Phil Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 Interestingly, the EPS members with the hottest outcomes tend to break down the the ridge the fastest, with a good number of troughy solutions by D12, where-as the more muted members kind of just hang the pattern there.

Some parts of Western Washington county out near the Coast Range had huge snow totals from what I remember.

Deweydog Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 20 minutes ago, SilverFallsAndrew said: As I frequently explain to IBR Chris. It's not really an extreme or interesting if it happens 2-3 times a year. If we had "historic" arctic outbreaks 2-3 times every winter at some point they would become less exciting. That’s fair. But the 2-3 times a season analysis is pretty hyperbolic from a protracted standpoint. By a slightly subjective analysis we’ve seen five “historic” heat events in the last 20 years. Yes, two were in the last 13 months and in mid range worry mode about a third, but that’s a pretty short term test for establishing long term frequency. 1 Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

The extremes are, have been, and will continue to be overwhelmingly on one side of the spectrum. It is what it is.
