March 2019 Weather Discussion in the PNW

[MossMan]

You’d think a warm and dry period now would lock in a more unsettled period later on the the spring but I doubt we get that lucky. Should be another perfect, drought filled warm season.

It will be the season of the Jesse.

[Jesse]

Yes. I just saw Mike Seidel live there and he was in blizzard conditions for sure. 27 degrees, heavy snow, 70 mph winds. Things we dream of.

I dream of split flow, dying fronts and withered vegetation.

Tell me about it. Snow, high winds, record low pressure, they’re living a dream!

[Guest CulverJosh]

Kind of short lived though there in Denver though. Not supposed to make it past dinner time.

Might actually book it away from here if that happens.

[Jesse]

Already running some big year to date defecits. Good thing it’s FINALLY drying out again.

CrAZY DrEaM! !!

Zero visiablity at times...WoW!

Well... cold is usually dry.   And its been cold!     Can't have everything.  

 

You don't know what the conditions will be like in the middle of summer either.    What if its a cool and dry summer?   Total disaster?

I’m sure almost everyone experiencing this storm wants it to be short lived! Some of the videos I’m seeing are downright scary.

Yeah, a quick-hitter, though it should last at least until 9. So about a 12 hour event.

 

It's hard to tell with all the blowing and drifting, but I'd estimate about 4-5" here so far.

I know. Be better on the weekend. I honestly think we will experience that here in the next 5 years.

The only total disaster around here is average weather.

Since most of the dry spots are the lowlands right now that should help a little with fire season. And a comparatively cooler summer might bring less convection to places that see more fires, so who knows that just might even everything out if it's not a hot one.

A cooler summer would definitely help decrease wildfire danger if it’s a hot summer.

[MossMan]

Been very wet over the last week up here.

[TT-SEA]

Hyperbole! 

[Jesse]

Hyperbole!

But total disaster was your hyperbolic statement.

[Front Ranger]

Your definition of “very wet” usually still means drier than average.

 

Actually has been wetter than normal in his area over the past week.

 

 

 

YTD? Not so much.

 

[TT-SEA]

But total disaster was your hyperbolic statement.

 

Liar.

 

More hyperbole.

[Jesse]

Liar.

 

More hyperbole.

Literally your words.

[Guest CulverJosh]

[Guest CulverJosh]

Btw. If not for that coast range we could have some fun showers this afternoon. That being said, looks like some may survive in the next couple hours. Sun is out here and the sky looks cumulous-ly. Yes, new word.

[TT-SEA]

Literally your words.

 

OK Jesse.   I am sure it was a post that was dripping with sarcasm to make a point at how silly it sounds.   You know that of course.  

[Jesse]

Nice day!

[TT-SEA]

Nice day!

 

 

Very droughty.   Cold and dry is scary!

[Omegaraptor]

Very droughty.   Cold and dry is scary!

 

You want rain even more than I do... and my dream temperate climate has 80" of rain per year.

 

53 here with scattered cumulus clouds. Feels very pleasant.

Tim simply can’t get enough rain. The longer you post here the more you will realize.

In case you're wondering, here's my dream temperate climate.

I am not a fan of drought and wildfires or excessive rain.   I know that is strange.

 

October - December was almost perfectly normal at the stations near my house in terms of total rain and days with rain... I was quite happy as you know.  

[Phil]

Interesting tidbit Re: The month of May when the PV is strong during the month of March.

Looks atrocious and unbearably boring.

Westerly momentum is already propagating poleward out of the deep tropics. I don’t think you need to worry (if it was winter it would be a bad sign, but heading into the warm season the regional implications are different).

[Phil]

Tell me about it. Snow, high winds, record low pressure, they’re living a dream!

Move to coastal Maine, dude. They can get nuked like this several times per winter.

[MossMan]

I think we have officially hit the slow season on the forum. And the smoke maps won’t be rolling out until late July.

[High Desert Mat?]

Wow that Bend Redmond area was all snow. Crazy it all fell in about two different storms.

Something like this would be just amazing

HOW DARE YOU do you know how hard it is to deal with a bunch of branches that get all over your yard and then your yard waste debris bin gets all full so you have to dress in all black at night and dump them in your neighbors trash bin cause you don't want anyone thinking you, as a homeowner, took a bunch of sticks and incorrectly disposed of them in your OWN garbage?!!

 

Don't they teach you kids anything in the communist robot factories they pump out these days except how to be a masked protester that blocks traffic in Boulder constantly which is definitely a very real thing.

[Blizzard777]

Today kinda got my blood pumping for warm weather with a dash of hail, wind and heavy thunder downpours

Tizz the season
