My grandfather was a meteorologist for the navy in WW2. Said we have one of the most difficult areas in the world to forecast. Maybe that's why. 

Oklahoma is also very difficult to forecast as well!

Maybe the reason why there are so many here that are not from the PNW is so they can try their luck for their forecasting there!

Never say Never with Weather, because anything is possible!

All observations are in Tecumseh, OK unless otherwise noted

What makes Oklahoma difficult to forecast? For example: it’s difficult for us here because of our microclimates.

2006-07 was a high quality nino winter. It acted like a la niña. I would take it over quite a few la niña winters that I've experienced.

ENSO ain't everything. Record rainfall, two substantial arctic events, biggest windstorm since 1991. Great stuff!

I feel like I'm waiting for the approach of the Arctic front. To my west Anacortes AQI values are now in the 20s. To my east Mount Vernon AQI values are above 150. Definitely clearer here than any time in the last few days, but the smoke is still hanging around.

I just want strong blocking this winter. Only a handful of major PNW cities are able to get snow from a Pacific storm pattern. The rest of the region needs some form of Arctic air interacting with Pacific moisture. 2010-11 had strong blocking. It didn't always benefit us, but when it did, we ended up having high impact events. November 2010 was an impressive event and so was February 2011.

That winter was one of the all time greats for the Sierra. I had 330" at my house. Resorts had around 800" It snowed 2 days before the 4th of July

First 20 days of October summary at PDX:

 

All 20 days warmer than normal

0.00’’ precipitation

65.8 average temperature

>8 degrees above normal

1 day <5 degrees above normal

1 high temp below 70

3 low temps below 50

Highest temp = 88

Lowest temp = 48

12 days above 80

 

The warmest October ever is a lock. That’s after the warmest week ever in July, the warmest month ever in August, and the warmest September ever. The most anomalously warm month ever is still possible.

Now that the RRR is behind us, let’s cheers to bountiful lowland rain and mountain snow, cool temps, and some exciting model riding. We have earned this drink.

Just noticed my weather station recorded .01” of rainfall from this morning! 
Also .01” for the month! 
Oh and down to 49 degrees!

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Tim wanting to complain about the rain the minute it starts, but realizing midterms are coming up and it won’t play well with constituents

Everyone I talk to is really excited for the rain, but most of them will probably be complaining about it by Halloween 😅
