I think it's right around the coldest that site can get, but it would take only another 2 degrees to take the crown away from Rogers Pass, MT. They got down to -53.5f with the January 2017 airmass, with perfect conditions and a good airmass they could probably do it sometime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the costal radar still down? It's been showing up as red on my Radar Scope for a few days now.... It was a scheduled upgrade like the KATX radar went through early this month... supposed to be down through Friday. 2 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been watching this for the last few days... its been crazy down there with lots of flooding. Kona low! We were very lucky that we planned our trip starting this coming weekend and not this past weekend. It looks absolutely perfect down there starting later this week all of next week.

TT-SEA Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Looks like SEA will finish January around +0.7 so just slightly warmer than normal (using the new warmer 1991-2020 average) Last January was -1.8 so this month will end up about 2.5 degrees warmer.

Livingston is only about 15 miles east of me as the crow flies yet it’s dead calm here. The front range is crazy like that. FWIW, it’s not actually snowing there/here.

I know by personal experience how bitter the winters in that part of Utah can be. Montana is way colder on the whole though.

Skagit Weather Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 31.8F and some light snow falling outside! I've been pretty busy over the last couple days so this is one of the first times in the last decade or two I haven't been religiously following the models in the run-up to a snow event. Maybe 0.1" on the ground so it's not much, but it's still fun to see! 3 Quote Home Wx Station Stats (Since January 2008): Max Temp: 96.3F (2009) Min Temp: 2.0F (2008) Max Wind Gust: 45 mph (2018, 2021) Wettest Day: 2.34 (11/4/22) Avg Yearly Precip: 37" 10yr Avg Snow: 8.0" Snowfall Totals '08-09: 30" | '09-10: 0.5" | '10-11: 21" | '11-12: 9.5" | '12-13: 0.2" | '13-14: 6.2" | '14-15: 0.0" | '15-16: 0.25"| '16-17: 8.0" | '17-18: 0.9"| '18-19: 11.5" | '19-20: 11" | '20-21: 10.5" | '21-22: 21.75" | '22-23: 10.0" 2023-24: 7.0" (1/17: 3", 1/18: 1.5", 2/26: 0.5", 3/4: 2.0", Flakes: 1/11, 1/16) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
