Coldest day was 20/11 which isn’t impressive (last winter had better cold extremes despite being the warmest winter on record), however it stayed below freezing for a full week, so vibes were very different this yr. Total snow ~ 13.5”, but 80% of it fell during that cold period so we had roughly 2 weeks of unbroken snowcover before the blowtorch resumed and melted it all in 36hrs. Peak snow depth was ~ 11”, largest single snowfall ~ 6”. And there was blowing snow for 2 days between storms which was low key interesting to me. Nothing like the epic ground blizzard in 2015 but better than typical dry/snowless downsloping wind that dominates every winter. 2 1 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have actually said as much in reference to your area. Not most of the rain... but the difference between 85 inches and 100 inches is likely not significant in terms of water supply. And in fact much of it does run off during heavy rain events when we run up our annual total as evidenced by rivers rising fast and flooding issues. 1 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Re: eclipse. -NAO/Archambault pattern to open April suggests cyclogenesis in NE US in the days leading up to the eclipse. That signal is pretty strong. Which suggests that, by eclipse day, confluence will be sliding off eastern Canada and high pressure will be building into OH Valley if not already present. So I like odds for clear skies from OH/IN into NY. Plains/Central US more vulnerable to WAA/clouds ahead of the next storm system by that point. 1 1 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s just assume that below average rainfall is the same for water supply as average or above. I mean even when we hit average it just feels like too much rain to me, personally. #science Edited March 28 by Cascadia_Wx 2 Quote Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
