If anything so far this month we have over achieved on these numbers, or they have been pretty on track. 6.83" this month, compared to about 2.6" at SLE, so overall it probably overdoes it a little for the valley and is pretty close for up here. 2 Quote Snowfall Precip 2022-23: 95.0" 2022-23: 17.39" 2021-22: 52.6" 2021-22: 91.46" 2020-21: 12.0" 2020-21: 71.59" 2019-20: 23.5" 2019-20: 58.54" 2018-19: 63.5" 2018-19: 66.33" 2017-18: 30.3" 2017-18: 59.83" 2016-17: 49.2" 2016-17: 97.58" 2015-16: 11.75" 2015-16: 68.67" 2014-15: 3.5" 2013-14: 11.75" 2013-14: 62.30 2012-13: 16.75" 2012-13: 78.45 2011-12: 98.5" 2011-12: 92.67" It's always sunny at Winters Hill!

VancouverIslandSouth Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 A few low temperature records set across BC yesterday. Only got up to 49F here in Victoria, though there hasn't been much rain. Even today with mostly sunny skies it's struggling to break 50F. We're heading to Prague and Central Europe next month, I've got to say I never realized how much warmer their spring climate is are compared with ours. Daily temperatures are showing in the range of 70-80F for the next couple weeks and some of those days are rainy. Meanwhile we're struggling to reach their overnight lows during the day.

Omegaraptor Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 I was in the “January 1950 is impossible in our modern climo” camp - but looking at what we’ve seen in the last couple years, I’m not so sure. December 2013 and the -10 at Eugene proved that record winter cold is still possible in lowland PNW. We would have looked back on that in awe if it happened in the 1800s, but to pull it off in 21st century climo says a lot. We have seen several major snow events in different parts of the region just in the last few years too. February 2021 could have gone much, much better than it did for PNW and CA. Clearly epic conditions like that are possible… but can we get them to last for a month plus like they did in 1950 and 1968-69? That’s the big question. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen several major snow events in different parts of the region just in the last few years too. February 2021 could have gone much, much better than it did for PNW and CA. Clearly epic conditions like that are possible… but can we get them to last for a month plus like they did in 1950 and 1968-69? That’s the big question. I think something like January 1969 is more likely than January 1950. Now something like January 1957 is something I could realistically see happening. For extreme winter cold, snowfall is a huge factor, that and clear skies. Two things that we have trouble lining up sometimes. Even an airmass like the one we saw in late February would have been able to put up some decent #'s if it had hit in the heart of winter. Get something like that with a little snow event going into it and suddenly we are looking at something truly meaningful.

December 2013 and the -10 at Eugene proved that record winter cold is still possible in lowland PNW. We would have looked back on that in awe if it happened in the 1800s, but to pull it off in 21st century climo says a lot.

This past December 2021 into early January was pretty memorable in Puget Sound. For a moment I thought it would last a month. The past few winters have been pretty good imho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the wind kept PDX from getting any impressive temps, and no transition event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
