Popular Post wx_statman Posted January 13, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Thought I'd share a couple more pictures I took last night. This is from a Section 8 housing project @ NE 45th & Broadway. Its a 14 story building that creates a vortex when hit by east winds. Some pretty crazy drifting as a result, on the east side of the building: 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like to see it though! gfs_T850_us_53.png gfs_T850_nwus_53.pngWe will have one more chance of cold weather towards the end of January to mid February, leaning more towards the first 2 weeks of Feb. It's going to be hard to top what PDX just had but a more region wide event would be awesome. I'm hoping you guys up north get some snow before this winter ends.

I was surprised I never got lower than 13 last week. I'm in a good spot for radiational cooling and it was a pretty cold airmass. I got down to 11 in January, 2013, though actually I'm not sure the airmass last week was much colder than that one.

We live well east of PDX off of 164th in Vancouver and it's calm here. Seems like it might be more of a gap wind, which can very often be confined within a few miles of the mouth of the Gorge.

Front Ranger Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I think what happened in Portland last night is somewhat similar to what happened here on 12/1/2005. Departing low with cold air coming behind it and a deformation zone on the back side that just pounded eastern King and Pierce counties. I had 17 inches of snow in about 8 hours night that. Someone here probably remembers the details... but the events last night in Portland reminded me of that event. We had thundersnow that night as well, Yeah, it was fairly similar. That's the storm that gave me about 5" in Tacoma and Puyallup got 8". Mostly fell in about a 4 hour period. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Front Ranger Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Just not enough teeth to our airmasses this century. Highs in the 20's under full sunshine has been a rare sight here since December 1998. This one, despite its glory, might not even deliver a sub-32 high. Nov 2010 and Feb 2011 both would have certainly delivered 20s highs had they occurred a little later/earlier. As it was, PDX just barely made it out of the 20s with both of those.

Deweydog Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 What are your thoughts on inversion potential the next few days? December 2005 on steroids?We'll see how or if things get capped off in the basin. The best cold pools are those that start with clear nights and cap off with persistent stratus. Of course the difference with this would be the fact even a strengthening inversion would bring some moderation as we're NOT starting from a mild start. 1 Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

luminen Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I didn't take any of these pics but I thought I'd share them. The first pic is from UBC on January 2nd I believe. The second pic is from early january which clearly shows the shaftzone known as Bellingham. The third is from last weekend in central Vancouver. It's been an amazing ~35 days for Vancouver. It's been a good run. Hopefully late January to early February provides a region-wide event ala 2008. Certainly no reason why we can't. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deweydog Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 That doesn't always necessarily mean winds at PDX in a gap wind setup like this. Troutdale was gusting to 35 mph much of last night while PDX was calm.The snow cover increases the chances they'll decouple fully. There will be lots of little inversions forming with the low level moisture. 1 Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
