TT-SEA Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I wish. Still raining here...and cold. Just had torrential rain here for the last 30 minutes... now a distinct clearing line approaching. But looks like more heavy rain gathering to the west of Seattle. So insanely wet here. Can't even imagine dry conditions.

TT-SEA Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Went from heavy rain to sunshine in about 10 minutes... you can see the back end of the cell moving away. Rain came too late... you can see that most of the trees are dead here now. Only 15 inches above our normal rainfall for the last year has been devastating.

Front Ranger Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I remember wxstatman or someone posting about some local station that saw a pretty impressive benchmark low last month. And I know a number of people on here reported lows in the 30s. EUG's low of 36 on 9/18. McMinnville also had several lows in the 30s, including 38 on 9/18. And they nearly hit the 30s on 9/4 with a low of 40. Quote A forum for the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frontal Snowsquall Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 90% of those are reserved for storms east of the Mississippi.Yup, they only mention them impacting us in retrospect. Cleon was Dec 2013 in Eugene/Springfield.True but it's good to have Winter Storms named IMHO. The January 10-11 snowstorm was named Jupiter. The December 2008 regional PNW snowstorm most likely would have been named before it hit us because it was well forecasted in advance.

Phil Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 I thought you were a proponent of one relating to snowcover and the AO/NAO.Huh? No way. In some cases Eurasian snowcover is an artifact of a pattern favorable for WAFz/-AO, and it can strengthen the Siberian High as well, but there are many other factors that can trump it.

Phil Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Just like tropical storms, eh? It's just hype. Tropical storms were (initially) named so mariners wouldn’t get confused when multiple cyclones were churning simultaneously. It was much more hazardous out at sea before the satellite era, since the cyclones weren’t tracked efficiently. It just morphed into a tradition of sorts, over time. Can’t really compare that to the TWC storm-naming scheme, which is mostly for entertainment/publicity in large media markets.

Just make sure you got reliable transportation to work due to possible treacherous road conditions this Winter. That's an interesting article. I didn't know that the ridge up there was one of the most intense on record. The very warm SSTs in the Bering Sea probably has something to do with it.

ShawniganLake Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 ICON model slides a cold low into the PNW early next week. Alberta is getting hammered with snow today.
