February 2019 Weather in the Pacific Northwest - Part 1
westiztehbest replied to a topic in West of the Rockies
This type of unique pattern of lows dropping in from the N/NW off the coast with N/NE Arctic winds and a foot plus of progged snowfall reminds me a whole lot of Dec 2008. Lord in heaven the snow was unbelievably deep then due to the retrograde of the lows after it dove down and stalled for a couple days. Spokane got the literal sweet spot for massive snowfall. Not every run do you see the east side getting as much snow as the pass! The beauty of this pattern is that everyone has potential to receive significant snow depending on the setup. Man with how mild this winter started...I seriously thought global warming and El Niño we’re giving a preview of mild future non-winters....guess it’s best to not get too convinced of anything hehe. Solar minimums, the last two that I’ve been a watcher of weather and a met....have all been quite snowy - not just for the inland NW but for everyone - which makes winter wildly more fascinating for model riding (and skiing!). -
November 2018 Weather in the Pacific Northwest
westiztehbest replied to Timmy Supercell's topic in West of the Rockies
Started as rain and 40F this afternoon and it switched over to heavy snow and 32F now. Always interesting how the relative location of the surface low affects winds and prepic type. Rain changing over to snow has always been an interesting phenomenon in November storms. -

First snow of the season this afternoon. Got aboot an inch. -
Arctic Kush with a dab of Drunk Uncle's fairy dust. Snowing here now but expecting marginal accumulations due to temps at 33 F. Should get purdy cold next week. Snow chances late Monday and Thursday should be enjoyable as high temps will be in the teens and 20's. Hoping to get 6" at least b/t the two storms and 1-2' in the mountains.

great animation of 200 mb forcing. really fascinating how it all fits together...eventually effecting the sensible weather here or there. SOI: Solar: sunspots dropped to zero on 6/4 for the first time in the eventual cycle 24/25 minimum. Interesting article regarding the current cycle: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2016/06/04/solar-cycle-update-spotless/
