January 2024 Weather in the PNW (Part II)
Seattle replied to Meatyorologist's topic in West of the Rockies
Haha, that I would not do (I guess I'm not a TRUE weenie). I booked the trip in March 2023... thinking mid-January would be prime torch territory. I can only hope the rest of winter isn't as awful as December was. -

I have been avoiding this place and model riding as I'll be on vacation 1/10-1/22. Can't believe I'm going to miss this event. In a super nino winter. UGH. It's the first time since Christmas 2008 (and I still experienced the best parts of that blast) that'll be out of town for snow/arctic weather Feel free to weenie away. -
Looks like SEA will probably record its first <40 day. 38 at 11:53. A bit warmer near my home, looks like it got up to 40.

Does Vancouver get downsloping hot winds?
-
Up to 93! And I see quite a number of corroborating stations in NE Seattle. UW up to 91 as well. It's HOT. KSEA seems to be back in the sun as well with a jump on the interobs to 88.

Sun came back out and temp has spiked. Up to 91 right now, which ties yesterday's number.

+4 at SEA right now. My east-facing home office is pretty miserable at the moment. How did I work in here last summer?? I guess I should go get the fan out...

In isolation, the weather today was summer perfection. Too bad it's another record hot [fill in the statistic], after an endless decade of them. Still had a fantastic time floating on Lake Washington with friends. The water was definitely chilly, but manageable with the strong afternoon sun to balance. Rainier & the Cascades were spectacular; it was honestly a little jarring to see the mountains so snow covered.

Interesting, I certainly has more than a 12" of snow depth in View Ridge back in Dec 2008. Also came close in Feb 2021, but you seem to have picked up less snow than I had (11"). I guess with compaction it was more like 9.5"-10" depth. -

Decent amount of snow covering favored and untreated surfaces in Rainier Valley of Seattle. Very nice little surprise. -

24 at SEA, 23 near my backyard. So not quite matching the 23 at the airport last Feb. Arctic fart. -

I remember that weekend vividly. Summit has shut down their operations, but I and my roommate went up to ski tour there. Beautiful weather and spring skiing were had. Little did we know that was about the last thing we were going to do for the next few months. -

Can someone in the know be so kind as to explain why the orientation of this trough is more conducive to a backdoor blast through the Gorge as opposed to from the north? Is it the positioning of the N. Pacific block longitudinally, or how it angles up in Alaska, or something else?
