Although it wouldn’t surprise me to see the ridgy pattern get extended. Need to save this example (of many) when you are busy mocking Karens. A totally normal October progression is described as misery. Karen-like indeed. You got so angry about @Port Angeles Foothiller complaining about climo low temps a couple weeks ago. Well... a progression from warm to wet is classic PNW October. Don't like quoting you... but you are the first person to jump on someone for complaining about anything you like. So the irony should be pointed out. 2 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely flat roof era at the lake house before the pitched roof was added in 1997. My Grandpa liked to make a snowman out of the snow shoveled from the roof.

the_convergence_zone Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 This next wet period looks like a real good one. And it’s only early October. The weather gods are paying us back for that obnoxious summer. And a double win if we can bag another sunny and warm weekend before it hits. I got a decent amount of gardening done this weekend, cleared out most of the raised beds, planted garlic, cleaned up my strawberries. Didn’t get around to tearing out the tomatoes. Planted some new peony tubers that I’m excited about. Weeds are coming in fast and furious so gotta keep on top of that. And I didn’t get to my bees either which I can do on one of these 70+ degree afternoons. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Interestingly, most of the 3+ year niñas followed strong/super niños. This one is backwards in that respect. The only match to this progression is 1954/55 -1956/57. Super niño followed 1957/58, but uniquely, did not recoil back into La Niña afterwards. In fact, the next 13 years only saw 1 weak La Niña, with 6 El Niños in the same span. 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...
Meatyorologist Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 40 minutes ago, Phil said: Back in 2016 or 2017 I remember pounding the drum for a heavy La Niña cycle in the early 2020s. The intradecadal IPWP oscillations tied to the solar cycle & QBO made it relatively easy to time. Same forcings that brought it about are flipping now. Approaching solar maximum, IPWP is set to extend eastward after this El Niño for another 5-10 years. After enduring the 2013-2019 stretch I really don't like to hear that. Especially given the extra decade of warming since then. No subfreezing highs here during that time period and a bunch of missed snow opportunities. Granted there were some ideal setups that we ended up rolling duds on every single time, which is super unfortunate and admittedly rare, but a stretch even half as boring would still test my love of this climate. (However it did make Feb 2019 all the more special!) 5 1 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Appears to be a general agreement we’ll get back to troughing by day 10. So the warmup will be quite brief. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
