BLI snowman Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Just now, 1000'NorthBend said: Additional snow in the central Cascades is not wasted, whatsoever. Snowpack is at 90% of normal. Olympics are at 85% of normal. Cooler temps and more precip in the Spring are a good thing. Cooler temps with periodic +EPO and storm systems is the biggest thing. That's been the big hurdle. Even with a plethora of Ninas, the problem with the 2014-present patterns is that they have either been blocky and bone dry, usually on the warm side but occasionally cold as well, or they have been warm/wet. And then with a large percentage of our precip coming from warm fronts and tightly focused ARs with sharp gradients. Cold onshore flow has been MIA more often than not, particularly in the critical spring months. Hell, we still really haven't even seen any since the last week of December. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLI snowman Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 5 minutes ago, TT-SEA said: It is wasted if it comes at the expense of the areas that actually need it. Its pretty hard to get a pattern that is dumping rain and mountain snow in CA and in western WA at the same time. We are fine regardless of what happens... summer will be just fine for us like it always is. Not with cool onshore flow patterns. Although "dumping rain" is a relative term. Obviously our absolute wettest patterns up here before ULL season will traditionally come from subtropical warm fronts, which usually means CA is roasting and dry. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem worried. We have had close to 100 inches of rain since September and our mountains are at 90% snowpack. Pretty sure we can make it through our 6 weeks of dry weather this summer. Not too worried about it. The situation in Oregon and California is much different. 3 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe we can continue to mimic the 2009 snowpack pattern? I get it... you just like cold and wet weather. Even a normal April and May is usually wet and chilly for the most part and features mountain snow in our area. 1 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
