Phil Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 I wonder if there are other similarly long stories for the last 30-40 Januaries or so that have failed to deliver regionally around here.Ha. Definitely harder these days with the dampened (and slightly belated) seasonality across the tropical Indo-West Pacific. That’s the root of your issues, I think. So much of your winter patterns are dictated by the tropical forcing events with inception from that domain. But January 2020 had a real shot. And the synoptic versus spatiotemporal chaos debate is real..I’m sure some would argue the former. But there was a shot. And there was incredible potential. Was so depressing to watch it collapse in perhaps the most horrific way possible since there was no second chance (at least until after the spring equinox, lol). 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...

Front Ranger Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Nobody is going to talk me down from this. I have a feeling the coming few weeks are going to ooze 19th century. I haven't been this stoked about anything this time of year in ages if ever. The potential is there for a number of cold duration and intensity to fall this month and maybe into April. The -5 EPO being forecast the EPS is reason enough alone to know something highly unusual is unfolding. It will be interesting to see if intrusions of chilly continental air even extend well into the spring. I'm going to enjoy all of the unseasonably cold mins coming up, and snow is a definite possibility somewhere along the line as this unfolds. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

It might not be too noticeable overall if that verifies.

Deweydog Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 And that was despite vigorous tropospheric RWB activity that in many years would have delivered in a huge way. I’m pretty confident January 2020 would have blown February 2019 (and any satellite era winter month) out of the friggin’ iceberg in terms of western cold if the TPV didn’t get flukily trapped over the Beaufort/Yukon domain during that crucial string of wavebreaks in late December/early January. That was the event that ended winter, IMO. Once that happened, the TPV and strat vortex coupled like titanium, and there was no dislodging that sucker.Whenever we have a cold/warm/dry/wet month, I too wonder if things would have been different if things were different. What would I be doing right now if Al Gore hadn’t made the internets? Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I sure seem to bother some of you! I enjoy that part. Jesse says Randy lives at the top of Mt. Baker to dismiss his reports... even though his average rainfall is about the same as Portland. And side note... I have tried many times to recognize the situation in Oregon and SW WA has been different and said there is no way to make blanket statements about the region. But it seems like a compromise is not possible here. Oh well. Proof is in the stats... nobody up here can change that either.

Jesse Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 There is no way Randy only averages around 40” precip a year. That is a very wet convergence zone prone location right up against the foothills (close to 500 feet in elevation if I recall) Would be nice if we could stop perpetuating that lie.

And the detailed annual precip maps for western WA prove it. There is no wet zone right over him. And remember he moved several miles north. It just pisses you off that nature keeps the same area anomalously wet. No idea why that bothers you. But it does keep happening.
