December Weather In the PNW

Unfortunately, the closer we get to MLK the statistical accuracy of wishcasting goes down sharply. It's not unheard of to go from an utter lock to complete mystification in a very short span of time. Something to definitely watch coming up in the models.

 

At this point, all my preference indices are still pointing toward a big second half of the month!

My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

Perfect.

Flint has been on a roll in the WPAC warm pool/NPAC ridge era. Tied their all-time record low with -25 in the Feb 2015 cold wave, set the March record with -16 on 3/3/2014, just broke the December record with -18, and also hit -21 in the infamous "polar vortex" cold wave in Jan 2014.

Must be something in the water there.

After our great winter last year I figured there would be a regression to the mean. Didn't think it would be a regression to a snowless winter but it is certainly looking that way at this point.

I'm still at 30F. Always good to end the year below freezing (the psychology of cryogenics)

Very thick freezing fog has developed here, same at your place? Glad I’m hunkered down and not going anywhere tonight. Sitting at 28 at the moment, everything is very white with frost, does that count as a white New Years Eve?

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!

I do miss last year where “the goodies” were constantly on the models...and delivering to parts of Oregon quite frequently!

Same here. I’d say we qualify for a white New Years Eve.

It’s only a week, so take it FWIW, but the off-equator WPAC has indeed cooled somewhat since 12/23.

Well 2017 has been one heck of a year. The January snowstorm where I got over a foot of snow and then stayed on the ground for like a week afterwards will be something I will always remember. Then to close out the year I got a few inches of snow on Christmas Eve and was able to get a white Christmas. Goodbye 2017!

All these people bitching about winter being over, who have already seen a decent snow fall this year, need to quit whining

I agree
