  1. Dear Andrew, Thank you for bringing up the issue of sub freezing lows in the Willamette Valley. It is concerning to hear about the potentially damaging effects of such cold temperatures on crops and other agricultural products. As a language model, I am not privy to the most current weather forecasts or data, but I encourage you to stay informed and take appropriate measures to protect your crops if necessary. This may include covering plants, utilizing heaters or other sources of warmth, or taking other precautions to prevent damage from the cold. It is important that we all remain vigilant about potential weather events and their impacts on our communities, particularly as we continue to face the challenges of climate change. Thank you again for bringing attention to this issue, and I hope that measures can be taken to mitigate any potential damage. Sincerely, ChatGPT Regenerate response

  2. Nice dags. Just visited my mom in kittitas last weekend. 40 degrees there felt colder than 40 at home for some reason.

  6. IR/WV Loop 3/20/23 11:10 PM Meanwhile.... off California A strong system is currently undergoing rapid cyclogenesis (strengthening). The 00z GFS/Euro deepens this low to around 982/983mb by 11 AM Tuesday off the central California coast. I do not recall seeing a system like this off our coast this past Fall or Winter while California has been hammered with one strong storm after another. Fun stuff.

  11. Wow the 12z Euro trended way cooler for next week than the 00z run. It has cleared out now and the temp is up to 51, beautiful day. I see PDX fell to 39 this morning. Score.

  15. Ended up with a beautiful 62/38 spread today. East winds got a little breezy in the afternoon. Sort of an interesting pattern today with areas in the central and eastern Gorge being cool, calm and showery while the Portland area was warmer and sunny with breezy winds. Opposite of what you usually see this time of year. It’s all thanks to the counterclockwise flow in the upper levels around the low slamming into the Bay Area this afternoon. Unusual setup esp for late March.

  17. This is a compiling winter. Here the early November period and late February period really stand out, but overall just solid from start to finish. Even the bad month (January), was salvaged a bit. If this late week trough verifies anything close to what the models are showing its going to be hard to argue this wasn't the best winter of the past 12 years up here.

  18. I'm really curious if everyone in the NW on this board had at least some measurable snow at least once? @TigerWoodsLibido and @MWG had some and they are the most likely to miss out. @PuyallupChris and @Winterdogtoo.

  19. I’d give this winter a B+ looking back on it now. Pulled off snow in each month November included. Lots of frequent light snowfalls which was cool. We had 2 separate arctic outbreaks…and remained decently chilly this entire cold season. Dry chilly winter overall. Main thing holding it back here was the lack of a significant snow event. The best event was 2” on 11/30-12/1….then the snow events on 12/4, 12/21 and 2/26 were nice 1” events as well.

  24. 00Z GEM snow map... which carries way more weight than any GFS snow map. The GEM is usually fairly stingy. That means much more accurate of course.

  26. Yeah good observation it was quite gusty here this afternoon. The best part of today was the blue skies finally returned instead of that awful blinding hazy sunshine last Thu-Sat.

  33. I did some complaining in December because everyone around me got more snow but I still ended up with 6" total in December. A trace in January and 6.5" total in February. I had 6 measurable events for a total of 12.5" for the winter. All of the snowfall events took place in darkness except the Feb. 28th 4.5" event which came during daylight hours to my delight.

  34. Euro has gone crazy-- personally-- I think it's off. Likely WAY off, but its the Euro. -- But if so-- Top 10 snowiest March is possible for DSM and other locales in IA-- DSM currently 9.9" for March-- need 15.8" for Top 10. Long stretch - I get it- but Euro keeps shoving snowfield further SE with this system. Local DMX disco's have gone full blown spring with no hint of snow in S.IA--- Is this winter fatigue - or legit forecasting??? I think some of both. Time will tell.

  43. Looking through it more deeply you guys have been screwed through all of DJF. For SEA, all of the top-20 850mb cold records in each winter month are pre-2000. One mini-exception is Feb 2018 which came in #18. But really, November 2010 is the only top-notch cold airmass to occur out there this century. That’s just brutal. Climate change seems amplified out there.
