TT-SEA Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Heck, if you think the 1800s were epic, you would have been blown away by the 1600s..it was the coldest stretch in the NH since the end of the last ice age (or possibly the 8200kr event in local areas). FWIW, almost 40% of the NH glacier melt had already occurred by 1900. Goes to show how far gone we are from the good ‘ole days. We’re essentially back to a MWP climate now. Good 'ole days? We probably would not be here discussing this if we stayed in the LIA.

Front Ranger Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 November 12-13, 1955, the PNW saw an intense Arctic front move through with some of the coldest highs/lows ever recorded in November, much less this early in the season. - SEA saw a high of 21 on the 12th. The next earliest they have seen a high this cold is 12/16/64! - BLI saw a low of 5 (by far the earliest any event has produced single digits, next closest being 1985 almost two weeks later). - Republic in NE WA saw a high of 9 on the 12th. - Palmer saw a high of 20 on the 13th - Forks saw a high of 26 on the 13th - PDX saw a high of 28 on the 12th - Spokane saw a high of 11 on the 13th - Astoria saw a high of 31 on 11/12. The next earliest event with a sub-freezing high isn't until 11/23/2010. Most of OR would see their coldest temps a couple days later. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Scott Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 The 1955 cold snap and storm also hit the Rocky Mountains too, but the coldest air was west of the divide. For example, Salt Lake City hit -10 on 11/15/1955 and -14 on 11/16/1955. These were by far the coldest November readings on record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverFallsAndrew Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 November 1993 was better than 2010 once you get south of Portland. No sub-freezing highs, but colder lows and longer duration. Similar T-1" snowfall totals.

Front Ranger Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 November 1993 was better than 2010 once you get south of Portland. No sub-freezing highs, but colder lows and longer duration. Similar T-1" snowfall totals. As an overall event for the PNW, though, 2010 easily tops 1993. The coldest places were colder in 2010, and there was a lot more lowland snowfall. I do remember being on the OR coast for family Thanksgiving in 1993 and seeing frozen puddles on the beach, the only time I've seen that in many trips to the OR coast.

There must have also been quite a bit of a radiational cooling component to 1993, The temps down the valley were much more impressive than at PDX. Eugene had 3 consecutive lows in the mid-teens. Kind of the opposite of 2010.
