wx_statman Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Very cold morning in NE Washington. Cheney down to -9. Looks like -10 at Spokane 17SSW as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Looks like -10 at Spokane 17SSW as well.The crazy thing is there will another bout of very cold lows over there late this weekend/early next week, with another arctic airmass moving in. Could get into some historic territory with what looks to be clear skies and very dry air combined with the unseasonably deep snowpack over most of the east side, even in the lower basins. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wx_statman Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Here's a good one - Wilbur, WA never rose above 34 in February. First time they didn't hit 40 in February (records back to 1899!), and they didn't even come close.

Jesse Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 With forecast lows in the mid-20s in the Portland area early next week, I'm trying to remember the last time PDX got below the upper 20s in March. It looks like their March benchmark for this century so far is only 28 (2012 and 2002). Edit: It appears the last time they fell below 28 in March was 3/3/89 (low of 19).

wx_statman Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Opheim 10N, Montana pulled off their coldest month in 63 years of records. Average ended up at -9.0, smashing the previous coldest Feb set just last year (-0.2 in 2018). Previous coldest any-month was -8.2 in January 1969. This station only goes back to 1956, obviously missing some big hitters like Feb. 1936. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need some of that dry air to advect in the next couple days. Will be an uphill battle trying to keep the snowpack until then, with that March sunshine.
