Guest administrator Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Anyone want to check up on Judah and make sure he is ok? If this continues into early February, then I legit fear for his beloved machine learning MSPaint model.

SnowHawks Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 More importantly what would it take for a region wide snowstorm. I know over running events will do it, but that would mean an end to the snow and cold air. I have seen the recent Kuchera maps and well, they are a joke. This hit or miss BS gets a little tiring.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 If I recall the 12/14/16 event didn't come into focus until about 48 hours before the event. Even then it seemed incredibly marginal and I remember on the morning of 12/14 driving to the airport not completely sold that the valley was going to score. Some light snow had begun to fall by the time I got to the terminal, and my wife somehow missed the traffic Armageddon on the Portland freeways and made it to work in Mt. Angel where several inches of snow had already fallen by that time. My Dad works in Dallas, OR and just made it across the Marion St Bridge in Salem before they had to close it (Salem only has one bridge over the Willamette River.). Quite a few people missed my flight due to getting stuck in traffic. It was a bit of a bummer I missed the cold weather that followed, though while I was in Oklahoma we had a ferocious arctic frontal passage and a low around 0 one morning. 5 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!

We have only so many bites at the Apple. Region wide storms, generally referring to that which would encompass the entirely of the PDX/SEA metro areas, require a ton of warm air advection. Something like 1/6/04 or 12/20/08 where you have a massive amount of low level cold air availability and a massive amount of Pacific moisture. 5 My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

LowerGarfield Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Snow stopped right after I took that photo so good for Poulsbo for getting me to sneak out to finish up. Going to put the board away in about ten minutes. 1.70 storm total underperformed but I'll never complain for a event that allowed us to briefly play outside before school/work or anything over an inch. We had no melting yesterday at least and a subfreezing high (but those are routine here but still fun). Some of the snow on the trees is falling but not much so not a ton of melt. 2 Garfield County/Pomeroy, WA: 2023-2024 Snowfall totals: 14.3 inches HIghest snow total (per event): 5.8 inches total 1/11/24 - 1/12/24.
