Think you can trick us using a 5 day average? It still has some ways to go. Has been getting better each run 

I think you mathed wrong.

I believe it was a classic back loaded nina. 

My snow and school delay/cancellation records from back then. It didn’t snow all of those days, I used “snowed” when we had snow cover no matter how minimal it was

I was 13 at the time, and that time of the year I was completely obsessed with snow to the point where my grades were affected. And my spelling and handwriting showed that
 

Anyway, that was a good month. Much like February/March 1989 was.

2-3 feet of snow with record cold from Eugene to Vancouver BC.
 

Temps in the mid 60s stretching from Boston to DC.

You should count your lucky stars I’m such a saint. The opportunities I’ve had to brutally troll you all and decided against it outnumbers the stars in the universe.

I love y’all too much to do that even when it’s deserved.

Relax we know it won’t happen like that.

Still windy in Troutdale, it's a bummer we can't go outside to crack open a cold one, I mean trailers.

Impressive journaling. I’ve tried to do that a number of times but always slacked off.

Cold air finally broke here today, made it all the way up to 44F. Beautiful day though, big herd of Elk out back.

Currently. 25F.

 

 

Feel like a Wal-Mart, Panda Express, Dunkin Donuts, Nail Salon, Taco Del Mar, a Tae Kwon Do studio ‘n a N-N-Out would look great right about where that elk herd is.

Man... that has to be a record number of days with snow falling.   No breaks... just snowing non-stop for weeks!   That would put Bozeman to shame.

You set up a very easy "You'd be just as accurate" but I'm not that petty

I think that post came off wrong, it was a tongue in cheek reference to what you said in October, not a salty swipe.

[GobBluth]

It's a little surprising how undynamic the pattern is for California all the way into mid January. Like the expected El Nino split is set just too close to the coast ripping all storm activity apart.

[Slushy Inch]

Looks better than 18z!

[Phil]

00z looks like it’ll be a good run for Tahoe. ️

The second hand embarrassment for Phil and the entire East Coast is going to be off the charts if PDX and SEA beat them again in a strong Nino.

Positively tilted GOA-Beaufort ridge does bode well for cold advection. Fragile setup with the dual anticyclones merging, though.

[Christensen87]

Much better so far. Let’s see…

Yeah you’re right. Some convergence afterwards. I think is the best result we can get with the first trough.

It is fragile. Lot going on. That’s why models have been changing a lot.

[Slushy Inch]

You love to see it.

Round 2.

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

Looking like the best run yet, let's see if it'll let us get a round 3, then it's a touchdown!

I’d say you’re on thin ice, but you grew up in Stampede, so you never knew what that threat was.

[Phil]

Loooool

It does erode some cold air unfortunately.

I’m not trolling, I’m just using my 230 IQ to better communicate with you lesser folk on the perils you’ll encounter in what will be a multi decadal giga Nino which will turn Seattle into the new Sacramento. This is all scientifically backed, but don’t ask me for my sources.

A foot of snow in Woodinville.

Ten minutes of wet glop falling from the sky and melting on contact in Open Sores, followed by 24 hours of cold rain.

EPS weeklies actually show a small turning of the wurm after new year. maybe? 

 

Interesting hit on the weeklies. @Rubus Leucodermis cursed me so lock it in.

This guy never gives up. Slams down any shred of hope any of us have for snow. All while living 3000 miles away. Please give us the endless list of acronyms that explain why we can’t possibly get snow on the Canadian boarder in the middle of winter. 
 

I’m tagging your a$$ with every snow picture I post this year.

I might have posted on this pretty early too. It’s really been steadily improving.
