Phil Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 I wasn't aware that we had been in a cold pattern the last few weeks. And in a stunning upset, foggy inversions were voted less interesting to track than record rainstorms by literally everyone in the universe.I value the personal experience of weather conditions over the “tracking” of them, but that’s just me.

ShawniganLake Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 That wouldn’t include an inversion under a discontinuous retrogression/-EAMT, though? I get the progression is often the other way around, but that needn’t be the case, especially this year.Can you think of an event where a region wide snowfall was preceded by an extended foggy inversion?

HighlandExperience Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Can you think of an event where a region wide snowfall was preceded by an extended foggy inversion?No never. But I can remember many wet times transitioning to snow. Fake cold and fog is our most boring weather. Seems or feels like we had a lot of it between 2000-2005.

BLI snowman Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Can you think of an event where a region wide snowfall was preceded by an extended foggy inversion? January 1929 is probably one of the more favorable examples of us quickly transitioning from an extended fake cold pattern at midmonth to genuine cross-polar stuff and offshore blocking. Still took a few days and there was a little transition event with rain first. And it was also 90 years ago and our climate didn't totally suck yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmcgaffey Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Again, I digress. Some people find winter rain enjoyable, and I will just have to learn to accept that. I don’t think anyone here was cheering on warm rain events just the extremity of this rain event which did bring some good snow to the mountains and rain to the northwest which has been fairly dry lately and was a good benefit to the region in general. I think everyone on here wants a good snow and cold event during the winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone on here wants a good snow and cold event during the winter.Almost all of our really good, memorable winters have all of the above. Liking big storms with wind/valley rain/mountain snow AND liking cold/lowland snow doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive. If anything, they are both in keeping with the general theme of liking interesting, active winter weather around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
