January 2019 Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[TT-SEA]

To keep the soil moisture content higher and wildfire risk lower, it’s better to have more clouds and rain. #fact

Does not mean it has to be extreme either way. It can be decent without being cold and wet or really dry.

 

There is a middle ground you know.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I have no idea if it will be a hot and dry summer. I just don't think spring and early summer will be miserably cold and wet this year.

 

We just had the driest May on record.

I hope it’s cold and wet.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I hope it’s cold and wet.

 

I hope its wet. I don't care that much if it is cold, but if it is wet it probably would be.

[TT-SEA]

I hope it’s cold and wet.

Of course you do.

 

And I think you will be disappointed.

[TT-SEA]

We just had the driest May on record.

 

And I am just saying that I don't think this spring will be really cold and wet.   I made no reference to last year.

[MossMan]

Who cares about spring and summer...we have snow and cold coming!!

I made the mistake of mentioning that it was a nice day. Sorry about that.

Here we go bloating the pages up.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Total snow by 10AM Tuesday after King County and the Portland area fill in a little more.

 

Only people who should be griping about this are the North Sounders as their totals dropped a couple inches.

 

Almost all other places end up with more snow than the 00z, especially in the SW Interior.

Not bad. I wonder if we have any members on here who live between Longview and Olympia.

[Omegaraptor]

That’s good because the Willamette Valley is way overdue for a long hot and dry summer.

Definitely. We haven’t had one in months now. Months!

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Reload looking more robust.

Yeah, hopefully lots of us will have good solid snowcover going into it.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Cold.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Both Springfield and EUG tally another day with below freezing temp readings. Springfield up to 23 days and EUG up to 26 days.

 

Will be nice to add several more in the coming weeks and get ahead of 91-92, 02-03, and 14-15 for boredom in the s valley...to this point.

Maybe it's the ECMWF SE digging bias, but the fact the GFS also shows it is concerning

The Euro has a SW digging bias. Although maybe that was a typo since my phone just tired to autocorrect that to SE as well.

[Esquimalt]

18Z NAM so far is NE of its 12Z brother

[Bryant]

Hoping for an eastward trend in the homestretch

I'm about to head out for lunch down here.

It's another spectacular sunny day.

Lol too east and we get nothing

.That was a typo

[Front Ranger]

Lol too east and we get nothing

That is the least likely scenario at this point.

What do you think happens if it goes too far west?

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

[Esquimalt]

I'd rather it go west than east. Too many times we have been shafted and alberta has scored.

Weenie fish are REALLY due.

[Bryant]

Too far west and no one south of the border will see much of anything. Need to drive that cold air south

[Phil]

I'd rather it go west than east. Too many times we have been shafted and alberta has scored.

What difference does it make if it screws you either way?

[Bryant]

NAM went West

[Requiem]

NAM went West[/quote

 

Ouch.

[Requiem]

NAM just screwed us out of any snow, so yay?

[TigerWoodsLibido]

In the words of Jim Nantz, "You hate to see that..."

[Deweydog]

 

NAM went West[/quote

 

Ouch.

 

The second seven is supposed to be an eight.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Even going west it will still be ok because of the depth of the cold air it has to draw from. Maybe rain at the coast but shoud be fine inland.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Here's to hoping the NAM now trends east with it from here on out.

[Esquimalt]

NAM just screwed us out of any snow, so yay?

The NAM went west, which seems to favour Victoria (as the past couple of GFS runs have favoured us but crapped on the Oregon people)

[FroYoBro]

The trends today are not good. This next week should still be the best winter weather of the season though.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Tim hacked the model.
