Tim's all time favorite PNW winters are 2002-03 and 1991-92. January 1985 does make his short list though. 

Wasn't here for either.   But was here for 2004-05 and 2014-15.

I was 7 years old for the 91-92' winter and even at that age I remember realizing it was incredibly lame.

Less than stellar skiing those winters.

Mountain got a lot bigger in the last year  or so.

The Cascade snowpack in Oregon was pretty much gone by this time last year. 

In other news I mowed for the first time this spring yesterday.

18Z GFS actually shows a West Coast warm finger on Sunday... and one hell of an East Coast warm finger!    I realize the West Coast part won't happen... but it is an interesting map.

Snowpack was actually deeper this time last year in most places in the Central and Northern Cascades. If the cool weather keeps up for another couple weeks though that will change quickly.

How we got to this point is quite different however. Take Skookum Creek which is almost directly east of Duvall at 3,300'. Last year by May 16th it had already lost 40% of its peak snowpack at the beginning of April. This year it has only lost 16% of a peak that was a couple weeks ago. See image below (Black line is 2022, blue line is 2021).

I know I have an absolutely horrible reputation here, and most wanted me gone for good after I was banned in September. Much of that is my own fault. But I would like some honest feedback. What exactly am I doing to make the preference wars worse than they would otherwise be in this cool and wet spring? I mean besides simply being present and having the history I do. I post daily obs and commentary of the models, maybe the occasional nature pic, and have been actively avoiding direct engagement in this garbage for months now. I have my opinions of course, but I have gone out of my way to avoid personally insulting others and jumping in on the many arguments. Hopefully that hasn’t gone complete unnoticed by everyone.

good post. forgot how good snow pack was last year up here. interesting that the peak was close to median time even with so much more. Will be interesting to see how long we hold on to pack given that the long range models keep insisting on no persistent ridging.

The stack in front of the shop was split during the period of benign weather in January and early February this year. It is now stacked in the shop ready to go next winter. Going to rent a splitter for the rest as it is mostly oak.

The high cloud blow off from Vancouver Island on the satellite loop is really fun to watch right now... must be strong winds aloft.

Looks like my area had 6-10 inches with that. Way too much wind to measure properly though. The winds during that were really strong in my area.

Looks like the west metro area of PDX had a lot more snow than the east metro during that event. The dry air must've lowered snow amounts on the east side. Recently though, it seems as if the east metro has been doing better because of proximity to the Gorge, such as early Feb 2019, some of Feb 2018 and Feb 2021.

7.11" of rain on the month. Pushes my total since January to a whopping 50.84"!

Definitely slowed down from January/February where I was in double digits. April owns the crown as the driest month.

 

EDIT: Somehow my stats got ported to Granite Falls? Well at least Granite Falls isn't drowning, I thought my stats were a little lower than I expected. Fixed now. Only a...17" difference lmao

One last shot as the storm approached earlier this evening. It was a pretty one with good structure. Always fun to see the inflow along with the hail circulation within the updrafts!

0.90" on the day and 3.24" on the month. Things are beginning to look lush again!

Wow! That is a beautiful shot! The blue greens of the hail core are always so beautiful in photos (I've never seen a strong storm in person). Thanks for sharing!
