Frankly, this one exceeded my expectations. I was not expecting to get so much snow in back-to-back winters. I’m pretty sure I’m in for a winter or two that never has more than an inch or two on the ground at any one time. Going to be quite the letdown after the recent run of good ones. 3 Quote It's called clown range for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Snap Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I’m really not that surprised this is turning out to be a dry blast because I feel like it’s been a while since one. It sucks for the Portland folks though because when they finally get a decent arctic blast it comes with little to no snow. 2 1 Quote 2023 - 2024 Cold Season Stats Total Snowfall - 0.75” Max Snow Depth - 0.5” Coldest High Temp - 21 (Jan 13) Coldest Low Temp - 9 (Jan 13) Number of Freezes - 48 Sub-40 highs - 12 Highs 32 or lower - 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gradient Keeper Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Lame. Unless the next 4-6 runs edge the arctic trough further offshore this is looking like a huge waste of cold air.

Phil Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 1 hour ago, Skagit Weather said: The northwest has such a weird winter temp profile, especially with the continued dominance of February in recent years. This map shows the average coldest day for stations across the US (1991-2020). Much of the area is coldest at the end of December except for widespread pockets of stations (especially near the coast) that are coldest in the beginning to middle of February. Yeah I’m still not 100% sure why things work this way. Probably has something to do with seasonal lag in arctic cooling (bottoms out late febryary/early march) and seasonality in wavelengths. h/t to Brian B. 4 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowWillarrive Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 1 hour ago, Rubus Leucodermis said: As a general rule, the further north the better. Seattle tends to get more snow than Portland, Shoreline more than Seattle, Paine Field more than Shoreline, Bellingham more than Everett, Vancouver more than Bellingham. Also, from Whatcom County northwards is it a lot easier to score subfreezing weather in arctic outflow. Though sometimes that works out as being left high and dry and cold while points south get the snow. Further east trumps everything. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still time for something later on in February…but I’m not too bullish on that yet. I get the disappointment no matter how much you get in a winter it sucks to miss out especially in this climate where it’s hard to get snow in the first place. I’m just glad that this won’t be a complete dud of a winter as it stands now.
