December 2018 Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[Deweydog]

You’re preaching to the choir, brother.

 

Ideally, I have a few years of school left then I’m moving north and/or west.

Good ol' 37F rain here. Heading up to Mount Washington for some snowshoeing this evening, that'll give me my much needed snow fix.

MUDDY DOGS!

Ugh.

First legitimate snowfall of the season for the higher elevations around Metro Vancouver today.

[Lisa0527]

Wet snow on and off since 10:15 in Vancouver. But nothing sticking where I am near UBC. Soooo close.

Elevation?

Elevation?

1000 feet.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

These are probly the types of transitory cool air masses we can expect for the foreseeable future. Occasionally skirting the Vancouver area and then all of the appreciable cold slides east from there.

SEA is guaranteed to have a wetter than normal December now.

Ya its been a pretty average month.  We have had a pretty good fall winter so far in terms of cold and dry days so no complaints here other than the lack of snow so far.  Just this week I have started feeling an itch for a little sunnier weather with more sun breaks in the clouds as it has felt a little too dark/cloudy lately which makes sense when thinking the time of year it is:).

Wow crazy expensive.  I like how most of the places say "quiet neighborhood".  I would hope so being up in the arctic:).

Is that what we are referring to California transplants around here now?

MUDDY DOGS!

Had to keep it strategic and do some trail walking instead of letting them go nuts in the muddy back yard. 1/2” and counting. Almost looks like there could be some positive splats going on as well. 36. Now I’m enjoying a snack from the comfort of my kitchen table.

Pretty persistent line of precip stretching from north of Seattle nearly all the way down to Eugene.

[Requiem]

Good morning everyone.

[TT-SEA]

SEA has picked up .38 so far today... putting their monthly total at 5.40 inches.

 

Normal to this point is 4.71 and normal for the entire month is 5.35 inches.

 

Jared will say its not raining at OLM so its not raining anywhere!    Its called a rain shadow... and its prominent with NW flow like today.

 

[MossMan]

Good morning everyone.

Were you out all night at an El Niño rave?

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Good morning everyone.

 

Gonna be on night shift with me and Rob tonight?

[Requiem]

I wish, I slept at four yesterday cause of insomnia.

No precip here yet. We shall see if we get anything.

 

Edit: Just started raining as we speak.

[Requiem]

Gonna be on night shift with me and Rob tonight?

Probably!

[Brian_in_Leavenworth]

Then that means it's due to be right.

Lets hope so.  Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

This is definitely a day where the hills and mountains squeeze the rain out of the clouds.

Then that means it's due to be right.

Of course when we refer to the Euro Weeklies, what we see is the ensemble mean.  Sometimes someone posts them, sometimes we get the crayon interpretation by Brett Anderson.  I found another crude interpretation from last nights run that mainly focuses on Canada, but does give some "clues".

 

Temps for the 1st week of January

Precip for the 1st week of January

 

2nd week Temps (no precip map given).  Notice the very warm temps in Alaska

 

 

3rd week of January

 

BTW, the weeklies from 3 days ago showed colder temps for the 1st week of January for us, now showing warmer.  These are always interesting, but they are clues and not great forecast.

It’s be nice to get some fun and cold events in January and February so the whole “winter ends with December” crowd can get a shot in the snowballs.

. I’m going hunting in south Texas January 17-21st. Last time I did that the day my flight left was January 10th 2017. Analog?

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Looks like Dec 1966 had 19 days over 50 so we can only tie that this year.

Can anyone in Canada tell me if the Alamo Bowl is available up here?

[MossMan]

Should be on ESPN and I would think they get that channel up there?

TSN 3. https://www.shaw.ca/personal/television/channel-listings/

 

Says 0213 for channel

[TigerWoodsLibido]

That would be TSN and I'm not sure if it's on that channel as they frequently have NHL instead.

[TT-SEA]

Nope.

[Brian_in_Leavenworth]

Nope.

It could also be channel 183.  I don't know what the difference is between Shaw Blue sky and Shaw "regular"

I always get the summer itch in mid February but this cured me last season on 2/18 which was just the beginning of a great 8ish day stretch of cold snowy fun!

[Brian_in_Leavenworth]

TSN is the Canadian equivalent of ESPN.  They show a lot of American sports too, but not restricted to ESPN sports.  They show sports from CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN, etc.

213 is not it...
