TT-SEA Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I think Tim wants his snow to melt! So badly. So much so that warm rain sounds downright lovely right now. Luckily there is plenty of that ahead.

I'm really jealous of Kalispell they are on track for a 100" winter. I think you have to go back to '96-'97 for that in Missoula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawniganLake Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I might be stuck right around 7 feet for awhile.. there is always April though!That's pretty awesome, I think. One thing that keeps snow totals down here is the fact that cold showery onshore flow patterns, like the one we have been in, almost never produce much snow here. We almost always get shadowed by the mountains to our west. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The December overrun that quickly changed to rain and melted was responsible for half of that and much of the rest of it came in late March/April where it also melted rapidly. I guess it shows there's a lot more to a good winter than overall snowfall totals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverFallsAndrew Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I would like to see another 1-2" snowfall. Just to cap off the season.

IbrChris Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Pretty good odds of first 60 of the year at PDX Mon-Wed next week...depending on whether we can get some sunbreaks between systems. First 70 at Medford likely Sun-Tue timeframe. Gradual cooling trend back half of next week into the following weekend as an upper level trough moves closer to the PNW. Highs below 50 at PDX look fairly unlikely in the next 15 days. 2 Quote The Pacific Northwest: Where storms go to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I'm really hoping Phil is right. So you want a cloudy, cold, rainy summer? As opposed to a sunnier summer with temps maybe below normal? I would be perfectly happy with the latter... but I think you want the former primarily so that me and other people who have moved here are very unhappy. Show the PNW at its worst with no summer.

IbrChris Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 My educated guess would be April 2017 ends up below normal and wetter than normal for the PNW (possibly Cali as well)...a good analog may be April 2012. Beyond that there's less of a signal, although most long-range guidance is showing May as normal to below normal in the PNW. Summer is still up in the air even from a long-range standpoint, although a move toward El Nino would suggest warmer than normal temps at some point in the JJA.

I am guessing there is only a 50% chance of an El Nino developing. Decent chance we stay either side of neutral through the rest of the year. Very wet weather in February and March seems to be a fairly good sign for late spring and summer. And the reverse can be true as well... 1993 had the driest February ever here. No way to know much at this point given the lack of a strong ENSO signal. I am thinking it will be nicer than what I was assuming last year when I thought we would be in the middle of a strong multi-year Nina at this point.
