Gorgeous sunset from Mt Tabor park. Lots of big, downed trees on the north and east side of the park from our ARCTIC WINDS three weeks ago. But honestly the damage wasn’t quite as bad as I feared. I guess the historic shelter took a pretty good hit but that part of the park was cordoned off.

Posted by Skagit Weather,

I was intrigued so I looked up the average high and low temperatures across WA for August of 1899. Olga's average low of 45F is pretty impressive as it's about 4 degrees colder than anything we've seen in the last 50 years. The fact it's so much colder than every other location on the west side does make me wonder if there was an error with the thermometer at that time or maybe it was just incredible cold winds blowing off the straight. The Seattle average high for the month was almost 10 d

Just had a very intense snow shower move through. Looks like it's wrapping up, but it ended up dropping about 0.5" with some truly massive snowflakes up over 2" in diameter. It was hard to measure dep

Can’t recall ever thinking wow the NAM nailed this one.

It did nail the 8 inches I got from the Jan 2020 convergence zone FWIW.

Indeed! Though I would like to see that area shift about 10 or so miles north. Right now my old place looks to do a little better than my current location, however that place was at 280’ and my current place is at 550’.

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!

Not expecting much here but would love to be pleasantly surprised. At least the mountains both here and the Sierra should get NUKED over the next week… us first and them second. The entire west coast needs a replenished snowpack.

I feel like some places are going to get more than what the NWS is saying.

Nevermind NAM is a great model.

Seriously, the 3 km version is one I rely on as the time frame gets closer. But I think that’s a 12 km map. HRDPS also can be useful as the time approaches, though it does not look as far into the future as the NAM.

Terrain bleed is a real problem here and the high-res mesoscale models really help in sorting out the terrain bleed from the actual snow.

Incredible,  this looks to be the longest period of low snow levels this season. Snow levels should stay below 2k feet for ten days besides maybe 24hrs where it is around 3k. A bunch of 500ft snow levels.

I live 15ft asl. I might be a bit bitter.

Not very niño like. Late Feb/early March is usually a slam dunk for torching with strong +ENSO.

We did manage to get the “warm” (not cold) February monkey off our backs though, at least down here.
