Jesse Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Looks like the 70+ stretch will go unbroken at PDX, since today was probably their best shot of the next several to fall a little short. The mid-October 1952 stretch of nine consecutive days could get a run for its money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Not officially yet, no.The warm water volume anomaly is pretty low compared to that of the typical niño. I still think this ends up verifying as warm neutral..at least until next spring or summer. There should also be a brief pullback between now and then, between OKW diffraction cycles. Deepening solar minimum + easterlies above the tropopause w/ poleward deposition of westerly momentum should keep structure the extratropics to help keep amplitude low hence reduce the backslosh next spring..less countering fluid inertia with the upwelling wave makes all the difference in the world.

Jesse Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Freeze warning posted for much of Clark County and the Central/Southern Willamette Valley tonight. Although it’s likely to stay above 40 IMBY unless the east wind dies off early. Nice to get a bit of the cold airmass that dove down the Rockies the last few days. The next week certainly looks warm, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I thought your call was for a 1986 redux, aka 21 dry days in a row?No. I mentioned that happened in 1986 after a troughy, wet period which matched up well to our recent troughy period... so a dry streak might be in the cards again. I also said it was unlikely it would last that long and 7-10 days seemed more likely. I never predicted a 23-day dry spell but if you just skim posts you might miss some key details.

BLI snowman Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 So we are seeing a few interesting things, and feel free to correct me. - Long, warm, and dry stretch in October- West Southwest- Isolate but strong tropical cyclones in the SE- Early snows for the southern Rockies, Northern AZ, and mid plains- warm and snowless Alaska- low solar So, what are some analogous years we can pick over until the crushing reality of El Niño smacks us over the head in a few weeks?None of that is too promising if you like winter in the PNW. The reality is that cool and wet Octobers are usually a good omen for a prominent winter polar jet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerWoodsLibido Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Going with + temp departures for Eugene/Springfield for Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, and Mar. Also think it's going to be pretty boring regionally. Maybe a 97-98 style snowstorm for the PDX metro and nothing notable south of there. The more I think about it I think it'll be the second snowless winter in a row for this guy. I've never gone 3 yrs in a row without an accumulating snowfall and with 19-20 likely an even stronger niño than this one, I'm mentally prepared to not see another one for a very long time at this point.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 The game Saturday was great. Best game I have been to since the Michigan State game in 2014. Snapped this shot as I was leaving Saturday, my wife wanted to go down on the field, I told her I am too old for that kind of thing. Plus we've beaten the huskies before... It was funny, the Huskies kicker at halftime was practicing field goals and he missed pretty much every one. Our seats are pretty close and just a little to the left (from this view, right if you are kicking) of the goal post, and he was sailing them our way pretty much every time. I remarked to a friend, they better hope he doesn't have to make this with the game on the line...Sure enough... 2 Quote Snowfall Precip 2022-23: 95.0" 2022-23: 17.39" 2021-22: 52.6" 2021-22: 91.46" 2020-21: 12.0" 2020-21: 71.59" 2019-20: 23.5" 2019-20: 58.54" 2018-19: 63.5" 2018-19: 66.33" 2017-18: 30.3" 2017-18: 59.83" 2016-17: 49.2" 2016-17: 97.58" 2015-16: 11.75" 2015-16: 68.67" 2014-15: 3.5" 2013-14: 11.75" 2013-14: 62.30 2012-13: 16.75" 2012-13: 78.45 2011-12: 98.5" 2011-12: 92.67" It's always sunny at Winters Hill!

Build a great team and then sink your entire season because you have a scrawny 19-year old kid who can occasionally make a FG. Its a killer. Same thing in the NFL. Competitive games are often determined by the kicker. Just happened in the Patriots-Chiefs game last night... it was all about the Brady vs. Mahomes battle but the Patriots kicker decided the actual winner of the game.

Build a great team and then sink your entire season because you have a scrawny 19-year old kid who can occasionally make a FG. Its a killer. Same thing in the NFL. Competitive games are often determined by the kicker. Look at the Patriots-Chiefs game last night. Exactly. The kick UW had to win it was under 40 yards, should have been almost automatic. When Chip Kelly coached at Oregon they never had a kicker who could make one from more than extra point range. It was ridiculous and they did lose a game against Stanford and USC because of it. Probably would have played in at least one other national title game if they could have kicked... One more thing though, notice in that picture the flag fully stretched out from north to south. The wind was at the kickers back, but it was also a cross wind, he just missed by about 1-2', the wind may have made a difference too.
