I literally started my post with the phrase "There are always exceptions" :lol:

 

There are certainly typical ways that El Nino and La Nina tend to behave, though. To ignore that would be kind of silly.

Yes, yes. But you guys are having a knee-jerk reaction to one individual. An individual who knows much more about weather in his backyard. Not ours.

What a gorgeous day, btw. Mostly sunny and 55 currently after a low of 34. Fall colors around town are looking great.

44 here and once that sun goes down it will drop fast. Forecast is 18 degrees.

 

May copy High Desert Mat and pour some water on the car. Lol

Had some frost this morning with a low of 35. I think some clouds got in the way of cooling last night around here. And it is only up to 49 at this hour!

That’s kind of funny. I honestly didn’t remember who it was.

 

Side note. It’s pretty chilly outside the car today.

 

That Fraser outflow seems a notch or two colder than the event a week and a half ago.

 

Temps in the low 50s with dps in the low 20s at BLI.

Normal for Portland on October 9th is 67/47.

 

So it only takes being 10-15 degrees below normal to make some people happy.     Climo sucks!   ;)

Once it gets to 15 or lower I put a sprinkler on my juniper tree for quite an effect by morning. I leave it on all night and get up to quite a masterpiece. By 10am people are stopping and taking pics. It’s nice once it stays below about 25 all day and a little snow is on the ground. Yes, geekdom.

Hey guys, thought I would let you know that we probably could put a fork in this winter. Most of the Mid Atlantic and Southern New England guys are using their big weather brains and have pointed out that all signs point to some serious blocking that could freeze rivers from the Charles to the James. What this means that these poor snow starved guys will finally get their winter with season snow totals being measured the yards. All of this comes with the expense of persistent ridging in west, that is a typical Nino year. Don't worry though, that new Ice Age is right around the corner, sometime in 2030 or so, and we will get plenty of snow before dry Nor'easterly winds destroy our moisture advantage.

:lol:

 

I love you man.

Dude, comeon man. You can't just bring something like that up and not provide a pic.

Yeah, there was an exception 8 months ago. ;)

 

These tendencies change over time too..what may have been “climo” in the past may be less so in the future.

Sure. Maybe once the ice age finally hits we can throw the rule book out the window. ;)

 

Seems like El Niño’s and La Niñas have been following a pretty general script around here as long as we’ve been recording weather, though. Outlier years like 1968-69 or 2018-19 notwithstanding.

Winter started in Spokane already. 3" there in the city with some local amounts up to 7" according to NWS.

 

I've yet to see my first sticking snow, but saw flakes on 09/28 here.

Some highs today. Very impressive considering most were under full sunshine, though some in E. Oregon were held down by clouds.

Well, the weaker the ENSO, the less likely it is to follow a script. All else being equal. Last winter was weak ENSO.
