Of course it was coming on top of a 10"+ snowpack so the trees were already weighed down. Probably the most devastating ice storm on record for Portland-Vancouver and the western gorge, along with February 1-2, 1916. The power was out in Clark County for about a week. Imagine if that was all snow! Same with February 2021 in my location, if the low was 10 miles to the south, I would've had 10-12 inches of snow, but I had 4.5 inches and a lot of sleet and some ice.

Front Ranger Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 4 hours ago, Phil said: The GFS was projecting a deep trough here with a cat3 hurricane slamming New Orleans. It was nowhere close with the large scale pattern. A complete and utter failure. That's one fascinating aspect of models. They can be very wrong/right overall, but the opposite for micro-areas that matter much more for an individual person. Of course, overall the Euro owns all other models for both large-scale and small-scale pattern projections, but it's still not uncommon to see results diverge. 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Corvallis definitely did well in 2013/2014. My area can do really well sometimes when the east winds go over the west hills and meet the warmer air in a system.

Phil Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 So many summers over the last decade have been dominated by +TNH/warm pool forcing. End result is broad Hadley Cell/4CH, which torches the coasts while dropping troughs into the Plains/Midwest. Worst possible pattern for the large population centers across the country.
