If anyone can dig up 1/18/2012 I’d love to see that one! 

Pick your favorite 4hr window on that date and I’ll make a gif.

My dogs were enjoying a lovely 71 degree day inside (wonder if the radar picked up my sprinklers) my yard looked great, and RIP Dori.

Ho Lee shiz. I didn't realize radarscope had historical data. That is neat. 

Ho Lee Shiz....

Must be related to the pilots of that Asiana flight that crash landed in San Francisco back in 2013

That’s tier two subscription unfortunately 

Pay for it for a month, archive all this stuff you want to reference later, cancel sub.

Ho Lee Shiz, great pull. It was a happy accident on my part.

4 pilots and the plane still crashed…

KRTX radar changed modes (VCP31 to VCP21) midway through, hence the change in sensitivity.

Pranksters like that should stick to birthday announcements.  That was in really poor taste given the news being covered.

I believe people were fired over that one.

They were interns for the NTSB and they tweeted those names out.  No surprise that was their last day on the job.  

What else did they think would happen?  So stupid and like you said in very poor taste.

@Phil Blizzard of 2016 in Philly. 7-11pm or one of the three March Nor’easters in 2018. Use KDIX. Please and thank you.

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

@Phil Feb 24th-25th 2019 snowstorm in Central oregon. Any 4 hour period from noon the 24th to noon the 25th would work.

 

Although it probably isn't even that good, because we have crappy radar coverage.

This pattern just flat out sucks.  Absolutely no way to get any below normal days for the rest of the month now.  For a while it appeared we would get enough of a break to get a low level chill going mid week, but that ship has sailed now.

Right back to the nightmare pattern that has dominated almost every January this entire century so far.  At least we did get something worthwhile last week.

This is probably the best you will get, unfortunately. Central OR radar ain't on the government's high priority list

It was, but unfortunately, I have a very dark sense of humor so not gonna lie, I LMAO at that one.  And, being an aviation buff, I was  watching the coverage and saw this happen real time. 

 

Unfortunately, I haven't found a friend group that can handle my humor up here.  A the few times I tested the waters, it was like ripping a big 'ole wet juicy fart in church.  

I had an awesome group when I lived in Oregon, no boundaries at all, and we had some material that probably would have even had an Eddie Murphy type saying "too far guys...too far"

Interestingly... Seattle is significantly more sunny than Hanoi.    Roughly 2,200 hours annually in Seattle compared to 1,500 in Hanoi.  

Yuck.  My absolute least favorite weather is warm and cloudy.  Just feels suffocating to me.

PDX put up a 45/39 today.

Many people simply leave for cooler places. Big upside to that is traffic declines sharply after the 4th of July and stays that way until around Labor Day. Shaves 10-15 minutes off my commute.

Those first couple weeks of humidity are the worst, then you slowly acclimate to it (key word is “slowly”, lol). The summers where it starts suddenly after a relatively cool spring are nauseating.

That's why congress has done a summer recess for two centuries.

You’d hate it here right now. 

[Cold Snap]

Have gotten a decent amount of rain today and yesterday. 0.38” and 0.53” respectively.

Not sure that is going anywhere since the EPS shows the exact same pattern at the end of the run as we have now.

Up to 9.07" for the month, and a wet week ahead.

[Cascadia_Wx]

Looks like the early Feb chilly spell has faded a bit the last day or so. Although the ensembles still kind of hint at it.

Low of 42 here, which is also the current temp. Wet the last few days, close to 7” for the month now.

[MossMan]

Drizzle and 47 degrees.

.04” on the day, 3.78” for the month.

It’s stupid expensive but still worth every penny IMO. Absolutely essential for me especially during thunderstorm season.

36 this morning. Still lots of snow left here

Was briefly clear up at Rainier...

I found 7-11pm for 2016 blizzard (1/22) but also found the period where you were in the deformation band the next day (1/23).

And the bombing March 2nd 2018 nor’easter that backbuilt precip into Philly but screwed me. Still remember how hellaciously windy it was that day, Dulles gusted to 71mph.

Do you have a preferred radar site? Coverage is pretty crappy in central Oregon, you guys need a high altitude radar site in the middle of the state.

[Phishy Wx]

38, pouring.

snowpack is visibly disappearing by the hour 

[Slushy Inch]

Gem close to dislodging that Alaska vortex. Looks chilly.

That’s fuckin nuts bro. Difficult for us to pull that off even with training convection in July/August. And impossible in January.  

And when it does happen it’s usually isolated areas with much less elsewhere. I think tropical storm Lee in 2011 is the last time we achieved that kind of 24hr total on a more regional scale.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

00z EURO shows much needed rain is on the way through the next 10 days. ️
