Even though I am coughing up a lung and having a steady stream of mucusy clearish liquid flowing from my nose…I still got out and sprayed weeds since this is looking like my only opportunity before the non mucusy clear liquid starts flowing from the sky again!

In the last couple hours once the front went thru,  I saw a few flakes and tons of nonstop wind.  I just added up my total precip from Oct 2021 to Mar 31st and wound up with 3.53"  liquid total, and 1.70" so far for the year.  The really strange thing about this "winter" was that when we did actually get snow, it was never ever over 2" inches from each storm.  Every winter I can remember either wet or dry, we would certainly get at least 1 good dumping with over 5"inches or more.  Bozeman has been lucking out though,  but I can certainly tell that all the mountains in this region are not looking too great. I will say this though,  I have all the respect in the world for the NWS, however its concerning when they get everyones hopes up promising moisture and then end up with nothing.  lol.  

Yeah pretty much all of Central and Eastern MT is in a world of hurt. Bozeman is the one spot that has been closer to average within the region.

I will say that the upcoming pattern does show some promise for more widespread soaking precip chances for much of the area so fingers crossed it verifies!

2022/23 will indeed be +QBO, in all likelihood. Should the Niña hold on, it would have potential to be a huge winter in the PNW region.

Of course that’s a long way off.

Are there any third year Niña + westerly QBO winters even in the record to use as analogs?

I should perform a rain dance!  Funny thing though, back in early 2002, a large group of folks on 1 of the reservations somewhere in the state, can't remember which one, performed a rain dance performance which was in the newspapers and the local news stations!  And guess what?  the vast majority of the state ended that year with well above normal moisture!

The only one I can think of is 1975/76, but there was a lot going on during that stretch that made for bizarre outcomes (which culminated in the great pacific climate shift the subsequent year).

So not very analogous to the present era.

Whatever happens next year, I just hope that the West gets a wetter winter overall because so much of the region is experiencing severe to extreme drought conditions right now thanks to this past decade setting dry records left and right especially in California and surrounding areas. I also realize that much of the PNW has been in drought at times (and still is in many areas) over the last decade as well.

There you go, Dan. CA just needs to hire a good rain dance group. I'm sure they can afford it with all that tax revenue.

I honestly can't remember the last time the 84 hr snow forecast map looked like this. I've seen the 168 hr map maxed out a number of times, but it's been a while since this amount of snow fell in two days. I think snow levels might be a tad too high at the start for maximum accumulation, but it will still be boatloads of snow.

12Z GFS is actually quite dry after the big system coming through tonight and tomorrow.

Hard to take the GFS at face value given its inconsistency in the medium/long range. Though that always seems to be the case following periods of -dAAMt. The upcoming pattern (as it would present within the in situ state) doesn’t appear to carry substantial potential for negative precip departures in that region.

That said, the pattern will almost certainly become more meridional during week-2, so excessive precipitation doesn’t seem like a widespread risk in northern regions, either.

Stopped by my old stomping grounds this morning…The golf course I spent nearly a decade working at back in the late 90’s into the 2000’s. It shut down a few years ago and has since been newly resurrected as a disc golf course. I had no idea how popular it is, in all my years I rarely saw the parking lot that full like it was this morning. Good to see that property being utilized again. Though #9 Fairway is not up to my grooming standards haha!

Ah. Played that once in probably 2002 or 2003 with a good friend and his grandfather who died not too long after. One of my childhood golf courses where I spent many summers at camp etc closed down in mid aughts sometime. Was so weird to see it overgrown and abandoned. They did nothing with it. Tall chief RIP
