Perturbed Member Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Well, we sit in a bowl below the South Hill of Puyallup. It's like a giant armpit. It takes a pretty good surge of arctic air to cool us down enough to get snow. Once the cold air settles in, all it takes is one of my chili farts to scour out the cold and turn fluffy white snow to rain. That about sums it up. Lol... yes... the swamp highlands. Even with the elevation we still have a very similar climate affects of either shadowing, downsloping, and mixing out rapidly. It is an interesting microclimate that both PuyallupJohn and I live in. My elevation helps a little but not much overall. Hmm, doesn't sound too fun for snow. Maybe that's an understatement. What is the annual snowfall amount? Can you guys benefit from the PSCZ?

Heavy Snow Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 The dry east winds will eat up some more of the moisture in east metro. That could possibly explain the difference in snow amounts.Yeah I definitely see those with lots of Gorge influence seeing less snow but as others have mentioned, I don't think it will gobble up as much moisture as previous events this winter. I think areas near Forest Grove will get the most snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DareDuck Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 My yard pack went all the way down to 12-13". Even some spots down to 10". I'm near 100% sure I'm not getting 2+ foot depths this winter. (Not long ago this was a huge possibility. It easily could have ended up between 24-30")My snowpack is down to 20" after compacting with some sleet and zr. However with tomorrow's snow it could approach 30" for a couple days. 1 Quote Bend, ORElevation: 3550' Snow History:Nov: 1"Dec: .5"Jan: 1.9"Feb: 12.7"Mar: 1.0"Total: 17.1" 2016/2017: 70"2015/2016: 34"Average: ~25" 2017/2018 Winter TempsLowest Min: 1F on 2/23Lowest Max: 23F on 12/24, 2/22Lows <32: 87Highs <32: 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-SEA Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 At face value it's definitely better than 18z, though. We'll see what WRF says. get_orig_img (1).gif get_orig_img.gif WRF is a little better... and I think it will end up north of the operational run. Not sure it will be true sticking snow for places below 500 feet though.
