GobBluth Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 2 hours ago, Meatyorologist said: Probably in the form of undercutters, or NW sliders like the potential system next week. This perfect, unblemished ridging is unsustainable this time of year. Push it any further than this, and we'll be getting into some real zany territory, far removed from not only climo, but also previous high water marks for Fall ridging. We're already beginning to right now. An undercutting pattern later this winter as the Pacific jet gets its act together would be textbook Nina. Just odd that the blocking regime has already commenced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverFallsAndrew Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Silver Falls also had 9 straight lows in the teens to close out November 1952. https://climate.usu.edu/mapServer/reports/e15daily.php?stn=USC00357809&year=1952&month=11&unit=EN&network=direct:ghcn&sidebar=0 Also checked out 1942 since Wiz has brought it up quite a few times now. Not really seeing the correlation there... But fun to look at. September was very warm and incredibly dry, but in a continental way with a lot of big diurnal ranges. Just a different climate back then, you could have warm days, but lows would recover at night. October 1942 was warm as well, but it did end up raining 5.5" that month. November was extremely wet, with temps near average. December was very wet with a nice snow event towards the beginning of the month, and then fairly mild. January was great, and February and March were decent, both with snow events too. Overall I would definitely take a similar winter. 1 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!

Omegaraptor Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Wondering whether to ski Hoodoo this year or get Ikon Base Pass. Ikon Base gives you 5 days at Crystal and 5 days at Bachelor. Of course Hoodoo has $29 Thursdays as well. I’d go up to Seattle for winter break to ski Crystal but PNW skiing in December is kind of hit or miss.

It can’t possibly explain every unusual weather event / unusual temps. But hopefully we will get to know more about the effects on climate soon. Well, the effects could easily be state dependent. However the spring pattern was almost certainly driven by the very late SSW/dynamic final warming in March. Not Tonga.

Phil Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Tonga could have directly aided in the redevelopment of the Niña, but the middle latitude pattern during the spring was almost certainly driven by the SSW in March.
