Phil Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Phil...which weather related flick do you prefer? Twister or The Day After Tomorrow..Oh gawd. The fact I've watched both of them is a travesty in of itself. I do like The Day After Tomorrow better, though. Even if the physics and thermodynamics are mostly bulls**t, the topic of the movie aligns more closely with my area(s) of interest.

Dave Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Benton and Linn Counties had 12-18" with the February, 2014. This after getting about 5-10" with the December storm. Corvallis/Albany/Lebanon, as well as Eugene had more snow than I did that winter. Feb 2014 was one of the best events I've seen here on the valley floor. Max depth around 10 inches. Growing up, I lived at around 950 feet in the south hills. I probably got 3x the amount of snow that I get now. There were many times where I'd get 8" of snow while the floor got 2 inches. I would love to move back up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 FWIW, by now, the mixed QBO winters of 1960/61, 1962/63, and 1981/82 had already downwelled easterly shear to 50mb. As of today, we’ve still failed to do so. The other three years with mixed QBOs that hadn’t yet downwelled to 50mb are 1983/84, 1995/96, and 2000/01. We’re slightly ahead of 1995/96’s pace so far, and roughly matching that of 2000/01 and 1983/84. The latter was influenced by volcanism, so its applicability as an analog is questionable. Nevertheless, these three slower QBO years (84/96/01) all had Niña-ish periods in mid/late winter, and they all flipped warm west/cold east in March, as well. 1 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...

In subsequent millennia, as climate warmed and this ice sheet decayed, large volumes of meltwater flooded to the oceans (Tarasov and Peltier, 2006; Wickert, 2016). This period, known as the “last deglaciation,” included episodes of abrupt climate change, such as the Bølling warming [~14.7–14.5 ka], when Northern Hemisphere temperatures increased by 4–5°C in just a few decades (Lea et al., 2003; Buizert et al., 2014), coinciding with a 12–22 m sea level rise in less than 340 years [3.5 to 6.5 meters to per century] (Meltwater Pulse 1a (MWP1a)) (Deschamps et al., 2012).”Shorelines would have necessarily retreated by as much as 40 meters per year – 75 centimeters per week – during those centuries of obscene sea level rise.

I know it dropped up to 14" in places and it stayed cold for awhile but was there a miracle or a density east flow Dome Buster?One of the biggest forecasting bust that I can ever remember. In the contest I predicted PDX 7 inches and Salem 2 inches but I must admit I was wishcasting. Low and behold my predictions were kinda right. I think Salem got 2 inches and the PDX airport got 7 inches. They don't take official measurements at the airport anymore though and plus it snowed over a foot in the center of the city. The foot plus of snow I got was great but what was even better was that it stayed on the ground for several days afterwards and temperatures just plummeted at night due to the clear skies and heavy snow cover, it felt like I was driving through an Arctic tundra.

VancouverIslandSouth Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Tomorrow is looking more and more like a Shawnigan special.
