January 2024 Weather in the PNW (Part II)

Looks like they also added the Euro weeklies for paid subscribers -

BTW, is it just me or did Pivotal change their color scheme? -

We've seen far worse meltdowns, so no need to apologize. And we get why, and this is the place to vent about it, within reason of course, and I think you were within reason. -

So Cliff actually said, if you cared to read it, that he doesn't make any predictions for major weather beyond 5 days because the skill of the models goes downhill rapidly. Fair enough. But he also said the chances for a snowstorm is increasingly doubtful. Not sure why, I get the uncertainty, but it makes me wonder if he just looks at the GFS. And that would be strange considering he has been so critical of the GFS. -

Will the AI models ever do ensembles? Since the initialization data isn't perfect, so maybe they would. I am also guessing someday with better satellites, we may have better data to input for initialization. -

3 or 4 days ago the models were pretty pedestrian. Somewhat cool, mountain snow, but nothing Arctic. And then they turned on a dime. So confusing. -

Weren't last nights GEM ensembles quite a bit colder than the operational? -

December 1996 was not that bitterly cold, IIRC. North Sound had a white Christmas while central and south Sound did not, snow came after Christmas. I also distinctally remember in the week after Christmas the next storm (after the rest of Puget Sound got snow) was originally forecast to be rain. Then they made a big announcement on the TV news that they were changing the forecast to snow instead. -

Considering there are not a lot of places up there that had thermometers then and now, that's a good bet. I also don't know if -48 was the true low. Did the thermometers back then have the capability of automatically recording both high and low temps without someone being there to check it at the actual time of the low temperature? -

Late December 1968 was when Winthrop and Mazama set the all time cold temperature record for WA at -48 -

Cliff hasn't said yes or no. Last post was 24 hours ago, he expressed uncertainty. -

Icon shows it getting cold, then by the end (hour 180), things are being shoved east. High pressure is approaching the coast and the trough goes east. -

Not quite. He just said -27 degree temps are extremely unlikely. -

Yeah I can't imagine Mazama and Winthrop not breaking the record considering how cold Spokane is -

Coldest temp ever recorded in WA is -48 This has -42 near Spokane. Close to the record -

If you were to draw the craziest, coldest, snowiest scenario possible, this would be it.
