TT-SEA Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 That's fair. How'd you like December 2003 and January 2004? We were split between San Diego and here at that time... but mostly in San Diego during those months. Looks like a pretty wet period with a nice cold/snowy period for about a week here in the middle. I think we transitioned out of that cold spell quicker than Portland.

Frontal Snowsquall Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 You might have a long wait. I hope you do. I have a good feeling about September and October being nice. Even 2008 took until the middle of December.I wouldn't mind seeing sunshine, just as long as the days are cool and crisp. Mix in some stormy weather in between.

Frontal Snowsquall Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 With no nino developing to this point, I think there will be regional action at some point in Dec-Jan this time.Same here.

Omegaraptor Posted August 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 We haven’t seen an average or above average February in three years. Same goes for March at PDX if you go by the mean temperature instead of the average high. Last two Januaries have been torches, however.

Omegaraptor Posted August 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Trough is paying a visit. Some are happy. Others may be in protest. I don't mind at all, because of how deep it's digging down. Some rain in southern Oregon and far north California should definitely hold away the wildfires when I go to that region later in the month. Can't wait. It's just weather, anyway. One day of fall-like weather in summer is far better than having a multi-day trip ruined by wildfire smoke. Super glad this summer is absolutely nothing like the last two years when it comes to fires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I believe it originated on the East Coast. It's the official criteria that the NWS uses. I agree though that it's too broad of a term. It also depends on the anomalies a location gets.More like Boston. DCA has already had 40 days above 90*F and will probably hit 60+ by 10/1. 2 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Desert Mat? Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Since I’ve lived in central Oregon for the last 10 years, I would say 5 were white Xmas’s and the others were sunny and crisp, especially the mornings. Every other year though there has been a good dumping of snow. 16’-17’ there was snow on the ground for three months. I believe Bend got 70” of snow that year. Incredible to be here for that and driving semi throughout the whole winter as well. Last February wasn’t anything to sneeze at either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have had snow on the ground on Christmas Day at least 7 out of the last 10 years. And some of those years there was snow falling on Christmas. 2016 and 2017 were absolutely beautiful with snow on the ground and sunshine. We got about 6 inches of snow on Christmas Eve into Christmas morning in 2017. There was no snow last year... but it did snow a little the next morning.

Friday is cooler than previous runs with a more persistent marine layer. Good news for Saturday though... now looks totally dry and in the upper 70s with just some high clouds.
