VancouverIslandSouth Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Ended up with 2.25" up here this morning. Looks like the heaviest band missed us to the east. Very pretty snow though. It was wet and breezy and stuck to everything. Sometime around 2-3am was the highlight here, we ended up with about 1/2" of snow in a rain-to-snow transition, most of which melted off early this morning. Had it just come in a bit later or been a bit colder ECs call might not have been too far off, there's been about 0.2" of equivalent melted precipitation. I think the NAM actually had a pretty good handle on the event within 12 hours, way better than the WRF. Currently 35F with non-accumulating snow.

Phil Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Given all the Arctic ice hype this winter, I thought I'd post this interesting paper (Stein et al 2017) just published, analyzing the variations of the Arctic sea ice extent through the Holocene interstadial. Goes to show how centennial-scale orbital fluctuations are the primary drivers of the Arctic climate via changes in equator/pole thermal gradient and associated circulation/poleward heat transport. The current Arctic sea ice extent is actually relatively high by the standards of the last 11krs. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jqs.2929/abstract In this study, we present new detailed biomarker-based sea ice records from two sediment cores recovered in the Chukchi Sea and the East Siberian Sea. These new biomarker data may provide new insights on processes controlling recent and past sea ice changes. The biomarker proxy records show (i) minimum sea ice extent during the Early Holocene, (ii) a prominent Mid-Holocene short-term high-amplitude variability in sea ice, primary production and Pacific-Water inflow, and (iii) significantly increased sea ice extent during the last ca. 4.5k cal a BP. This Late Holocene trend in sea ice change in the Chukchi and East Siberian Seas seems to be contemporaneous with similar changes in sea ice extent recorded from other Arctic marginal seas. The main factors controlling the millennial variability in sea ice (and surface-water productivity) are probably changes in surface water and heat flow from the Pacific into the Arctic Ocean as well as the long-term decrease in summer insolation. The short-term centennial variability observed in the high-resolution Middle Holocene record is probably related to solar forcing. Our new data on Holocene sea ice variability may contribute to synoptic reconstructions of regional to global Holocene climate change based on terrestrial and marine archives.The instrumental record (higher resolution) would put today's value closer to ~0.55. http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww243/phillywillie/Mobile%20Uploads/8AE6B7E1-A4CD-4690-8B7D-2DADA798D99A_zpsc9nlby2a.jpg Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
