March 2019 Weather Discussion in the PNW

[Requiem]

Apparently it’s actualk snowing pretty hard and accumulating at my house.....hmmm

[TT-SEA]

Most of the dusting that fell earlier has melted off even though it has non stop snowed since 10am because temps are just slightly too warm. Should change once the sun goes down

 

 

Except the back edge of the precip is moving steadily east...

 

[Timmy]

My boi Yev just stuck his fork in winter below 1000'.

bold statement!!! WOW

[Perturbed Member]

18z GFS showing what will likely be the final gasps of winter precip for PDX area tonight. Temps in the 31-32 range with some fairly organized showers and close to ~.10 in of precip. Pretty solid odds that those of you on the west hills or places of elevation are going to get at least an inch. Probably a dusting for the rest.

12 years ago it was 31 degrees warmer in Salem, on this date, at this time.

Could be precip after the front potentially

I was actually just thinking about the pattern 14 years ago. Even more anomalous and close to 40 degrees warmer than this afternoon for many places that first ten days of March.

Not until tomorrow morning.

 

It will take awhile for onshore flow to ramp up and the instability showers to start moving in.

yea you’re probably right

And they are starting to pop up offshore.

Will not get inland to the Puget Sound region until tomorrow morning.  

[Jesse]

If PDX's high of 35 today holds it will end up being their coldest MAX this winter.

Perfectly timed stratiform precip for a cold max.

[TacomaWaWx]

could be cold enough if it falls before noon or so we will just have to wait and see. I’m just happy we got a little snow today one last coat of snow for the winter

[El_Nina]

I just noticed that you have a picture of mine from the day after Christmas as your profile pic.   

I thought you would notice so fast!

[Jesse]

Yeah really just a fluke if anything. Highs in the mid-30s would be happening in March left and right if we could just get the stratiform precip timed right.

[TT-SEA]

I thought maybe it was like that for a long time and I just never noticed.   I don't see profile pics on my phone.

Ok Tim

[El_Nina]

No it's been up for like 4 days now.

There is a chance

[jakeinthevalley]

Yep, that was a wonderful stretch of weather for about a week. I know I hit 70 a couple days. Can't remember which ones though

[TT-SEA]

Ok Tim

 

OK Chris.  

 

It will be after 4 a.m. per all the models. 

[GHweatherChris]

OK Chris.

 

It will be after 4 a.m. per all the models.

Who's arguing? You ok?

[James Jones]

Getting a bit of stickage on grass/dirt now.

[Front Ranger]

I just noticed that you have a picture of mine from the day after Christmas as your profile pic.   

 

I've thought about ******* with people and using the exact same profile pic as someone else on here.

March 2005 was pretty great. For some reason I got really into fishing for stocked trout at the St. Louis Ponds near Gervais. In those days I got off work about 2:30p and would go out there and fish until the sun set. Wonderful afternoons spent out there, even caught a few incidental bass which was amazing for so early in the season. 

[Front Ranger]

We could have done this last December but noooooo, you just had to wait until baseball season started...

 

You have it backwards. Last December was screwed because people couldn't wait last February.

 

Now this coming December is screwed.

Moisture wrapping up within next couple hours. Timing could not have been any worse. 

Next best chance could be a PSCZ tomorrow night into Friday morning.

[Geos]

Steady snow falling here at home, but not quite sticking yet. 34*. Snow was trying to stick on Novelty Hill when I left at 2:30. Hoping that it can cool off towards sunset. I know that's what's keeping the temp up a bit.

Yeah horrible timing. Even if it would have waited until after 4pm, it would have been a lot better than 11am start time. 

[Jesse]

Down to 33 with the heaviest snow of the day. Sun angles **just** dropped below 20 degrees too, so now they are equivalent to any mid winter afternoon.

[bainbridgekid]

Nonstop moderate moderate snow here since about Noon but just the worst possible timing for anything to stick.

[El_Nina]

The most stickage is now occurring as the back edge moves through.

I remember fishing those as a kid. Isn’t there like seven little ponds there next to I5? I used to catch the trout along with lots of bluegill and crappie. Ever fish the man made pond just north of Woodburn just east of I5?

[Cloud]

SEA only got up to 40 and BFI to 42 today. Chilly day, but of course it's raining. 

 

Appears to be snowing or mixed at SEA right now at 34F. 

[Front Ranger]

A total of 0.00 inches here.

 

There seems to be many scenarios where your location is snowier than mine.  

 

It's clear you have successfully willed away any additional accumulations at your house for 2018-19. Well done.

[Deweydog]

Nightmare commute!!!!!!
