TT-SEA Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Can we feel good about snow in King County if the goofy over-estimating GFS shows basically nothing?

TT-SEA Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 And yes... we can feel good about snow because the GFS is likely have issues with moisture placement. 7 **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 One more note... it is absolutely gorgeous outside. Currently 39 in North Bend and 36 here but the dewpoint is in the 20s so nothing is melting. And its very pleasant and does not feel cold at all and the moon is shining on the snow. Below freezing dewpoints are everything! 5 **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 I would like this weather for the rest of the month... with a snow event every 2 or 3 days to freshen things up.

It’s why I haven’t been super excited about this setup. This kind of setup we won’t get much more precip than the valley, and usually rates remain rather light, we will probably get colder tonight than the valley so that will help in the beginning. We’re an onshore flow monster, it’s our bread and butter. The pattern in late December 2021 or January 2012 was perfect for us. Those kinds of patterns where we are in cold onshore flow with a stalled arctic front to the north absolutely bury us. 3 Snowfall Precip 2022-23: 95.0" 2022-23: 17.39" 2021-22: 52.6" 2021-22: 91.46" 2020-21: 12.0" 2020-21: 71.59" 2019-20: 23.5" 2019-20: 58.54" 2018-19: 63.5" 2018-19: 66.33" 2017-18: 30.3" 2017-18: 59.83" 2016-17: 49.2" 2016-17: 97.58" 2015-16: 11.75" 2015-16: 68.67" 2014-15: 3.5" 2013-14: 11.75" 2013-14: 62.30 2012-13: 16.75" 2012-13: 78.45 2011-12: 98.5" 2011-12: 92.67" It's always sunny at Winters Hill!

Hyperbolic Trendz Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 If there was to be an impromptu forum Miss Misery contest judging the most sad-sack location over the past five years for snow, I would think South Metro PDX members might be frontrunners for the crown, which in this case would take the form of a vinyl yellow Sou’Wester to deflect the pissing, cold rains.. Gladstone, lower Oregon City, Wilsonville—while not completely snow-deprived—have had a tough five year stretch. Perhaps that’s why it’s a little tough to stomach the incessant whining coming from the S. Valley over the years, which has had some impressively fun events during this same stretch. One could point to Jan. 2017 as a counterpoint but as Prairiedog has outlined in the past that was an exceedingly frustrating event in S.Metro with hours of 34 degree driving rains before a charity turnover to snow to illustrate painfully what could have been. Feb.21 we won the ice battle and were rewarded with once in a lifetime power outages. The last time I can remember getting over on other metro locations was maybe the first December event in 2008 (the 13th perhaps) where our 3-4 inches felt like a win. It’s an increasingly difficult place to achieve snow success and outflow events aren’t saving us like they used to. But that’s likely a matter of unfavorable low placements. It’s a unique and interesting location for its snow impotence. That’s why an event like tomorrow barely warrants a second look here. But I’m willing to admit that proximity to greatness might be breeding unjustified jealousy (and whining). For people here that are smarter than me (most) do you have any thoughts about this area’s snow mitigating factors? 4 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRG Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 I don't post a lot (obviously) but if there was a seasonally adjusted platinum level lurker status, my hat would be in the ring... Temp of 37.0 and dp of 24. East winds have been gusting just a little more in the last couple hours. We're on the northern end of the west slope at Mt Tabor in east PDX so we get muted northerlies at our house during east wind events - like an eddy in a river, the source presents "weird". 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
