November 2018 Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[Phil]

RIP George HW.

[Bryant]

LOL!!! Winter STARTS tomorrow! Calling winter cancel now makes zero sense! (slide whistle sound effect)

 

Ahhh, thanks for the reassurance! 

[ShawniganLake]

2014-15 had some arctic air at least in November and the end of December. With a trace of snow.

 

1991-92 and 2002-03 didn't have a single flake here, and in '92's case didn't have a single arctic airmass or low below 20 here.

 

And 1925-26 might actually be the worst cold season of them all, as there was nothing remotely dynamic and it torched as hard as any.

Victoria Gonzalez had a frost free winter in 25-26. A 686 day stretch the temperature never dropped below 34F.

[ShawniganLake]

0z ensembles are a bit of a mess for next week. Much cooler overall thru the first week of December

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Decent band over us again. 41F and now .44" on the day.

Decent band over us again. 41F and now .44" on the day.

41F here as well. Rain beginning to increase as the band rotates in from the east. Also a breezy north wind here.

[Blizzard777]

.12 so far and 43* with some sort of vortex swirling off the coast

 

Brothers cabin in La Pine getting snow

[SilverFallsAndrew]

35 with rain/sn mix. 0.94" on the day.

[Blizzard777]

Some pretty good rain falling west of Portland and looks like coast range getting snow

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Wonder if Timmy is getting snow outside of North Plains.

[Timmy Supercell]

The snow just now decided to get serious. Flakes getting bigger and covering the vehicles.

SCORE!

Just did a camera check and didn’t see anything in the coast range....temps around the 37 mark

It was going nuts just a few minutes ago! Still snowing nice though...enjoy

[VancouverIslandSouth]

41F here as well. Rain beginning to increase as the band rotates in from the east. Also a breezy north wind here.

 

Getting some rain here too, it would be a great pattern for SE Vancouver Island were there only some cold air in the interior to tap.

[Timmy Supercell]

It's coming on and off in bouts. I thought KMAX would fill in more. Maybe not.

 

I've definitely had many snows in the past where it just continued for hours straight. 

[Omegaraptor]

Some heavy rain earlier today in Washington Co to end the month. Looks like we're entering December dry.

[TT-SEA]

Hit some seriously heavy rain and ponding on I-90 coming back from Bellevue about an hour ago.

 

Looks like it snowing good at Snoqualmie Pass now.

 

40 here and was raining when we got home but I think it has ended now.  

[Timmy Supercell]

A very good chance that November will end with below average snowfall. Maybe an inch or two before midnight. 

 

In the '16-'17 winter I only got 1.20" in Nov, and that was my best season overall since I moved here. So having a dry-ish November doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Yikes, probably the only freezeless one on record. 1933-34 didn't have a freeze in Downtown Portland, but at least that year was dynamic with massive flooding in December and cold in B.C.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Decent up and down the valley

[ShawniganLake]

They have had other frost free calendar years but I believe that is their only frost free winter season.

I5 at Siskiyou summit looking pretty snowy now. Traffic maps south of this point looking red.

[TT-SEA]

Call me uninformed if you must but I don't see how the ULL offshore (nearly about to make landfall) is going into central/southern Oregon?

 

Main circulation looks to be due west or slightly NNW of Long Beach

 

Its deceiving... its still spinning out there and will start dropping south and come ashore tomorrow morning in central OR as the ECMWF has been showing.

 

[Timmy Supercell]

I'll take a midnight picture, I'll be up for a while tonight so no major rush on that.

[MossMan]

41 and rain currently.

[Jesse]

Moderate rain and 41 out there. Feels wintery. I always enjoy these maritime polar airmasses, seem like an increasingly rare visitor in recent years.

[ShawniganLake]

I’ve seen worse

That cluster of cooler ensemble members between the 5th and 7th is intriguing. Keeps popping up, enough to influence the mean on this run.

Not horrible...how does Seattle’s look?

[ShawniganLake]

[Jesse]

Of course, the Euro keeps the cold air to the east of us in that time frame. Move a large cutoff low into CA and we are in split flow. Would probably be cold at the surface, though.

 

Wetter pattern toward the end of the run.

[Bryant]

1 minute til midnight... I want my snow pic! 

[Deweydog]

It's December 1st.

[luvssnow_spokane]

It's December 1st.

Would you quit reminding us what day it is. We know winter is pretty much over! Geesh... talk about rubbing salt into a compound fracture... you’re an animal!

[Timmy Supercell]

1 minute til midnight... I want my snow pic! 

 

It's gonna be posted on the next thread.

Probably would be 5-6" less in that pic if that happened now.

1. We didn’t land on the moon

2. The earth is flat

3. Sun and moon are same size

4. Man-man global warming is myth

5. Chemtrails exist
