However last night after seven years and nearly four thousand followers, they decided to abruptly shut down the account without any reason nor indication. For those unaware, this account was an "institution" of sorts throughout western washington going back to the winter of 2015. Their insight coupled with the embedded humour is what made the account so quirky, likable and informative. And it showed in the responses from folks in the tweet thread with many folks expressing their disbelief. Many were shocked at the news (myself included) and cannot fathom why, all of a sudden, such an established and go-to local weather account would just "go away"? Especially considering they had some of the biggest name followers across the country in the weather community. Hopefully they return again. He's done this before, threatening to leave. Only difference is now he's actually deactivated his account. He also recently came down with more Covid symptoms, potentially even worse than before. 1 1 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...

Major AR started as warm rain, went to snow, and then turned VERY cold for a long time. Also a decent event in December 1974. It also appears that Jan 1880 was a huge AR event that was able to mix with enough Arctic air to where it all fell as feet of snow.

He hasn’t been around Thanks for asking. Yeah I don't post much until Winter approaches. And I took a time out because I was in Europe for awhile and I had a bit of bickering with someone that, while wasn't too bad, it also wasn't the way I want to be on the forum. Yeah we had 3-4 feet of snow last January in a little over 24 hours. Perfect scenario with a moist, slow moving system with the low pressure to our South, and we already had pretty cold air in place. The location of the low kept warmer air to the South and brought up-slope winds into the eastern slopes which only enhanced the snowfall rates. Sometimes we see the atmospheric river come over us and dump heavy snow then rain as the low goes North and brings warmer air. This time it stayed South. 1996 also brought heavy snow to Bellingham. We already had probably 12-18 inches on the ground from previous storms that started before Christmas. Seattle and areas South didn't see the snow until the 26th of December. On about the 29th the atmospheric river brought very heavy snow, probably another 18 inches before turning to rain the next day, while areas like Victoria stayed snow longer. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
