MossMan Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 9 minutes ago, Andstorm said: I think the winter of 23-24 will go down as pretty weird one. one week of record low temps surrounded by very mild conditions. I don’t recall a winter here in portland at least where the 850 temps have been this high this consistently. Hell, the 850 temps weren’t even very impressive here during the cold stretch. It’s not a dud but i think hindsight will reveal this to be a more trademark nino winter than it feels like in the moment. It’s January 19th…Lots of winter yet to go. 2 Quote Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Popular Post Ken in Wood Village Posted January 19 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 19 Well, still no power stuff is melting and I was able to get to the store. Roads are OK but a little slick in spots. The hill next to me is a hill you don't want to stop on because you will get stuck. You need to get enough momentum to reach the top and then slow enough to take a right turn into the complex. I did slide a little doing that but slowed enough to get the vehicle under control. I don't mind it snowing but all the freezing rain is way to much. You can't do anything on ice. I'm hoping we stay above freezing tonight so the ice melts more.

By extention, assuming an arctic blast happens, a 95% ish chance (lost that file when computer went kapoot) we get 1.5 inches or more of snow in Portland. Unfortunately 72-73 went into 73-74 which was the exception. Strong Nino into strong Nina.

When we got home early this morning the trees were all still hanging with ice and there was around 4 inches of snow. Still hovering around 40 this evening with a dewpoint in the low 30s and the east wind still going.

I believe that January was the lowest SST reading in 3.4 in the HADISST1 dataset. Pretty good chance that it was an exceptionally strong event. The 500mb pattern was off the charts that winter, with a SE ridge and warmth in the East that would be top tier even now. Another pre-1950 contender is 1916-17, which has the most positive SOI on record.

I know a lot of people have good memories of 2020-21, but 4 days of winter during a Nina was a huge bummer imo, plus getting slammed with a sh$t sandwich of ice was a drag too.
