February Snowfalls 2/10-2/12, Part III & IV

[MossMan]

Did anyone last night talk about the Euro weeklies?

 

Think I will still have a snow base lasting into March!

Good chance, especially if you get any more.  Nightime lows below freezing will help.

 

My snow will last until mid to late March.  It's not just the more than 30 inches this month with more to come, it is the base that it fell on.  While not a huge base for us, as it was only about 10-11 inches, it was very solid/consolidated.  All of this will be very slow to melt once we do start to warm up, and who knows when that will be or how big our base will be by then.

I had to take the main road back up to our neighbors place to drop off his tractor since there was no way I was making it back up through his property...even with a 4wd tractor. Anyway here is what the roads looked like this morning...not many people out and about.

If the same type of event was impacting PDX and the Willamette Valley instead of SEA then TWC wouldn’t give a s**t. To them Oregon may as well be Siberia.

I think us southern posters have done pretty well keeping whining and jealousy to a minimum too. Same certainly can’t be said about northerners reaction to the relatively localized 1/10/17 event. We have some good karma coming our way now.

Looking great!

Its complete insanity in North Bend. We just got out and are in Issaquah in beautiful rain. Then to hotel by airport... and then Hawaii.

 

It is so claustrophobic in North Bend. Our road down is a tunnel with cars abandoned in places. They are just mounds of course. Got to down I-90 exit and there semis stuck everywhere. State patrol trying to coordinate but it's just so deep in the roads. Really thought we might not make it out.

 

We went by the entrance to the neighborhood right off exit 31 and it was not plowed at all. Had to be over 2 feet deep in the road with cars abandoned everywhere and people were just standing around.

 

Going to be a slow recovery.

 

My daughter is staying with a friend in North Bend and sent me this pic, I guess I won't be seeing her for a bit - enjoy Hawaii!!

There's "only" 8-9 inches on the ground here (I just say "only" in comparison to Port Angeles, Kitsap Peninsula, and so on). It's the most snow I've ever seen in Bellingham though. Spent the morning sledding and trying to snowboard with my roommates. It's the perfect amount of snow: not so much as to cause too many problems, especially since the city has done a great job of plowing and sanding the main roads, but enough to make things look about as wintry as possible.

We'd better not hear any whining from them next time we get an event without them.

[SorboTheGeek]

Yep 32 here might have four plus inches before bedtime/Tuesday morning.

 

OT: what's the best app to measure elevation?

 

If you have an iPhone, you can use the built-in barometer. Ask Siri what you're elevation is.

[Brennan]

15.5” since Super Bowl Sunday. We got 7” of new snow since yesterday here in Glenhaven. Max depth 12” before melting started just a little while ago. 34* and cloudy now. Hoping for some snow showers and things to freeze up tonight!

Certainly not here on the East Hill - this is a posted NO SNOW ZONE.

I think most people can see this as somewhat just. The Portland area played with a lot of house money since January 2012 and the Puget Sound was basically a sleeping giant, unless of course you truly subscribed to the idea our climate was irreparably harmed in the last five years or so.

I know  been raining since yesterday noon! So depressing.

Finally nothing falling here.

I agree. I am actively working hard not to have a meltdown.

 

I was totally fine with everything until today when this anafront situation completely busted. I keep telling myself I have 23" this month and may have more when its all said and done, but it's still difficult. Seeing the EURO weeklies Brian posted would usually get me excited, but at this point I'm just wondering if it means more disappointment.

It’s been a warm period in a warming climate. I guess now you’ll have to try to find a way to disagree with that statement.

It is to bad this didn’t happen in January.

[chinook]

rain has all but stopped in McMinnville.  a few sporadic drops getting rung from clouds.  not sure of totals yet but can't imagine it being less than 3 inches.   

 

yamhill-carlton school district left early due to [potential of] flooded roads.

Yeah this would have been great starting at Christmas. Then a lot of us might have had snow cover straight into February.

We take what we can get though.

Maybe we talked the Euro out of verifying with all that Sacramento-lite talk. That’s science!

January 27th...”WORST WINTER EVER!!” FORKS!

February 12th...”BEST WINTER EVER!!” (For Washington State)

 

Random person at party: "Looks like it's going to be a snowless winter. Boring!"

February: "Hold my beer."

I don't really think its totally a matter of things collapsing down here (Today's system notwithstanding), I think W. Washington absolutely scored about as much as possible out of this pattern and W. Oregon achieved about one would expect...

 

In other words we left a lot on the table. Hard to say -5 to -8 departures through the first 11 days of the month is collapsing. Just we absolutely everything broke right for Seattle. They are the 2018-19 Patriots and we are the 2001 Mariners.

Well The Beach Boys nailed it with Good Vibrations. No coincidence that barely two years after its release we were getting 1968-69’ed.

The 528 line disappeared Sunday night and won't be back for another 48 hours...

[Bryant]

Mattias just pointed out that there is a narrow, but heavy band of snow shown for tonight-tomorrow morning in Bellingham. I haven't looked at other models much, but I don't think it has any support

Dewey watched All Dogs go to Heaven and the rest is history.

Neither of our dogs like snow so that DOES make some sense. They like playing in it elsewhere but they don’t like it in their own backyard. One refuses to do his business in it so I have to do about a 10x10 area of snow removal to get the party started.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Heavy snow falling at Santiam Pass now. So that is good.
