SilverFallsAndrew Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Sun coming out here in Salem now. Going to be interesting to see what happened at the house while I was at work today. My wife has been working too so I can't bother her to give me snow reports.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Santiam Park about 10 miles directly south of my house and 700' lower got a good dump this afternoon. As recently as 2pm this was mostly bare ground. http://tripcheck.com/RoadCams/cams/ORE22%20at%20Santiam%20Park%20EB_pid2993.JPG?rand=1551921359896 Quote Snowfall Precip 2022-23: 95.0" 2022-23: 17.39" 2021-22: 52.6" 2021-22: 91.46" 2020-21: 12.0" 2020-21: 71.59" 2019-20: 23.5" 2019-20: 58.54" 2018-19: 63.5" 2018-19: 66.33" 2017-18: 30.3" 2017-18: 59.83" 2016-17: 49.2" 2016-17: 97.58" 2015-16: 11.75" 2015-16: 68.67" 2014-15: 3.5" 2013-14: 11.75" 2013-14: 62.30 2012-13: 16.75" 2012-13: 78.45 2011-12: 98.5" 2011-12: 92.67" It's always sunny at Winters Hill!

Frontal Snowsquall Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Not an easy call. I’ve had a hard time picking out the pattern progression over the last month..the current pattern is sort of trying to self-perpetuate, which reminds me of what happened with the warm pattern after 2013. A newish RWB structure has manifested and those tend to stick around for awhile. Sometimes for many years. Theoretically, it’s possible a warm pattern sets up in April/May but devolves into coolish/normalish/zonal pattern during the summer. Or another scenario is pattern instability through the warm season as wavelengths shorten and forcing displaced far away from the WPAC Warm Pool. I don’t think spring/summer will follow your typical +ENSO climatology or expectations in general. The QBO timing and deep solar minimum are both unique as is the timing of the OKW return cycle relative to seasonality. That doesn’t mean it will be “cool” spring/summer (I don’t see that either due to the developing El Niño), but ironically, it might end up cooler and wetter than any of the last several years because of the niño tendency and cold WPAC, rather than the opposite.FWIW my initial lean is this summer will be slightly cooler to average than normal based on some preliminary analogs I've looked at. Looking forward to another Summer Forecast Contest Year Four! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow_wizard Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 The GFS, FV3, and to a lesser extent the ECMWF all like the idea of significant snow shower activity in my area late tonight and early tomorrow morning. This is a perfect sceanrio for this area with WSW flow causing showers to train off of the Olympics into at least the southern half of the East Puget Sound Lowlands. No question the air mass is cold enough also with it currently snowing lightly here. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!
