TT-SEA 3635 Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 If you are cheering for a cold May... the thing you really have to hope does not happen is Jim coming back on here screaming about frosty nights and historically cold patterns. That is truly the kiss of death. Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to post Share on other sites

TT-SEA 3635 Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Close to 1.4” here. Normal is 2.8”. Relatively close to the same departure in terms of percentage. The Snoqualmie Falls station which is about the same distance from here as Cedar Lake in the other direction ended up at 2.53 inches and normal is 4.47.

BLI snowman 6764 Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Yeah, that seemed to be the period where the global climate really turned the corner away from the 19th century/LIA hangover regime. Then of course there was another relative cool down from the mid 1940s thru the 70s. Followed by the current modern warming regime. Part of me wonders if we could ever see another couple decade bump down at some point, even with a multi-decadal warming trend continuing in the background, but the 2007-12 negative PDO period was sadly the best we have been able to muster thus far. The generally +PDO and weak ENSO forcing with a rapidly warming globe does sound an awful lot like the last 6-7 years, though. Just oscillating about what is now a much warmer mean than 80-100 years ago. There've been some similarities for sure the last few years, just in a watered down sense. From a national perspective, I don't think something like 1935-36 would be possible nowadays. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose February 2019 and October 2019 were solidly cold in a sustained manner we haven't seen for awhile. And of course there have been our PNW "Dust Bowl Jr" summers of 2015, 2017 and 2018 thrown in the mix. As well as our most honest to goodness cold winter of the last quarter century in 2016-17. Sort of the Western Family version of dynamism. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
