  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 37 and Moderate rain with continental winds nearby(north & east).
  4. 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.
  5. Maybe a little snow on Fri morning to close out the valley winter.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Ski season doesn't end until June/July depending on where you live.
  9. 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).
  10. 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.
  11. Wrong side of the mountains... Definitely a very surprising way to score it, 0 expectations and build-up to it.
  12. What a weird way to score hottest March SEA day. The ridge is not even that strong???
  13. 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)
  14. Split flow is an above average pattern... Could even be a sunny one for favorable locales
  15. Not sure where you live relative to NB, but the main axis of the zone would be extended right into NB, eastern part of it is just sliding south a bit but it I think it will correct in an hour or two. I agree you will probably get a little melting, but the zone looks very strong and angry, so it should drive down the snow levels below 500' wherever it parks this afternoon.
  16. Vancouver Island CZ headed your way too. Won't be seeing grass anytime soon Tim!
  17. 850mb temps made it above 1c here today(and they still are), but surface obs don't support the low layer warmth. Crazy for March.
  18. Yeah hardly above freezing here, all the snow a meter from my house on the sunnyside melted over last week. Coolest part is it looks like sastrugi.
  19. Phil's map is a meme chart. It also shows that the east coast sucks for weather.
  20. I grilled a couple times(charcoal) in near 0 temps. Wasn't even type 2 fun! Planning to grill tonight again, should be more reasonable with temps near freezing.
