snow drift

Is that a November map? It wasn't bad. I experienced 1983 and 1993. 1993 was awful. July 1986 was miserable, too. There's nothing like wearing a winter coat on the 4th of July. You should try it. All those years had warmth in May.

April and May this year were top tier cold after a la niña winter. Hence my listing of 1984, 1996, 2008, 2011, and 2012. I'm focusing on years I experienced. I could be here all day listing years otherwise. July 1981(4th coldest), 1983(7th coldest), 1986(2nd coldest), 1987(15th coldest), 1992, and 1993(coldest)were all colder than average. Every May preceding those Julys was average or warmer than average except 1981. The three warmest summers on record are 2021, 2015, and 1998. I experienced the 2nd coldest winter in 1978-79. 1948-49 is the coldest. The five coldest years are 1985, 1955, 1964, 1996, and 1993. I experienced 3/5. Honestly, I'm usually more concerned about a warmer than average May. 2016 is a good example. July was colder than average that year. You pay for a warm May. Without a doubt, we have seen a lot of warm springs over the past decade. It had to change eventually. Keep in mind, a cooler spring doesn't necessarily lead to a cooler July-August.

1984 was a mess. It's the 3rd coldest May in Spokane. 1996 is the 2nd coldest. 1991 was the coldest June on record.

1984, 1991(not a la niña), 1996, 2008, 2011, and 2012 all worked out in July and August. There is still hope.

Every kid's dream..

I'm always amazed how tornadoes can find the lone trailer park in a mega metropolis of thousands of houses.🌪

I like busts in a positive direction.

We had two tornadoes spawn from a thunderstorm in early May. The storm was rather vanilla. It featured a few rumbles of thunder and some rain. The two tornadoes caught everyone by surprise, but they were only little guys. They were both rated at F0. They were so cute though. When they get bigger, they plan on moving to Kansas or Oklahoma.

It reached 32@KGEG on the 29th. It was pretty marginal. January was a split flow fiesta.🌶🏜 ¡Ole!

Severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for Lewiston. A flash flood warning has been issued for the area just north of Grand Coulee Dam.

Sent you some high octane cold via the KGEG-PDX express.

Score

I remember the Portland NWS issued a WSW for parts of the area. I saw it on the news.

PDX picked up 2.5 inches of snow on 12/29/2009. Good stuff.

I recall Portland having a nice little surprise snow event in December 2009. It caught many of the forecasters by surprise.

This year was kind of similar. January was a classic inversion. In February it broke due to the higher February sun angle. After that it was intensely sunny. I can't recall a sunnier February. February is normally one of our gloomier months.

Just like winter when snow is all around but there is a giant hole at your location.

Omak to Oroville look to be the big winners.

I don't know if this is an advanced rhetoric forum or a weather forum. I'm so confused.

You must be in Twisp.

Currently 73 with the sun trying to break through the thick cloud shield.

1977 was a +PNA snoozer.

That might work. Most of the Oregon posters seem to favor cooler and wetter weather. Andrew seems to be doing well in his location this year, though. Nature has opened the skies and showered him with abundant blessings.

My dad graduated from Renton high school in 1964. He now lives in Everett. My grandma and two of my uncles lived out their lives in the Renton Highlands. They all passed away in the last 11 years.

I removed my reply and sent an apology.
