Requiem Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 That mentality can apply to many things in life aside from weather.That’s true. I compare myself to others way too much. I guess it’s good enough just being me instead of hating myself for not being someone else.

Perturbed Member Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Pretty cool event, it absolutely delivered in terms of precip. It really could have had some serious totals if we had some cooler/drier air in the gorge already. The heaviest precip was well to my east so I didn't get cold enough until early AM. Ended up with dusting on non road surfaces. About the same as some of the previous brushes with snow this season. The band had a very sharp cut off to the west. Just a few miles west of the metro in Banks and areas further west in the coast range there was nothing. Even at the places with 800ft or 1500ft, zero accumulation. The best dynamics were over on the east side/Clark county. Really glad to see some of you scored a few inches! This setup would have absolutely killed it for us back in Dec-Jan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow_wizard Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 I love cool nights too. I’ve said this before, but it was amazing to me how quickly you guys cooled off at night when I was up there the last few summers. Right when the Sun went down you could feel the difference. Like instantaneously. Even on those 100*F days in Leavenworth, the temp would drop into the low/mid 60s at night and we opened the windows. Like wtf? Was so foreign to me. Around here it struggles to drop 10 degrees from the afternoon high to midnight, and then the cooling slows even more. Diurnal cycle is like 12-15 degrees. That is one thing I love about the West. 2 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

VancouverIslandSouth Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 The fields near chilliwack don’t appear to be flooded. And the 0F dew points and 60mph winds are probably drying out the top layer of soil. Not good for early season crops, happy to see this is going to moderate rapidly. Finally jumped back above freezing here in Victoria, sitting at 33F now; with sunny skies and no snow cover the March sun angles should start ripping into this outflow this afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perturbed Member Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 The models actually handled this thing pretty well despite a certain bro going to bed mad last night. Yeah, I did notice the 3km NAM and Euro also picked up on the precip being heavier on the east side and that not much precip would extend into the coast range. They didn't figure this out until the event was right on top of us though. Overall it was a pretty good performance by the models except for being a bit too optimistic on cold air advection from the gorge too quickly, the FV3 was especially bad on that as expected.

snow_wizard Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Leavenworth is in a mountain valley and rarely sees highs around 100 or lows in the low to mid 60s. I would say highs mid 80s and lows around 50 are the norm there in the summer. You must have been there during a pretty major heatwave with those numbers. Oddly Leavenworth is a lot warmer than Cle Elum in the summer. They don't get the cool west wind as often. Cle Elum is an amazing climate IMO...they stay cooler in the summer due to cool air flowing in over Snoqualmie Pass and in the winter they stay cold due to cold air damming along the East Slopes of the Cascades due to the flow usually being offshore in the winter. 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

You must have been there during a pretty major heatwave with those numbers.We do average 30 days a year with highs of 90 or above. 100 is not nearly as common, maybe 5 on average. But we do get a lot of days in the mid 80's like you said. And it does cool down nicely at night. Mid 80's is probably the average, but with that being the average, anything above normal pushes is into the 90's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need to look at the 500mb pattern to know that. If fine details had gone a little more favorably the West Side could have seen numbers rivaling 1906 or even 1870.

You gotta get lucky and be in the right spot sometimes.I saw some models making last minute shifts where they moved the sweet spot well east of me. Hey it could have been worse, there wasn't even a dusting just a few miles west of me.
