October 2019 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[TT-SEA]

You make yourself into a very large and easy target quite often.

 

 

Nah... its just too easy.    Supposedly on ignore and apparently still living in his head.     

 

I do think frost is sort of annoying.   I certainly don't cheer for it.   Just another thing that happens.   Oh well.  

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Going to have to check out the record for most freezes in October at Silver Falls. We are at 5 now, I know October 1952 had 13, but one of those years in the early 70s may have had more. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

The early Feb 2014 cross-Cascade event was nuts.  Wind blowing straight from the NE over the mountains.  Downsloped and warmed a bit but it was still only like 26F.

 

Yeah that kind of 33 me. Totally ate a ton of the precip, snowed all day on the 6th and only amounted to about 2", thankfully there was a quick burst and we got about 3" additional snow in an hour before the precip shut off.

12,000 people die in the U.S. every year falling down stairs. We should eliminate stairs.

Agreed. Stairs are annoying.

Well. It looks like a few years beat 1952.

 

1949: 18

1946: 15

1972: 14

 

Other than 2013, we've had unusually mild October's up here since I moved here in 2011. In fact in 2016 we did not even have a freeze until early December. 

 

The most freezes at the park in the 21st Century in October were in 2006 when they recorded 7. 

[MossMan]

How annoying everyone is being is very concerning.

[TT-SEA]

Best part about frost is that its usually the result of a sunny/clear pattern.

Sunny and 57 here now... light east wind.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Ton of spread on the long range ensembles. Probably just depends on where the ridge sets up, over us or offshore. 

[Front Ranger]

How many from guns?

 

Accidental deaths? 1,500.

[Jesse]

Very nice.

 

 

Looks like this month could still be sitting sitting significantly below average by the 20th. Seems like we’ll be due for a warmer pattern by then, maybe some ridging. Which would likely keep the cool nights going.

And this is just another thing that makes you an easy target on a weather forum. Oh well.

[TT-SEA]

Oh well.

 

Everyone likes different types of weather and expresses their opinions on here.   Not a big deal... unless you want uniformity and censorship.     

[TigerWoodsLibido]

 

Wow, this is truly incredible. Gets chillier on each run.

[Front Ranger]

Warm and wet. 4/5 Octobers there have been wetter than normal, with 2016 of course setting the monthly record with over 18". Tough to get freezes when it's raining all the time!

[Jesse]

Looks like VUO, maybe 3-4 miles west of PDX, saw a low of 34 this morning.

 

16 degree gradient over just a few miles. What a difference the wind makes.

[ShawniganLake]

Shawnigan lake’s monthly mean is down to 49.0 thru the 9th. Likely to be closer to 48.5 after today. The average monthly mean for all of October is 50. Impressively chilly so far.

Hark! His defender/normalizer has arrived!

Probably your coldest start to October since....?

At least I have a license to practice law. Jimbo is not going to be pleased when he finds out you’ve been representing him without one.

Jesse does not like dissenting opinions!

 

At all.

One of the many things you two have in common, coupled with feeble efforts to convince people otherwise.

Jim has actual, genuine enthusiasm for the weather he likes. He doesn't base a large part what he claims to like or not like on what he thinks will get under certain people's skin, or push some sort of agenda about the "correct" way to think. He's far from perfect, but it definitely makes him a lot more likeable. I'm proud to represent!

[Deweydog]

Good lord...

So he likes windstorms. Big whoop...

[TT-SEA]

Oh Jesse.

[Jesse]

Ok, you've more than earned your pay this week with the last few posts. Down boy!

[Jesse]

How about that 12Z Euro.

[El_Nina]

This early season cold has given me the sniffles.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

October 1946 was pretty cold too, here are the top 3 coldest October's at Silver Falls.

 

1) 1949: 43.0

2) 1946: 44.5

3) 2006: 46.1

 

January 1947 never gets talked about because it didn't stand out during that era, but it actually was a pretty decent January. A slightly warmer version of January 2017....

I woke up with a sore throat this morning. More evidence that cold air causes viruses.

[El_Nina]

Everytime I go outside in the cold my nose begins to run then it stops when I come back inside. Lip chapping follows the same pattern.

That is your body's response to getting cold or dried out. It has nothing to do with illness or viruses.

I'm surprised to see 2006 on that list, was it top 5 coldest at any major station?

 

And yeah, the 1946-47 winter tends to get overlooked a lot, mostly due to the insane stretch that started a few years later. Maybe that was the warning shot winter.

[MossMan]

Weather does not usually cause illness.

Kids going back to school cause illness. They should all be kept in school in quarantine for two months straight to let them all infect each other and run its course. Meanwhile all parents stay home and watch football during that time.

Little f*cking petri dishes...

 

Although mine was probably the result of getting bored and licking door handles at Fred Meyer a few days ago.

[Jesse]

That's a pretty suppressed stormy pattern for this early on the 12Z Euro, mid to long range.
