Meatyorologist Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 40 minutes ago, SilverFallsAndrew said: Not often. I saw snow fall during the cold trough around May 20,2013, didn’t stick though. People who have lived up here all their lives say it has definitely happened before, in terms of sticking in May. It makes physical sense. As winter ends and Spring begins, the land warms much more quickly than the ocean, so cold oceanic airmasses retain their bite well into the season, favoring the foothills into May; while continental Arctic airmasses disappear entirely after early to mid April, let alone retain their effectiveness after mid March. By this point in the year it would be nearly impossible for my locale to see snow in any form, yet at your elevation it only takes a somewhat notable airmass and some okay timing. No matter what though, snow or not, this precipitation and unseasonably cool weather is a godsend for the fire season prospects this warm season; particularly so since OR has joined in on the fun. 5 2 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 And there’s always the alternative “cool summer pathway”..east based +ENSO/+SPMM and cool WPAC. Narrow Hadley Cell/small 4CH and zonal NPAC is often the result (1983, 1993, etc). 2019 was a weak example of that type of regime (didn’t even have +SPMM) and it still torpedoed the 4CH that summer.

Now the creeks have water in them and the soil has moisture so it has turned what would have been a catastrophic early fire season into maybe a normal start to fire season.

Would help to know how much of the trendline is contaminated by UHI if we’re going to make large scale inferences (the post-2012 warm regime is obviously real, I’m referring more to the long term trend).

I keep expecting to see a 3-5 day sunny period showing up the models because that happens even in the coldest Nina years. But no luck yet. Thought we get lucky next week but that ship has sailed. 1 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re correct about having to account for water temperatures as well..makes attribution a lot more difficult. A fun project for someone with time on their hands. Maybe I’ll get around to it soon. Would be interested to see how it compares to Ocean Shores/Hoquiam, ect 1 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
