Jesse Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 When I was there the roads had huge banks of snow on the sides. One pile of snow in a parking lot down by the river was 2-3x taller than me...This pic was taken Downtown. He says there’s still a ton of snow out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wx_statman Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Interestingly enough PDX has its earliest 80 on record about a week and a half after the 1947 reading. Yeah, that was an interesting stretch. Lots of variability as the system was transitioning PDO phases, similar to the late 1970's. PDX torched that spring, but the switch flipped and we had one of our clammiest summers on record. Followed by decades of cold phase fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDX torched that spring, but the switch flipped and we had one of our clammiest summers on record. Followed by decades of cold phase fun.Interesting you mention that era. The slow drain of the Indo-Pacific warm pool (relatively speaking) out of the MC domain since 2013 is quite reminiscent of that period from 1939/40 to1944/45, where the +PDO/+PMM/broad z-cell regime established itself in a coupled fashion and slowly drained the IO/MC portion of the Warm Pool Heat Engine for several consecutive years. That eventually cooled the IO/western MC enough (relative to the WPAC) to abruptly tighten the Walker Cell starting in late 1946, which marked the inception of that -PDO/-ENSO era. I’m not sure we’ll follow the same path this time (the Atlantic/WHEM Meridional Mode appears to be entering its cold mode now, unlike then when it was still warming) but the IO-WPAC gradient can only grow so much before some kind of phase change occurs. 2 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverFallsAndrew Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 And I have a new name for the ICON. I-WRONG model. Hey you asked me a question the other day and I wasn't able to answer at the time. It was if I get cold air from the gorge or the Cascade passes. The answer is actually neither, except in rare cases. Every couple years I will get strong offshore winds, in mountain wave/cross cascade type situations, but that is rare. Generally I am at the mercy of the airmass. Cold onshore flow is what really does the trick, anything with 500-1000mb thickness below 528 will be snow up here, even if temps are well into the 40s in the valley. I'm in a good radiational cooling spot too, but if flow is southerly and the airmass is mild I will not hang onto that cold air.
