June 2019 Weather Discussion in the PNW

[Requiem]

Teleportation is the only viable transportation option IMO. Once we get around the possible effects of cellular degeneration prompted by a convergence of quantum particles (therefore inducing a radical change that manifests as movement), we can surely begin to build stations around the globe to teleport to and from. I'm sure the alien races will contact us within the next few years, so perhaps we can take some of their advanced technology to replace our primitive drivel.

 

Also, cold anomalies!

Phil's rocks are bigger than Tim's rocks!!

[Jesse]

18z trended a notch colder for Thursday. Thicknesses down to 540 would be good for snow below Timberline.

[TacomaWaWx]

Today could be the warmest day for the foreseeable future. Currently 74 degrees in Tacoma. Hopefully some meaningful precipitation comes out of the next 10 days.

The problems you cite are merely the superficial, rectilinear ones.

You don't know that...

[Frontal Snowsquall]

I’ll believe it when I see it.

I know it's been a rough couple of winters for you guys out in Washington County but keep the faith. Mother Nature will always balance itself out in the end so your time to score sticking snow will come soon.

[Deweydog]

Nice to see an equally retarded discussion get resurrected to purge our minds of the last one. Thank you Phil.

Above the fray alert!!!!

[Phil]

You don't know that...

What?

[Phil]

GhChris has solved teleportation. Brilliant.

[Jesse]

I think they just need to pray to their Lord and Savior Jesus H. Christ more. He loves when you bug Him about snow.

[GHweatherChris]

What?

On that subject I know just as much as you do, so ..

[TacomaWaWx]

64 degrees and clear here currently. SW breeze has been picking up.

Can confirm

[TacomaWaWx]

Can confirm

it’d be nice to have a solid 20+ inches of snow from Vancouver to Eugene this winter. Was fairly close to that this year outside of PDX.

[MossMan]

I want more people in Oregon and better infrastructure. I’m weird but I miss efficient infrastructure like in Texas and California. Cutting down some conifers esp in the burn scar areas is vital for more people. More $ in the state. Like I said, I know people don’t agree with me. Just my opinion. Yes, I like to go faster and not be behind 4 semis going 35 mph and I can’t see the scenery.

You can have all of the people that have moved into Snohomish Co over the last 20yrs...And you get bonus points if you take all of the druggy tweakers from the county as well!

At one time, or total for the whole winter?

[ShawniganLake]

Sunny and 78 here this afternoon. Wind came up late in the afternoon and things have cooled this evening. Currently 62.

[TacomaWaWx]

whole winter snow total. We had 23.5” here.

[ShawniganLake]

whole winter snow total. We had 23.5” here.

Vancouver BC (YVR) had no where near 20” of snow last winter.

[Omegaraptor]

99% chance next winter is the same weak Modoki Niño crap as last one. I really can’t have high hopes. Rain and snow will probably be pathetic again.

 

Susanville, a town in the NE California high desert, has had more rain YTD than either the Portland or Hillsboro stations. That’s depressing.

 

This myth that Portland has a wet climate needs to die.

[TacomaWaWx]

Vancouver BC (YVR) had no where near 20” of snow last winter.

Yeah I know it wasn’t a full uniform 20 inches all across western WA and BC but it was close to that in many places. Good swath of snow in central and southern OR as well.

[ShawniganLake]

Yeah I know it wasn’t a full uniform 20 inches all across western WA and BC but it was close to that in many places. Good swath of snow in central and southern OR as well.

It was actually a below average snow year for lower elevations around the City of Vancouver YVR. I don’t think they’ve had an above average snow year since 08-09. I’d have to double check that though.

Think I was around 36” or so.

I honestly thought that BC in general did better with snow totals this February-Early march. Sounds like the higher elevations did better obviously. I went up to orcas island on March 4-5th and up about 500-750’ there was decent snow depth on the ground still about 3-6 inches. 2000’ There was 2-3’ of snow.

Outflow was pretty dry in a lot of areas but snow totals varied widely around southern BC.

[TT-SEA]

By early next week... there are no positive 500mb anomalies anywhere in the country.

 

[Phil]

On that subject I know just as much as you do, so ..

Your comment suggests otherwise.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Let’s keep these trends going through next Feb. Old timer Dec-Jan pls.

[Front Ranger]

Even 2016-17?

[ShawniganLake]

Even 2016-17?

You are correct. 16-17 was above average. I remember reading that they hadn’t had an above average snow year since 08-09 but I should have fact checked

[jcmcgaffey]

It’s raining! I feel like it’s been forever.

[TT-SEA]

It’s raining! I feel like it’s been forever.

 

We both had heavy rain 11 days ago.

[MossMan]

Wet deck. But no rain falling currently with partly cloudy skies.

[TacomaWaWx]

drizzle in Tacoma this morning and 55 degrees.

[jcmcgaffey]

I know but for some reason it feels like a long time. I’m used to rain every 3-4 days:)

[Geos]

Nice drizzly morning here. Looks like a weak convergence zone from Mukilteo to Duvall area.

[BLI snowman]

Vancouver BC (YVR) had no where near 20” of snow last winter.

 

Yeah, and the entire stretch between Centralia and Corvallis wasn't close either, not just PDX.

[TacomaWaWx]

Yeah, and the entire stretch between Centralia and Corvallis wasn't close either, not just PDX.

like I said I know it wasn’t a uniform 20 inches but it was pretty solid winter for the most past outside of SW WA and NW OR.

[TacomaWaWx]

Wet ground here in Tacoma maybe even a hundredth of an inch of rain lol.
