March in the Pacific Northwest


Recommended Posts

I had no accumulation in March. My last melting was in middle of February. Zero pretty much.

 

I had rain most of the time this winter.

 

I meant above average for precip.

Back to snowing in Klamath Falls. This time it's sticking on things especially grass and on roofs. Looking at radar though, there should not be much snow at all, moisture coverage is sparse at best. I'm guessing between 1/4" to 1/2" total until morning.

.. I'd have thought, relative to what you'd posted later last night.

I walk away from the forum for a few hours and come back to this.

 

The local sub forums are there to make it easier to find region specific content, because if someone were to post extensively about the Nor'Easter on the PNW forum, I'm sure most of us would not find it exactly useful. I know where Phil stands with my subforum decisions (and really anything that I have done on this site), but I would encourage others that if they do not like a post, you can ignore the poster, or report it.

 

Phil,

Please don't expect glowing responses to your photos or regional observations when they have no geographic bearing to this subforum. Plus sometimes it feels like you are discussing the burdens of wealth and food to a forum filled with war refugees.

 

This times a million.

Ah, misunderstood ya! Yeah, definitely way ahead of the rain game. I'd say I must have gotten at least a good 1/3 of the 2013 total by now. Any juicy t'storms this storm season should push me above average.

I'm not expecting "glowing responses" to anything I post, but I do expect a meager level of respect and civility, given the fact that everything I've done here has been well-intentioned.

 

I make a few "out-of-region" posts now and again, but the majority of my contributions are scientific in nature and apply to this subforum in one way or another...at least I hope they can be viewed as contributions...

 

Who gives a rat's azz whether or not someone lives in a "snowier" climate than someone else? Is that what drives the level of "respect" and/or "acceptance" you get around here? If true, that's quite sad, in my opinion.

In the Salem/Silverton area I've had over 3.00s of rain since I emptied my gauge on Wednesday afternoon.    Almost every day there was convective heavy showers hitting the area but non thunder.   It has been a pretty dark week though Saturday the sun came out at times to brighten the day but otherwise a nasty dull week but good for the crops and mountain snowpack.

 

Hopefully this rain isn't radioactive if it's coming from (that) area but who cares! As long as the mountains get their water supply we will be good for the upcoming summer!.  :)

12z Euro goes nuts with the ridging next week. GFS is a little more moderate with some pleasant days around 70.

Sounds good to me...But are you talking about the 0z or yesterdays 12z? I don't think todays 12z is available yet.

I'm not admin or anything but do try your best not to stray off topic from these subforums. I'm a t'storm/supercell fanatic but I go over to the midwest forums if I want to see info on that. Same thing if I want to see East Coast weather info. I know there are a handful of 'not so bright individuals' on here but don't let them get on your nerves. I live in a snowier climate too, just as Andrew does. We've all been talked back at, at one point or another, I just brush it off.

12Z ECMWF is just as nice with the ridge.

Not sure how that would be warmer than the 70s as Jesse is implying.    I am sure if this verifies it will be beautiful for everyone... highs in the low 70s and lows in the 40s.

 

Not buying into it yet... the GFS looks pretty crashy and it takes a long time for the warm frontal rain to move through up here.     Probably more realistic.  

 

Side note... just checking the weather in MN.   There is a county in SW MN that is under a tornado warning AND a blizzard warning at the same time!

Nothing came out of yesterday evening's snowfall. Stopped literally minutes after I posted around 7:30pm. Didn't make it to sticking on roads yet, so that does not qualify as actual accumulation (only on cars, roofs and grass).

 

Today looks like another chilly 40 degree afternoon. Very blustery out there along with an occasional wet snow shower.

The Euro looks pretty warm. Probably upper 70s for the Portland area. The GFS is much more moderate, thus far.

Meaning it's been forever since we have had a notably cold January here. We've had a bunch of other odd things that have gone along with that like the stat Justin mentioned of March overtaking February for normal rainfall.

 

.. I think, with the way things have been unfurling more seasonally, both weather and climate wise this past later winter and now in to spring, and with looking mainly at the general abundance of cold still circulating around northern half of the mid-latitudes looked at more broadly, that you .. we, might as well think of this past March as having been more February like, and past February, more March like. 

 

The dryer January period, having been the odd card here in the West, with cold at that point of course having been focused, much more, through the East, and more westward.

 

.. Just a general observation relative to your own.
