It has seemed like anything but that up here in Bellingham. I work at BLI and start at 4am. We send a 5:45AM flight out every morning, and we've only deiced a handful of times, and I've yet to even wear gloves! I'm sure that'll change next week... But anyway, I'm shocked by the data Snowwiz.. I haven't looked at it, but taking your word for it! "Of the century" only includes the last 21 years and those years have been fairly warm as a group. Now if it were the coldest November "in a century," well, that you would notice. (Not to say it's not been nice, just saying it really emphasizes how warm recent history has been around here.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 2 minutes ago, TT-SEA said: Totally agree... it has been one of the most pleasant Novembers I can remember. It has not seemed unusually cold. But its all relative since wind and rain every day like we often have in November would be warmer but seem colder. True! We had like 12-14 days with basically no precip and clear skies every night. It didn't get that cold but consistently low to mid 30's with the occasional 20's in there. A major change from the typical November where we sometimes see ZERO lows below freezing, and zero clear nights. Who would have thought a colder climate would be much more enjoyable around here! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_in_Leavenworth Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 1 minute ago, Brennan said: Also, does anyone have any idea what it'll be like in Leavenworth face value Tuesday through Thursday? This looks like a pretty snowy pattern. Definitely cold enough for snow of course. Models are showing a lot of snow. Spokane NWS seems to be more focused on Spokane for that storm than the western zones, but that of course is where the population is, and they are also now a bit more focused on the storm tonight over the mountains. Tonights storm wont give us much storm, since it looks to be directly coming out of the NW where we get heavily shadowed, but the midweek storm is different. Though it keeps changing, but every model run shows us getting good snow. By the way, I think you have kids now? Our Festhalle at the the East end of town has some good kid activities (crafts for kids, letters to Santa, Santa costumes from around the world, food to eat, etc. And I hate to promote sappy Christmas movies (my wife loves them), but there is one for the Lifetime channel that will air at 8PM Friday, the 2nd, and it was set and filmed in Leavenworth. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't mistaken on the timeframe, just really surprised given the lack of true cold this month. November 2006, 2010, 2011 all featured major arctic blasts here and had significant snowfall, so naturally in my mind those months seemed like they would have been colder. it's like the power of compound interest... slow growth (or consistently cool days/nights) is going to outperform the occasional home run investment if the rest are blanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that what has made it cold without a major blast is that it has been consistently below normal for almost the entire month. Often months with an arctic blasts will also have periods of warmer than normal weather, and sometimes the arctic blast will only have cold temps for a week. Interesting that Spokane is only 2 days away from breaking the all time November record for having at least one inch of snow on the ground for the most number of days.

However, if there's no snow, that activity is out the door. The cabin is available Monday through Thursday, and we're debating going for a few nights... Just hard to decide with the uncertainty of the forecast here as well. if it's going to snow 6+ inches in Bellingham, no sense in fighting the pass in snow to get there. We went over there end of January in 2021, and arrived around 11pm, January 27th and it had just snowed 18" or so over the past couple of days. We had to park the Pilot at the bottom of the hill and walk alllllllll the way up. I made 6 trips getting each child, my wife, the sleds, our bags, cooler with food etc etc. When we left that evening my wife asked if we'd be able to make it up the driveway (I didn't tell her that the owner said the plow was broken and the driveway had 6+" of fresh snow on top of compact snow/ice)... I was like Oh, sure it'll be no problem (I didn't want to risk her not letting us leave until the next morning)... One of those ask for forgiveness later scenarios. Anyways, I got a full on sweat getting us up to the house, but it was 1000% worth it. One of the most fun few days in the snow I've ever had.

Gradient Keeper Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 12z GFS Day 3 and Day 4 (Past 20 runs, 5 days of model runs) Here you can see the trend to strengthen and amplify the block sooner reorganizing further west over the Bering Sea and Western Alaska as it merges with another high pressure cell moving off Siberia. In comparison to runs 4-5 days ago where the ridge strengthened more slowly around ~160-150 W. In fact, you can see the initial trough over us and entire pattern over the US also slowly shifts to the west. As a piece of energy rounds the block it digs back too far west over Southeast Alaska rather than moving down through Yukon and interior BC as the cold runs showed earlier this week. Over the next 2-3 runs we need to see a trend for the block to migrate a bit to the east and not amplify as quickly. It just doesn't seem likely though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skagit Weather Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 1 hour ago, Nov1985 said: If the 18" (10:1) 21" (Kuchera) for my house actually gets half that, I'll be satisfied for the week. Models very flaky beyond 72 hours still, so fun to watch this play out. The problem with snow is that it doesn't work like really any of the other weather phenomena. If 2-3" of rain are forecast you could have a relatively big shift of the forecast and still end up with over an inch of rain. But with snow, 1 degree makes such a difference. The snow maps look great right now and I would take half or even a quarter of what they're showing, but if the storm tracks 10 miles more north, then we actually end up with 0% of what they're showing. In marginal situations like this, I just don't trust any snow that falls with temperatures above freezing. Currently 9" out of 10" shown by the Euro and 16" out of 20" shown by the GFS at my location fall with temperatures above freezing. Of course that's possible and happens not infrequently, but is still to be looked at with caution. So even if the upper levels and temperatures play out exactly as forecast I would be surprised to see more than 5" which isn't even taking into account the likely moderating of temperatures as well approach. But I'm looking forward to the ride and hoping it all goes perfectly! 1 1 Home Wx Station Stats (Since January 2008): Max Temp: 96.3F (2009) Min Temp: 2.0F (2008) Max Wind Gust: 45 mph (2018, 2021) Wettest Day: 2.34 (11/4/22) Avg Yearly Precip: 37" 10yr Avg Snow: 8.0" Snowfall Totals '08-09: 30" | '09-10: 0.5" | '10-11: 21" | '11-12: 9.5" | '12-13: 0.2" | '13-14: 6.2" | '14-15: 0.0" | '15-16: 0.25"| '16-17: 8.0" | '17-18: 0.9"| '18-19: 11.5" | '19-20: 11" | '20-21: 10.5" | '21-22: 21.75" | '22-23: 10.0" 2023-24: 7.0" (1/17: 3", 1/18: 1.5", 2/26: 0.5", 3/4: 2.0", Flakes: 1/11, 1/16) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 12 minutes ago, Gradient Keeper said: 12z GFS Day 3 and Day 4 (Past 20 runs, 5 days of model runs) Here you can see the trend to strengthen and amplify the block sooner reorganizing further west over the Bering Sea and Western Alaska as it merges with another high pressure cell moving off Siberia. In comparison to runs 4-5 days ago where the ridge strengthened more slowly around ~160-150 W. In fact, you can see the initial trough over us and entire pattern over the US also slowly shifts to the west. As a piece of energy rounds the block it digs back too far west over Southeast Alaska rather than moving down through Yukon and interior BC as the cold runs showed earlier this week. Over the next 2-3 runs we need to see a trend for the block to migrate a bit to the east and not amplify as quickly. It just doesn't seem likely though.

Now if it were the coldest November "in a century," well, that you would notice. (Not to say it's not been nice, just saying it really emphasizes how warm recent history has been around here.) By far, you have my favorite name here. And I love the backstory. RMAOFL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
