If we establish a good Columbia Basin cold pool we just need a suppressed jet into California with a system approaching from the southwest for us to score, specifically PDX metro/Gorge.

Wouldn’t be that hard just really time consuming going through every station’s records, and trying to fill in crucial missing data. Accurate snowfall data is so sparse and inconsistent that you’d have to lean almost entirely on personal knowledge and expertise of our microclimates. Easiest way would probably be to start with a topographic map and make adjustments for latitude, outflow, shadowing, convergence, cold air damming, orographic lift, and proximity to the water. 4 Everett Snowfall (510 feet elevation) Snow since February 2019: 91" 2023-24: 6" 2022-23: 17.5" 2021-22: 17.75" 2020-21: 14.5” 2019-20: 10.5" 2018-19: 24.75" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
