Part II- January 2020 Obs and Discussion

[BLI snowman]

Fyi. I sent a message to the mods to stop this nonsense. This person is not me.

 

I think I am going to stick around to see how clique-y this forum is. So far not impressed. Just constant harassment.

 

Btw, snowed all morning and I have at least 16" on the ground with lots of melt today.

 

Hi temp: 42

 

Seems your thermometer runs a little cold, this Culver station shows a 46/34 day

Beer

Beer

And shots?

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I heard Culver did not do well in this recent round of winter weather. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

And shots?

 

He is doing power hour with beer. 60 shots.

Nice!

[Anti Marine Layer]

353 pages already for the month and barely half way through.

Going to slow down quite a bit now though.

Fact is that if you like winter snowy weather you shouldn't live west of the cascades. It can be tormenting. Smashed a few weather radios in my youth over busted forecasts.

This brought me joy of laughter because it is True!  

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Well wtf are we going to do now. Need something to track.

[El_Nina]

We're doing it

The josharama index should be spiking soon so that’s at least something.

[El_Nina]

7.32" rain for the month now. 0.42" since midnight

[TigerWoodsLibido]

55/43 so we will have a nearly double-digit positive temp departure today.

 

EUG still running a +3.4F departure for the month.  Looks like they're about the warmest in the entire CWA.

So far HIO is 50/40 and PDX is 42/37.

Looking chilly in the clown range.

La Pine isn’t Josh. My brother is home wishing he could post again. I don’t vouch for some of the things he has done but when he’s sober he’s a pretty good guy. Just leave La Lurker alone and let josh back one more time. He will behave and if not you can ban us both.

Personally, I’m good. I like a taste of it each winter, I just got a taste of it, and I now live someplace with fairly decent odds of getting a taste of it. If I wanted more snow, I would have moved to Spokane instead of Bellingham.

 

But, especially in the case of Portland, the odds of scoring a snowy winter just aren’t that good. May sting to hear it, but it’s the truth: http://theweatherforums.com/index.php/topic/2155-part-ii-january-2020-obs-and-discussion/?view=findpost&p=554921

Yes....I think it’s been established by now that Portland weather sucks....moving on.

he definitely is. But I agree a verdict should be had with josh, either ban him or let him back. This weird lapine situation is worse. One more chance with the caveat no more drunk posting?

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Long range GFS was chilly.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Major dip at the end of the GFS ensembles.

I think he is LaPine, but everyone deserves another chance, I think. Maybe he could limit his posting on here when drunk?

I am Josh.

 

Behold.

Really great breath-seeing weather tonight. Wintry

[Deweydog]

Euro is not on board.

[GHweatherChris]

Looks like the incoming disturbance is splitting north and south up here. And Cali is gonna get hit with a separate system? Hi split flow!

[TT-SEA]

I think Portlanders have officially reached the bottom now.    Breath-seeing weather in January.   Score!!

 

Anywhoooo... its 45 at SEA and 42 here and feels a little like spring with melting snow at night and no breath-seeing conditions.  

 

We have had zero precipitation here today other than a dusting of snow last night.    Tomorrow and Monday look pretty much dry as well.

[TT-SEA]

Euro is not on board.

 

 

ECMWF is trending west with that little block in a week.   I swear we have seen that happen before.  

[MossMan]

The Skagit casino has Costco sized snow piles in its parking lot!!

Huh?

Those don't count.

[MossMan]

Those don't count.

Still solid snow cover up there as well!

[TT-SEA]

Huh?

The last block started shifting west in the models... too much energy was able to dig offshore as a result.

 

The ECMWF has looked fairly chilly in the 7-10 day period for the last couple days... but not so much tonight because that little block over AK has been trending westward with each run.

Can a block be little?

Pretty small compared to the last one we were tracking.
