Nice warm low of 40 this morning here.

Well February is still a solid winter month here in the cascades. It has no problem delivering average amounts of snowfall, at least when there's no droughts. But yeah March I think was a bigger month for snow/cold back in the 'ol hay day.

November 2008 was warm, and the next month the whole sky fell in the form of snow. November 1995 another example, much warmer than '08 and that winter turned out to be amusing to an extent.

Even here so far I haven't had anything significant in March yet. When it snows, pretty garden variety. Some lows in the 20's but compared to the rest of my winter, it's a temperate month. It can sometimes be an exact copy of April in Klamath if the correct pattern comes along. (except 2016, hugely anomalous April LOL)

The last time I actually mentally prepared for something that panned out the way I wanted was June 4 2009. Wow. The memory train. Ever since then, preparing brings bust. And models no longer hold onto stuff longer than 24 hours anymore.... (Dec 2008 and the severe t'storms were on models like forever before they happened!!). I remember we were discussing the June storms back in late May and every day after school was another ride for me.

A massive 21 days that had highs below average in October 2016. Highs in the first week of October... 10/01: 59 (-12) 10/02: 47 (-23) 10/03: 45 (-25) 10/04: 52 (-17) 10/05: 52 (-17) 10/06: 59 (-10) 10/07: 70 (+2)

I just crunched October 2016 comparing to normal at KLMT. October 2016 High = 1787 = 57.6 (-5.3)October 2016 Low = 1065 = 34.4 (+3.3)October 2016 Mean = 2852 = 46.0 (-1.0) It actually would have been anomalously cold if I didn't have as many rainy days. The avg low ended up being +3.3. That was a really interesting month looking at the numbers.

I was definitely cooler than normal in October here in Klamath, but not very anomalous. Not Nov 2010 kind of cold.

And then watch there be a short period of lows in the teens and below 10 last several days of the month, and 500-1000 ft. snow levels. Kiss record November goodbye

That would depend on the majority of November being anomalous. But I could imagine it being top 10 or low tier top 5 warmest. A bit early to tell though.

The front is pretty good in SW Oregon, so I wonder what it looks like on KRTX. We'll never know. A part of me has died.

November could get boring, real quick. Nooooo.... it needs to rain more.... I had to google that one.

67/29 here at KLMT, with freezing fog (THICK) around 8-9am. Not quite like an indian summer, but somewhere along those lines. 81/29 would have been more dynamic (that was 10/13/2014, with 1/10th mile visibility in the AM as well). But this is November, 67 was 3 degrees away from the record of 70 in 2009. Gotta learn my place... Edit: Forgot to add how comfy it was in the evening, very SLOW cooling for this time of year. Just thought I'd point this out. It had the feeling of a mid Spring evening to me. Perhaps the airport cooled some decently but here at my house in a t-shirt and shorts definitely didn't feel like 50 to me (that was an hour ago).

Intense fog this morning. 31 degrees.

I totally remember that, but since the cold and snow were separate events, that it would look less impressive than others in the metro. It was the only time I've experienced anything close to zero there at the time before moving here, so I got that going for me.

December 2009 was a 1 evening event. 12/29 for just a handful of hours. A quick 2-4 inches west side metro (3" in Hillsboro where I lived) then the next morning almost no evidence it had even snowed. It doesn't compare to a vast list of other winter events in the region. Some people actually reported less snow. Folks on the east side of the metro got between wet snow to less than 1 inch. The nice thing about it at the time was that it was 1 day before my birthday. Other than that, nothing to really write home about.

I thought Super Typhoon Haiyan reached lower than 925mb, but maybe I'm remembering wrong. Edit: Didn't realize at first we're just talking about records for Alaska and vicinity. My bad.

Of course, you're speaking to someone who used to like snow and now would rather take those other 3 things mentioned.

I'll gladly take that. Windstorms, drenching rains, and massive squall lines. My favorite kind of winters.

Yeah, and when people say "NW" it's Portland and Seattle. Just buy a set of skis and go to the cascades. There's gonna be snow and it's gonna be great.

November could be much drier in Klamath Falls. Only 2 small chances of rain in the next 10 days. To be expected though, I haven't experienced any real rainy Novembers in my time so far in this area. Let it sun.....let it sun....

I still think there will be a ski season, if it's not early. Just not seeing a '14-'15 kind of winter materializing. Maybe more like last winter if the worst happens (mountain snow, no lowland snow. Above average snowpack). But I think maybe a couple/few inches in low elevations this time. Just not like 2008 or 2004.

October 2016 was officially the 3rd wettest in Klamath Falls with 2.48" of rain. 1950 is the wettest at 2.96", 1979 is 2nd wettest at 2.84".

Just sounds like someone locally may not have been lucky. All of those were good events regionally. Nov 2010 was snowier than normal when I moved here. And Dec 2013 was my coldest December since 1972. Watered down, I don't think so.

There is a thunderstorm south of Eureka that has shown couplets on velocity offshore, hook echo and likely dropped one or two waterspouts. I haven't checked out the reports yet but this looks like one of the storms that struck NW Oregon coast on 10/14 when low topped supercells formed.
