BLI snowman Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 SEA and OLM are heavily shadowed with the recent pattern. You know this of course. Interestingly... some places in the central and northern Cascades are already at 70% normal precip for November in just the first 6 days. It takes a serious moisture feed to make that happen. Flushed out all that excess tropical moisture lingering over the Pacific after the hurricane season. This looked way different last week in the central Pacific... it all was directed through BC and WA over the last week. That happened. I see up at YVR they've had a not so whopping 2.14" so far this month. Seems kinda SW desert-like. Shifting north. The Hoh Ranger Station is the real PNW.

TT-SEA Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Instead of recognizing the significant rain that actually fell in BC in WA as an interesting meteorological event... its much more fun to be bitter that it missed OR and mock anyone who is talking the recent stormy pattern on a weather forum. I think this pattern evolution is really nice and hope this continues.... focused heavy rain with decent dry spells in between. I am not complaining at all. I love reporting what is happening... rain or shine. And I love the dry spells that follow heavy rain periods. Much better than light rain every day.

Requiem Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 2018 has treated me alright...major snow event in February with snow on the ground for over 2 weeks, nice summer, extremely wet fall, and enough wind for me to try out the generator at the new place. Nice variety. Hopefully it will be topped off with another snow event before the end of the year. Too bad the weather has sucked down in PDXville but I don’t live there so ... ♂ For us 2018 has been a disaster. Minor snow in February, rather sad snowstorms anyways, flop of a windstorm in April, wildfire smoke galore in summer, terrible fall thus far. Oh well.
