A genuine neutral year would be sweet.

Last one was 2013-14.

I don’t remember anything noteworthy that happened that season, I will need to look at my picture archives!

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

In other news, the new CANSIPS seasonal projects another brutal summer in the SW US.

Similar to 2021 with the expansive 4CH.

Hard to pick out the 4CH in the sea of warmth looks like it’s maybe been displaced to the Nebraska/Iowa border. At least it shows the far NW closest to average

Woke up with a lake front condo this morning! Am considering getting out there in my wellies and digging a trench to the main drain in hopes of bringing the water level down. The doggo was not pleased with the prospect of having to poop in 2+ inches of standing water. The Cedar river in Renton has also overflowed it's banks in multiple areas through downtown river walk. Good times! All of this is making me wonder what the Ides of March have in store for us...

A cold, but mostly dry winter. That was one of the few times northwest Oregon had bigger snowstorms than me.

Yes but that’s the type of pattern that could send big heat into the PNW with slight changes. And would roast the intermountain west.

Generally speaking, a large 4CH is not what you want to see if you’re hoping for a cool western summer.

You mean over the walk/bike paths along the side of the river, not the actual embankments above those that would actually flood out into streets etc?

Still dumping rain here.   

We must be over 2 inches on the day after the 6+ inches we got yesterday.    And guessing we are over 10 inches since Saturday evening.       

Looking forward to a few dry days ahead.

Frozen was released in November, then it got cold.

Seahawks won the Superbowl then it got cold again.

No December has come close to that level of cold since. Average low of 9 degrees for the month at KLMT.

Snowed one day on Dec 6th, quick 5". Then inversion the rest of that one.

February was our best month.   I think the dreaded "blob" was allegedly a factor.  It was the only year since I have been here that we didn't have a white Christmas. 

That’s right, it came back to me as I looked at pictures. We had that nice little overrunning one day event before Christmas and Lake Goodwin froze over in early February. Those were the highlights up here.

That's pretty impressive. I lived over 4000 feet high for 11 years and March rarely had highs freezing or below. 

I still think thats short lived, in middle of winter here we don't get 2 week long freezes.

Maybe not 2 week long freezes, but this was a top-10 warm winter for the majority of the region. There wasn’t much in the way of serious cold to be found (for the 3rd consecutive winter).

Soil moisture getting real low in northern CA again.

Not sure how that is calculated... but the ground literally cannot hold any more water for a large part of western WA.

I bet December alone is why many stations are top 10 or 5 warmest. January wasn't too bad in cold temperature department. There were a healthy number of days below 40.

Not the embankments that are about 7 feet above the river, no, but for example where the senior center is, the river has completely covered the path that's 6 ft wide, and is encroaching on the grass lawn. Looks like it's running about 2 ft deep on the path. I'll try to get a picture tonight if I can.

There were also two minor mudslides on Rainier Ave; one in the city proper almost directly across from the airport control tower (City of Renton/KC roads have done nothing but put cones out) and one about a mile and half further north on Rainier that was blocking the southbound lane just before the Stone House restaurant. Drove past it maybe 5 minutes after it happened at 4:30 and SDOT was already taking care of it.

looks pretty bare, yikes.  A lot of that is just 'seasonal snow'. glaciers are going to gone from Shasta probably in the next 50 years, especially if the long term drying of Norcal continues

Was thinking the same thing. It shows the marine layer intact along the coast of California, so that map might be overdone for the rest of the state.

Rain has completely stopped now and there are some sun breaks.   Very spring-like out there with warm, moist air.    The grass looks like its turning green on steroids right now and the buds on the alder trees are much bigger and more prominent than they were last week.     This extreme AR event feels like it has jump started spring up here.   Of course it will probably snow again next week!

Thanks... was hoping for an update.  

Almost 3 inches on the day after the big rain event.    😃

And just about a foot of rain in 72 hours... without any major flooding.   Impressive!

Just incredible rain amounts across the entire Snoqualmie River basin over the last 3 days but the Snoqualmie River has crested below major flood stage.      It must be related to the long duration of the event.

We lived in Renton during the 1990 storm that sank the I-90 bridge. The Cedar River pretty much filled that channel under and west of the library. I think they actually closed the library for a while.

The 18z GFS looks awfully dry after tomorrow. 

Well... last week you said we would learn how everything shifts north and the AR event would end up in BC.    

And yet we still managed to pick up almost a foot of rain in 3 days in my area and SEA had one of the wettest days ever recorded and almost 5 inches of rain since Saturday.     Trust the EPS over the 18Z GFS.

has there ever been a 3 year back to back to back nina?  Are we headed toward that super rare territory?

1998-2001 was the most recent time that happened.    Almost happened from 2010-2012.

Also happened from 1973-1976 and 1954-1956.

      Oldest Trigonometric Tablet

      http://www.xinhuanet.com//english/2017-08/25/c_136554422.htm SYDNEY, Aug. 25 (Xinhua) -- The mystery of a famous 3,700-year-old Babylonian clay tablet, once owned by the real "Indiana Jones," has been unlocked by an Australian mathematician, it was revealed Friday. Dr. Daniel Mansfield's findings from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, are now the oldest example of an accurate trigonometric tablet, beating out Pythagoras and the better-known Greek mathematicians by more than 1,000 years. The tablet was originally discovered in the Ottoman Empire (now modern-day Iraq) between 1900-1910 by Edgar Banks and has baffled the world's leading historians and researchers for over a century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_James_Banks

      FTR, I think 51-52 probably is 'too old' to consider to. 68-69 looks interesting. arctic outbreak in late dec, lots of snow that winter 91-92 and 09-10 are duds here, warm and dry and probably more likely in our 'modern' climate unfortunately.

      No such thing as bulletproof. It’s like throwing darts, you can miss without a blindfold, but you’re more likely to miss while blindfolded. Believe it or not 1951/52 is in my analog pool, but in the lower weighted cluster, and definitely not the closest match to date. Niño/descending E-shear, autumnal +IOD are the best dynamic fits and weighted double, as are non-modoki Niños lacking +PMM or very strong EPAC niños. Other mod/strong EPAC/CPAC niños or modoki niños lacking +PMM weighted normally, along with strong niños with +PMM. Other niños weighted 50%.
