Timmy_Supercell 2315 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 (01/19/2016) 3 years ago on this date one of the rarest convective events occurred at my place. A squall line thunderstorm formed off the SW Oregon coast, and instead of breaking apart around the Rogue Valley or west slopes like they normally do, the storm continued and actually strengthened over the cascades. A 67mph gust at KLMT (about 12:30pm) triggered a Severe Warning for it. I had half inch size hail with some decent thunder/lightning at my house. A few booms sounded maybe a mile or two away This was a couple weeks before I got my HD cameras, otherwise I would have gotten some good footage on that. There was still snow pack on the mountains when this storm strengthened and it was only 40 degrees in Klamath Falls at the time this occurred (the outflow winds cooled it to upper 30's!). Even a little leftover snow in my yard as well during this storm, I thought that was interesting and new. In the months of Dec/Jan/Feb, t'storms are almost impossible to occur in Klamath Falls. Going back to at least 1980; I find only 1 in December, 0 in January, 1 in February. However, many more can be found in locations west of the mountains in the winter season. Even in November I believe there have only been a couple of t'storm occurrences at KLMT last 40+ years. My 2nd earliest t'storm since 2010 is March 22nd in 2015. And usually my latest t'storm is in September. 1 Quote Weather Data for Klamath Falls, OR ------------------------------------------------------------------- Snowfall (with % of seasonal average) 2010-2011 - 60.70" (168%) 2011-2012 - 49.00" (136%) 2012-2013 - 25.10" (70%) 2013-2014 - 9.05" (25%) 2014-2015 - 2.90" (8%) 2015-2016 - 54.45" (151%) 2016-2017 - 63.00" (175%) 2017-2018 - 18.10" (50%) 2018-2019 - 52.30" (145%) 2019-2020 - 37.00" (103%) 2020-2021 - 18.50" (52%) Nov '20 - 00.20" (5%) Dec '20 - 04.40" (44%) Jan '21 - 03.50" (29%) Feb '21 - 07.10" (78%) Mar '21 - 03.30" (132%) 2021 Thunderstorms --/--, Biggest Snowstorm - 18.4" (Jan 3-4 2017 - 26 hours) Top 5 Daily Snows: 12.40" (01/03/2017), 8.20" (11/23/2010), 7.50" (12/13/2015), 6.60" (02/07/2017), 6.20" (03/10/2019) Honorable Mention: 6.00" (03/20/2012), 6.00" (02/28/2012), 6.00" (01/16/2020), 5.70" (12/14/2016), 5.50" (01/18/2012) Max Depths: 21.00" (01/07/2017), 18.00" (12/24/2015), 13.00" (01/16/2020), 11.00" (11/23/2010), 9.50" (02/27/2019), 9.00" (02/28/2012) T'storm Days: 10 (2020), 14 (2019), 16 (2018), 12 (2017), 13 (2016), 20 (2015), 21 (2014), 16 (2013), 2 (2012), 12 (2011) 1980-2015 Avg = 12 Severe T'storms: 6 (08/05/2020), (08/10/2019), (08/08/2017), (07/24/2017), (01/19/2016), (08/05/2012) "Almost" Severe: 2 (08/10/2017), (05/04/2016) Vicinity Severe T'storms (close enough to hear, with official severe reports) (06/26/2017), (08/05/2016), (07/09/2015), (07/05/2015), (06/09/2015), (08/05/2014), (08/04/2014), (08/22/2013), (08/12/2013), (09/12/2011), (09/04/2011) Link to post Share on other sites

We did have a high of 12F one day though. Best part of that was later in March we were scheduled to play up at UW but the weekend series was cancelled at the last minute because, well, Seattle had about a foot of snow. I think we played 3 games total before we went South over spring break to play San Diego State. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wx_statman 2469 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 February 1936. Initial cold shot on the 7th-9th brought -34 to Newport in eastern WA, and subzero cold to Whatcom Co. Readings included -9 in Blaine and -1 in Clearbrook. The mid-month shot once again dropped eastern WA to -34 (at Republic on the 14th, and also -30 at Deer Park on the 15th). PDX stayed frozen for a week straight, including a maximum of 24 on the 17th. Readings in the mid-month airmass were actually colder in parts of the central Sound compared to the initial airmass, including 12 in Puyallup and -11 at Snoqualmie Pass. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Requiem 2649 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Weird that no one has posted this, but yesterday and today mark the 23rd anniversary of the Willamette Valley Flood of 1996. Wicked winter weather, followed by a period of some of the strongest east winds recorded at PDX, were subsequently followed (in disastrous fashion) by a major pineapple express which brought feet of rain in some areas over a few day long period. 8 were killed, numerous buildings were damaged by the floodwaters.

wx_statman 2469 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Today is the 60th anniversary of the Mount Shasta storm (the ending anyway). From February 13-19, 1959 a single storm dropped 189" on Mount Shasta Ski Bowl, which I believe is still a world record. The daily obs mid-month were insane (attached). Also, the abstract here provides a nice overview of the synoptic setup: https://works.bepress.com/stephen_underwood/31/ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
