wx_statman Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Yes, that one is a better match but I guess I just don't consider 1996 that recent anymore. Sad day when the '90s are antiquated That's funny, I didn't really think of the wording. You're right. 22 years isn't that recent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow_wizard Posted November 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 It’s based on the average temperature curve (1981-2010 climatology period) amongst well-cited stations. The midpoint isn’t necessarily the coldest point, but rather the “middle” of the coldest 3 month period in the climatology. One thing that totally amazed me when I first looked at the Seattle city records is the fact February used to average colder than December. That seems almost unthinkable now that December has actually become slightly colder than January in the most recent 30 years averages. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

Timmy Supercell Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 A very rare November snow was unfolding in this area in 2010. It actually had been snowing on and off for a couple weeks already, but 11/23 over 8 inches fell at one of the stations here. The next day on the 24th a daily record low of -4 was set, with a high of 22. This was about a week before I moved to town. Ground accumulations briefly hit the 10-11 inch mark. I haven't seen anything close to that in November since that time.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Five years ago today it snowed. Just noticed that Medford's mean temp for December 2013 was 31.4. I need to check that against their historical records, but that seems rather astonishing. Looks like that is the coldest December on record at Medford (1928-present) narrowly beating out 1972 and 1976 (inversion fest). Medford somehow avoided that mid-month torch in 2013. Looks like that was the coldest month on record at Medford since January 1963 and overall ranks as the as their 5th coldest month on record behind 1) January 19372) January 19493) January 19634) January 19305) December 2013 2 Quote 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!

Timmy Supercell Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 I am sure the Dec 2013 blast was mentioned. So I'll mention exactly how cold that December was at KLMT. The Mean temperature was 22.7 (-6.8). Average low = 9.4! (-11.3) Average high = 36.0 (-2.4) Look at that monstrous -11.3 departure for avg low. I don't think I have seen an avg low like that in any other month.A couple of stations here are claiming the coldest December on record is 2013 in Klamath Falls. During the actual blast, I had 240 consecutive hours in a row below freezing temperature. Lots of frozen fog, it looked cool. Too bad I didn't have a very good camera back then. It looked like a different area that month. Below is a look at 10 of the coldest days. 12/03 - 32/1312/04 - 25/512/05 - 24/-312/06 - 28/912/07 - 21/-1612/08 - 6/-2012/09 - 14/-1712/10 - 23/-812/11 - 26/-312/12 - 29/-1 Exactly 20 years before this arctic blast, one of the strongest yet not often talked about tornadoes hit Newberg, OR on 12/08/1993. It was rated an F2. I believe only 5 recorded tornadoes in the PNW are F2/EF2 or higher. That particular one wasn't as destructive as others only because it wasn't that populated where it occurred. 1 Quote Ashland, KY Weather '23-'24 Winter Snowfall - 5.50" First freeze: 11/1 (32) Minimum: 2 on 1/17 Measurable snows: 4 Max 1 day snow: 3" (1/19) Thunders: 16 1/27, 1/28, 2/10, 2/22, 2/27, 2/28, 3/5, 3/6, 3/14, 3/15 3/26, 3/30, 3/31, 4/2, 4/3, 4/8, Severe storms: 2 ------------------------------------------------------- [Klamath Falls, OR 2010 to 2021] https://imgur.com/SuGTijl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The COOP station for Klamath Falls didn't even get quite that cold in 1972, 1919, or 1990. I see that KLMT hit -22 on 12/09/1972, and -16 on 12/11/1972. I think a half dozen lows in December have records from 1972 but overall the 2013 blast was a touch colder. The all time record here is -25 so anything below -10 is pretty impressive.

MossMan Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Twenty-three years ago it was even windier. That was a great season for windstorms. I remember having to go out to our camper with the propane hot water heater to shower since we were without power for a few days. I also remember it snowing a bit when the power was out.

WHILE THE POSSIBILITY OF LOWLAND SNOW SHOWERS IS IN THE FORECAST AT TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...IT IS THE FRIGIDLY COLD TEMPERATURES EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT WEEK THAT COULD HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON WESTERN WASHINGTON. AN ARCTIC AIR MASS WILL STREAM INTO WESTERN WASHINGTON TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...IN THE WAKE OF AN ARCTIC FRONT MOVING SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL BELOW FREEZING ACROSS WESTERN WASHINGTON TONIGHT WITH MANY SPOTS DIPPING INTO THE LOWER TO MID 20S.

WIND CHILL IS ANOTHER THING THAT CANNOT BE IGNORED. IN THE NORTHWEST INTERIOR THE COMBINATION OF SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CREATE APPARENT TEMPERATURES NEAR ZERO DEGREES FAHRENHEIT...LOW ENOUGH TO CAUSE FROSTBITE TO EXPOSED SKIN. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP FURTHER ON MONDAY...AS VERY COLD AIR CONTINUES TO FUNNEL THROUGH THE FRASER RIVER VALLEY OF SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA AND INTO WESTERN WASHINGTON. BY MONDAY...DAYTIME HIGHS WILL GENERALLY REACH ONLY THE 20S WITH NIGHTTIME LOWS IN THE TEENS OR LOWER. THE COLD AIR MASS WILL SIT OVER THE REGION FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK...WITH MOST ALL OF WESTERN WASHINGTON REMAINING NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING EVEN DURING THE DAYTIME. THIS WILL LIKELY BE THE MOST PROLONGED STREAK OF SUB-FREEZING WEATHER SINCE DECEMBER 1990. IN ADDITION...A WEATHER SYSTEM ON WEDNESDAY COULD INTERACT WITH THE STUBBORN COLD AIR MASS TO PRODUCE A RENEWED THREAT OF ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS THE WESTERN WASHINGTON LOWLANDS. OVER THE MOUNTAINS...TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE TEENS AND SINGLE DIGITS TONIGHT AND REMAIN VERY COLD FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK AHEAD.
