March 2019 Weather Discussion in the PNW
epiceast replied to BLI snowman's topic in West of the Rockies
these 200%+ are all 4-4.5k'. No high elevation sites east of the crest... Except for two Wallowas sites at 7.5k but they are not representative(east slopes in the shadow). I mean maybe this is a case of correlation doesn't equal causation(and NRCS does actual aerial surveys, not just snotel data), but snowpack would be average by april 15th when these mid elevation sites melt off.- 6502 replies

Oregon snowpack #s are overstated, at least east of the cascades. All the snotel sites in central & eastern oregon are 4-5k' low elevation stuff, above 5k it's normal amounts since cold February/March has no effect on them.- 6502 replies

Can't believe we 1-2'd the big anomalous ridge. First hit was last weekend it moved to Alberta and NW territories, now looks completely dead after a brief resurgance on Monday over interior west.- 6502 replies

Maybe a little snow on Fri morning to close out the valley winter.

Looks pretty bad to me. Boring cloudy weather w/ sprinkles, flooding here and bad skiing. Maybe drops the 850mb temps closer to 0 or below and then it wouldn't be so bad.- 6502 replies

There is no pattern that will melt this snow fast. Although Missoula and Mission valleys are pretty close to breaking out out of the inversion after substantial snow melt.- 6502 replies

Are you looking to cement that 3' snow depth in town? First ULL is on the house this weekend, 5000' snow levels forecast by MSO NWS(guaranteed accumulating snow in downtown Bozeman, one way or another).- 6502 replies

Missoula has not hit 50 degrees since November 4th. Definitely a winter without an unseasonal warm up. 50 Should fall today or tomorrow however. This also might be some kind of a record.

Wrong side of the mountains... Definitely a very surprising way to score it, 0 expectations and build-up to it.- 6502 replies

Only 50's here. We don't flip to a surface warm pool like Eastern Washington does. I do wonder if it's possible here in April, I bet some Montana cities can get 70's and deep snow on the ground(& flooding)- 6502 replies
