wx_statman Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 My understanding is the PNW just got clipped by the edge of the airmass and it was incredibly cold. I used to live in Bartlesville, OK and the #'s it put up there are absolutely insane, especially for highs. 19th: 9/120th: 13/121st: 13/422nd: 6/023rd: 6/124th: 5/-325th: 12/-4 Their records go back to 1920 and they have never had another arctic outbreak with highs in the single digits... They ran a -14 departure for the month That is incredible. Yeah, we had -16C overhead and all-time record cold in eastern Oregon despite the backdoor nature of that event. Such a beastly airmass. It's very similar to what late Jan/early Feb 1996 tried to accomplish, but fell a little short in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverFallsAndrew Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Warm nose always hits Mt Angel to Canby to Molalla to OC it seems. It does. The foothills get hit with the warm nose during a lot of the valley snow events. I recall warm noses on 3/21/12, 1/3/16, 12/14/16, 1/11/17, 12/24/17, February 2014 too. Most if not all of these events I had snow, sometimes a lot (21" on 3/21-22/12), but there were periods of rain when sometimes Salem and Silverton on the valley floor were receiving heavy snow. Of course there have probably been 40-50 days during the past 8 years I had snow when the valley did not... So it works out. Especially with cold onshore flow. However, typically when there is a widespread valley snow event I end up with about the same if not less snow than the valley. 1 Quote Snowfall Precip 2022-23: 95.0" 2022-23: 17.39" 2021-22: 52.6" 2021-22: 91.46" 2020-21: 12.0" 2020-21: 71.59" 2019-20: 23.5" 2019-20: 58.54" 2018-19: 63.5" 2018-19: 66.33" 2017-18: 30.3" 2017-18: 59.83" 2016-17: 49.2" 2016-17: 97.58" 2015-16: 11.75" 2015-16: 68.67" 2014-15: 3.5" 2013-14: 11.75" 2013-14: 62.30 2012-13: 16.75" 2012-13: 78.45 2011-12: 98.5" 2011-12: 92.67" It's always sunny at Winters Hill!

Timmy Supercell Posted October 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Snowed half the day at Sunriver yesterday. On September 30th...not psychologically or physically ready yet. Had maybe a couple hours of non-sticking flakes late on the 28th here, at 37 degrees. Yeah many folks who live in an area that gets winter every year are not ready. Kids generally don't really think about trick or treating in the snow here, it might happen this year if it is timed right. Impressive. But then again, it can freeze any day of the year in Sunriver. I’ve experienced a 30°F low on July 3rd. Once it frosted there on August 1st. That's a cooler place than many, at least in terms of lows. So far upper 30's is about my coolest July low I've seen in all these years. 1 Quote Ashland, KY Weather '23-'24 Winter Snowfall - 5.50" First freeze: 11/1 (32) Minimum: 2 on 1/17 Measurable snows: 4 Max 1 day snow: 3" (1/19) Thunders: 11 1/27, 1/28, 2/10, 2/22, 2/27, 2/28, 3/5, 3/6, 3/14, 3/15 3/26, ------------------------------------------------------- [Klamath Falls, OR 2010 to 2021] https://imgur.com/SuGTijl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow_wizard Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 I'm feeling really good about the first half of October at least. Assuming the ECMWF is a worst case scenario it still ends up in a good place. The 12z EPS actually looks more GFS like anyway. One thing all the models have in common is a massive and persistent surface high over the NE Pacific and GOA. As I have mentioned in previous seasons; years that have abnormal high pressure in that region in October almost always go on to be good winters here. That is also a setup that will rapidly tank the PDO (a process that is already well underway). 3 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

Timmy Supercell Posted October 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 36 and a little frosty here. Earliest frost I’ve ever seen in Tacoma. It was pretty impressive for most places. More anomalous in lowland areas I imagine. 8 out of every 10 times there is something in the 20's at KLMT during this first week. There was even a 21 in 2017 in early October. 2 Quote Ashland, KY Weather '23-'24 Winter Snowfall - 5.50" First freeze: 11/1 (32) Minimum: 2 on 1/17 Measurable snows: 4 Max 1 day snow: 3" (1/19) Thunders: 11 1/27, 1/28, 2/10, 2/22, 2/27, 2/28, 3/5, 3/6, 3/14, 3/15 3/26, ------------------------------------------------------- [Klamath Falls, OR 2010 to 2021] https://imgur.com/SuGTijl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was even a 21 in 2017 in early October. We typically don’t see our first low in the 30s until late October or early November. Frost in mid November at is normal as well, hitting 36 on the first day of October and having frost is pretty anomalous. 1 Quote Tacoma WA elevation 300’ Monthly rainfall-3.56” Warm season rainfall-11.14” Max temp-88 +80 highs-2 +85 highs-2 +90 highs-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Ranger Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Prove it.2013-14 and 2016-17 were both better than any winter since 1992-93 for most of the Willamette Valley. Then you have the massive storm storm this past February for Eugene area. 4 Quote A forum for the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 I'm feeling really good about the first half of October at least. Assuming the ECMWF is a worst case scenario it still ends up in a good place. The 12z EPS actually looks more GFS like anyway. One thing all the models have in common is a massive and persistent surface high over the NE Pacific and GOA. As I have mentioned in previous seasons; years that have abnormal high pressure in that region in October almost always go on to be good winters here. That is also a setup that will rapidly tank the PDO (a process that is already well underway). Yes it does. The operational Euro seems kind of on its own right now with trying to turn that trough into a cutoff low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeinthevalley Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 There is someone who used to live in south Salem area, had 12-15" in Feb 2014. I don't think he's a member here but he occasionally posts on one of the FB groups. I had about 9" 2/14 in the hills of West Salem. That was about as far north as the heavy accumulations fell. South Salem hills, only about 3 miles south of me ATCF, did receive closer to a foot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 NWS tweeted that Great Falls, MT hit 9 degrees this morning. Looks like their earliest single digits on record by a full week (10/8/1985).Also looks like the 37 at PDX was their earliest since 9/28/1983.The frequency at which the 1980s’ records have fallen over these last few years (relative to other decades) is interesting in the context of the ongoing +PMM/-AMM structure, which until the 2010s, was not observed outside that 1977-1994 period and (perhaps not coincidently) the 1910-1935 period. 1 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...

Phil Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 The EPS weeklies have an outrageous +IOD signal in the tropics (both in U850 & VP200 anoms) through week 6. Raging easterlies across the IO with subsidence sprawling over the Maritime Continent. Verbatim, it’s the overpowering low-medium pass signal dominating the entire globe. More so than anything resembling a sensible EOF for ENSO. 1 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...

Could spell some NorEasters if you can get some strong highs in Eastern Canada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
