Feels so weird to see all those systems head towards CA, it's been quite down there for so long.

Kind of nice to have it a bit drier up here this season.  I know a lot of people like it very wet, but we've had more than our share for years now.

Does anyone have any information on the late December 1927/early January 1928 event? Portland had a 19/14 day with 0.99" of precip and then a 24/15 day with 1.40" of precip yet they only had 2.3" of snow. Must've been a crazy ice storm

There were so many Arctic outbreaks in the 1920s it's insane.  I know December 1927 was a cold month overall.

I mean, there first serious system hasn't even started yet.

I'm in the white!

But seriously I'm more interested in seeing what it looks like this Thursday as their most recent system move through on the 30th and 31st when SF had its second highest daily rainfall since the gold rush. My parents probably had close to six inches in two or three days.

No doubt.  Either Cle Elum, somewhere around Leavenworth, Winthrop.  Many good possibilities over there.  The town of Leavenworth itself though would be awfully touristy.

It is touristy for sure, and December is crazy.  Traffic at times is awful.  Leads to a good local economy though, and it's nice to be in a small town with so many restaurants, a summer Theatre, and a performing arts center that all only exist in this small town because of tourism.

Looks fairly typical, so why is it dead?

My area will probably see very little rain through the weekend... even though technically there might be light rain at some point each 24-hour period.    Offshore flow just eats away any precip that tries to move up from the south in this pattern.

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Since we're wishing on a monkey hand, can we wish for an epic region wide true arctic blast with feet of snow in the major metros not just at @MossMan place?

Better than wishing for a “regionwide event” during a cold spell. That wish was recently granted with a regionwide ice storm!

It's called clown range for a reason.
