SilverFallsAndrew Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 At least Western Oregon managed to pull off a below average month. Hopefully it isn't like last year where February and March were the only two below average months during the year. Pendleton had a -9.5 monthly departure.

TigerWoodsLibido Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 RIP yard work and mowing the grass for 2+ weeks according to the GFS. We need the rain but the grass is going to get so tall that the mower will have a lot of trouble with it. Mowed 2 days ago but it grows so D**n fast now.

Although the long term March average at Snoqualmie Falls is 44.26 and North Bend came in with an average of 45.2 for the month.

Front Ranger Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Summer is actually their “rainy” season. Their precip numbers start to increase with the beginning of ULL and convective season Ah. So similar to here. Although I would have to think they get more precip there than we get here in the winter, being more in the northern jet path. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Generally cold and dry in the winter. Mean jet is aimed farther south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally cold and dry in the winter. Mean jet is aimed farther south. Did you actually look them up? The 3 locations he mentioned are quite far apart. Clinton is in south central BC, Burns Lake is right in the middle, and Dease Lake is far north. Very different as far as relation to the northern jet. I'd imagine their overall dryness is tied much more to being on the lee side of the coastal mountains. Clinton is certainly much more in the path of the winter jet than Dease Lake. But given that they are over 800 miles apart, there are probably some significant climate differences overall. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Front Ranger Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Yes, all three. And now you are just splitting hairs. 800 mi is not splitting hairs. That is a huge difference in terms of how close they are to the northern jet. And southern BC is definitely in the path of the northern jet quite a bit during most winters.

Jesse Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 800 mi is not splitting hairs. That part isn’t. They are relatively far flung. Still, my general point stands. No need to try to reinvent the wheel here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Ranger Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 That part isn’t. They are relatively far flung. Still, my general point stands. No need to try to reinvent the wheel here. From what I can find online, it seems like areas from the central interior down to southern interior BC are definitely wetter than here in the winter. Prince George, for example, averages 2.14" in January, or about 4x what Denver does. So my guess that they are wetter in the winter, due to being more in the path of the northern jet, seems to have been correct. Interestingly, they definitely have a drier period in late winter/early spring. March is actually their driest month of the year. But Prince George averages 1-2.5" every month of the year, so not a ton of variation. Far northern BC, of course, is different. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

You would know the details of those climate better than I.I would expect the jet to be south of those northern areas pretty frequently. Not sure if it matters that much as those lee side locales can get totally rain shadowed even when the jet is active. Just going off memory here, I think the often dry Chilcotin region has historically seen their biggest snowfalls earlier in the season. I guess that could possibly be linked to the jet typically progressing southward during that season. Edit. Looking at locations on the north coast, their rainfall peaks in October, with September and January being about equal as the 4th wettest month. So you may be correct with the southward jet idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they still all get more precip in the winter than the spring or fall, which is different than here. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Looking at locations on the north coast, their rainfall peaks in October, with September and January being about equal as the 4th wettest month. So you may be correct with the southward jet idea. Yes, the northern polar jet progresses south normally over the winter. Which is even Seattle/Vancouver are wetter in Nov/Dec than January on average. But that doesn't mean the northern jet isn't a major influence during the winter for BC...it's the primary source of storms. And that's why those interior BC locations are easily wetter than here in the winter, and see a lesser "wet season" in between fall and spring - which we don't see here at all.
