High Desert Mat? Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Bend broke their all time record snowfall in February of 43” with a solid 48” this year. Incredible that most of it fell within a 72 hour window. Redmond broke theirs too but with only a measly 44”. Crazy times. Seems it happens every two years or so with the major dumps. Then the years in between just get 2” here and 3” there a few times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Mode Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 First clear cool morning of the month. Dropped to 37 which is now my low temp for April. Doesn't look to last long as the next system is moving onshore soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacomaWaWx Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Has been a little chilly the past couple mornings. Has dipped into the upper 30s here the 2nd night in a row. I live within a mile of the sound so it’s harder for it to frost or dip below freezing at night here. Looks like its going to be a nice day as well today. The second half of April looks like it’ll probably be drier than the 1st half of the month, shouldn’t be too hard considering in the 1st half of the month we had 12 consecutive measurable precip days.

Omegaraptor Posted April 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I’m not going to deny that this was actually a fairly wet decade... But 2018 was a very dry year for anyone south of Longview. However 2012 was a very wet year and 2014-17 were all wetter than normal. 2010-11 rainy season was very notably wet. 2015 would have been very dry if not for that impressive December.

We had numerous NW flow events last year that brought the central and north Cascades and adjacent foothill areas up to or just above normal for the year while places closer to the Sound and southward were dry in those patterns. I realize this is built into the station averages... but that specific pattern was more prevalent than normal last year. So there has not been a drier than normal year in the central and north Cascades and foothill areas since 2013. The 2014-17 period was wet for everyone. It was the wettest 4-year period ever in Seattle.
