Nice to have it every once in a while but not a constant. I would be perfectly fine with constant snow/snowcover. And my dogs would be much less muddy. 3 Quote 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!

TacomaWx Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 I’d definitely like to live somewhere that it snowed a little more consistently…but not just all winter long. @MR.SNOWMIZER has had 5 times more snow than I’ve had. That would be pretty cool to just average more like atleast 10–15 inches of snow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 2 hours ago, AbbyJr said: One more question: From what I understand but correct me if I'm wrong, when there is a full wind reversal, the vortex either splits or gets dislodged. However, in the case of a minor event where there is a sudden warming but no wind reversal, would the vortex still weaken? Yes typically it does. But that may not be enough to couple w/ the tropospheric circulation and/or influence the MJO/tropics. 2 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...
