9” Still dumping. ❄

 

Nice!

 

I am really happy for you.  

[TT-SEA]

WELP

 

Beaverton just cancelled, that’s good. Gonna go back to sleep then

 

Hope next week presents some fun opportunities!

 

 

You finally got your snow day!

 

And up here... its sunny and the roads are clear and school is finally open.   

[Timmy]

Fixed.

not many of us can get off on cold anomalies

Add one more really nice snow event for EUG. What a great decade they have had.

[Kayla]

All I could do was laugh and shake my head when I saw it was 37 at PDX as of 7am. Sometimes you have to wonder about this climate. 

 

It's literally 44 degrees colder here right now. Pretty surprising that the outflow isn't colder considering how deep the cold air is here.

Wow. My in laws live there. Should check in with them. We are going down there next month to visit. Really nice area.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I see EUG has had well over an inch of precip in the past 9 hours. All as snow! I really hope we get an official measurement from EUG for this storm.

Ya I was going to say the storms have really lined up nice for them probably 3-4 times in the last 10 years.

[Kayla]

Really just doesn't take much to close schools.

 

10-12" of snow here overnight in Bozeman with -20F windchills this morning. Everything open with no school closures and operating on normal schedules. No closures since the 70's here!

 

I actually feel pretty bad for the kids at the bus stops this morning.

South Willamette Valley is officially NOT due.

Wasn’t my point. You said objectively it’s been a bad pattern but it seemed like a misuse of the word. Subjectively it’s been bad for some areas but objectively for the region as a whole it’s been pretty crazy.

That’s awesome!!

 

Happy for you man.

This is suppose to be blooming flowers.

Didn’t want to overwhelm the forum so taking baby steps. Maybe later this week I will post blooming flowers.

Snow in Washington County!

 

Has everywhere from Vancouver to Redding gotten snow now?

Sounds like nothing stops the Bozeman schools! Probably a similar story for schools in Alaska. 

[Jesse]

Actual dusting here. Overachiever.

Yeah, there is a solid dusting in Salmon Creek too, still coming down lightly.

 

Back in east Vancouver we were getting blasted by a cold and dry east wind, not even a flake all morning despite echoes over us. Euro kind of goofed up since it looks like areas away from the outflow in the metro area will actually do a little better.

[MossMan]

Currently clear and 28 with a DP of 21.

[Prairiedog]

Wow. My in laws live there. Should check in with them. We are going down there next month to visit. Really nice area.

We visit there often.  Love the high desert, juniper forests.  Always smells so good with that mix of sage and juniper.  Every few years they get a big dump of snow.  Usually not this late in the season.  They got smacked good this time, Madras to Bend.  Waiting to hear from our friends in La Pine.  Curious how they did. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Washington County is doing alright relatively today. Good for them. Looks like about 1-2" per cams around the Salem Airport. They'll end the month with 4-5" total.

Showing my brother

His nest cam is offline from snow on the satellite dish

 

 

WOW!!!

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Trying to post pics for you guys but they all upload sideways.

 

[Jesse]

In other news there’s pretty much no way PDX avoids hitting 40 today. Good chance they end up a little warmer than yesterday’s 41 at this rate. Oh well maybe tomorrow.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Going to be a chilly week, and down right COLD for Eugene if we get any clear nights. Snow chances continue for Central Oregon.

Nice balance to the event a few weeks ago when the east side came out way ahead.

Yeah, westside of the county will pretty much always do better when there are strong offshore pressure gradients.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Looks like it has turned to wet snow in Coquille this morning. 

[Prairiedog]

It's literally 44 degrees colder here right now. Pretty surprising that the outflow isn't colder considering how deep the cold air is here.

If you don't mind, two questions.  Any idea how much snow you've had this season and what's your total on the ground now?  Last year if I'm not mistaken you had like your second highest snow totals with something around 120".  I love the Boseman to Livingston area, so I live vicariously thru you.  LOL

I said a “terrible waste of a ‘historic’ pattern.” Meaning, the pattern has been historic in nature and longevity but hasn’t delivered in the form of significant snow here for the most part.

FINALLY

This is turning into a semantics battle, but you also said when looking at it *objectively*, which I just thought was funny wording considering it was such an IMBYarder type post.

[FroYoBro]

Snowing decently again as the band starts to move out to the east. Hoping some light moisture can hang around to keep high temperatures down a bit today. 

[Timmy]

We likely close on the sale of our house March 4th, this could be it for the season for me. Moving back down into the lowlands in scappoose. Probably won’t get as much snow there.

[TT-SEA]

It made the same mistake here over the weekend... not recognizing the drying effect of the east wind. But it did very well recognizing the cooling effect of the east wind during the 2/11 event when it showed it would not turn over to rain here and we would be buried in snow.

Why are you moving?

I'm up to 108" on the season with 28" on the ground as of this morning's measurement. It's still really coming down out there and looks to continue throughout the week so I wouldn't be surprised if we get near 40" on the ground shortly.

 

I actually picked up 222" (18.5 feet!!) of snowfall last season which was near record breaking for the Bozeman area. MSU picked up about 150" last season.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Dry slot closing in as the back edge moves closer. Moderate snow now and 30.

Glad to see you getting something.
