time for me and my wife to watch the moon move into earth's shadow. Really nice to have something sentimental like that as both her and I have not been doing well health-wise lately.

I rarely post Day 10+ .... but

Who's ready for 00z runs tonight? This is the start of something very mundane, dull, and bland. The start of reduced enthusiasm when model riding, and no more glee from posting snowy maps from Hour 364. Oh yes my friends, together we can trudge through the next 7-10 days while trying to stay awake as the GFS and ECMWF send us into a Fall slumber. It's a good time to find a puzzle, go for a walk, a hike, or invent new hobbies. I can't think of any at the moment. But really. The ECMWF Ensembles that ridge placement is mighty close to not only pull cold air at times into eastern Washington and the Columbia Basin, but if it migrates just a bit further west we would see a major backdoor blast. C'MON!!!! 00z GFS in 1 hour 15 minutes 00z ECMWF in 3 hours 25 minutes

Summers back! sunny skies and 85* 44/36 with current temp 39. North winds were brutal!

We pay a premium to live here on the west coast. I much rather live here then Ohio

Currently 29.8 degrees. First freeze of the season! Power came on at 1am this morning…We had a lot of non generator circuit lights on at 10:30pm Friday night apparently!

0z Euro..."Unleash the Hounds of the Arctic"...Let it Snow... That mid-month storm in the Plains showing up in the operational runs...

I will eat a bug if YVR scores 15 or more inches of additional snowfall by that date.

Look like the block tilts slightly the next few frames, maybe it'll divert a massive arctic airmass straight down into the PNW!

lol just saw a dude on the street over trying to blow snow with a push lawn mower. must've just moved here from TX or CA or something

First step to a great winter is the cold being on our side of the pole. I like where we’re at with that. Plenty of time until winter primetime for it to shift back west, which it hopefully does.

So far the storm here has been a total bust. NWS forecast at 3am this morning said 10-20" for my area today. We have 2" currently with the back edge just now passing through. Storm total 8" Forecast was for 24-30" Pretty lame Edit. Looks like Mammoth will get dumped on as the strongest part of the storm went south

Stop adding little political comments in this thread. It’s actually been going good lately!

This pic is on Dec 5th, 2004 in Astoria, Queens: This was after a mild November, which then turned abruptly colder by mid month and once December arrived, it really got snowy. This snowstorm dropped 16.4" in La Guardia. I remember I could not drive my car ( snow was too deep) to my house, so I had to walk.

I would much rather go through this now than say the entire second half of January/ first half of February like last year.

East wind no joke been ripping for hours if it decouples we have a chance at some single digits tonight with clearing skies. doubt it though, too windy

Just reviewing the ENSO. Everyone keeps wanting to kill off this Nina, but here we are well into November and we still have the ENSO 3.4 region sporting a -1.1C departure. Looks like we stay below -0.5C through the end of January, and are in negative neutral conditions until about April. By summer 2023 a Nino is ramping up. Elephant in the room is that by then we will be coming off our best winter of the Century and due for a a bit of a DUD.

Looks like we have dropped to 30 now under clearing skies. The deciduous trees got crushed…

Had to feed the animals before bed. Cloudy and 31.5 currently.

Most of February 2019 was cloudy, at least here. Cloudy and snowy.

ED issues?
