Interestingly the MJO was also in region 3 when we had the January blast. 3 is one of the better positions for us.

Sunriver Snow Zone Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 48 minutes ago, snow_wizard said: March sun destroys snow though. In temps 28-29 or above yes, but it's 26 degrees here currently so the snow will be fine. In fact the sun just came out and there's only a bit of dripping, which is just making nice icicles. As long as it's cold enough, sun only makes the snow more beautiful. Couples pics of the view with the sun from a little bit ago, not from my place though, I am not rich enough to have a view like this. 5 Quote Coldest temp this winter: -7 Jan 13th Snow depth at Mount Bachelor (last updated April 29th) 88" Snow depth at my home (updated April 29th) late season 1"! 23-24 seasonal snowfall at home (updated April 29th) 92"!!

BLI snowman Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 5 minutes ago, snow_wizard said: Even the 19th century had awful winters like 1888-89. I think 1930-31 was horrible here too. I thought 1925-26 had a short January Arctic blast. 2014-15 had a nice late November snowfall / Arctic front that saved it from an F here. We are certainly due for a turd sandwich, but it's highly unlikely to be next winter. 1891-92 and 1868-69 were both awful, as well. You might be thinking of 1927 for the January event. 1925-26 had a low temp of 28 in Seattle with the lowest max for the winter at 39. I don't think either Portland or Seattle had a flake of snow that winter. Even Chilliwack only managed 0.5" that winter in late October, another victim of the Nino October curse.

DareDuck Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Picked up about 1.5” since yesterday in Bend. Sun is out but not melting where it’s shady. March sun doing its work in other areas. 39” on the season, just over 3” to go match last year's total. Monday could help us get there. This year is probably a B with a chance of bumping up to B+ if Monday is good. 16-17 and 92-93 are the A+ years here. 2019 was an A.

VancouverIslandSouth Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 4 minutes ago, ShawniganLake said: 43F and sunny with a gusty SW wind this afternoon. Looks quite snowy up around Comox. March has been such a dud month in Victoria. In the 8 years I've been at my current location I've only recorded about an inch of total accumulation. Definitely my least favorite month of the year weatherwise. I've got to start prioritizing vacations for this month rather than Nov - Feb.
