That was one of our big problems in 2016-17. ‘16-‘17 was one to remember over here. It was cold and we had snow on the ground from December 4th through March 4th that winter. I was getting up in the morning thinking it would warm into the 20’s that day but for weeks on end it would be in the teens and lows in single digits. It got old but I’d love for it to happen again. Best winter of my life. A few days I remember it staying around 10 for the high and it just didn’t warm up it seemed like forever. How did it stay that cold over here for so long? I mean daytime temps. Was it residual cold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like 92-93 no major Arctic airmasses. The mid-December and early January airmasses were pretty weak Arctic airmasses, so it still was plenty cold. And yeah, no big pineapple expresses or strong southerly pushes to mix out the lower basins East side.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 The early January 2017 airmass didn’t have great low level cold air advection, also there was a strong cross cascade gradient so I think there was some kind of downsloping component. We had a 25/13 day up here, but most valley locations had highs in the 34-38 range. Though many valley locations had lows in the mid teens. There was a pretty significant overrunning event on 1/7/17 though which really overachieved. 2 Quote Snowfall Precip 2022-23: 95.0" 2022-23: 17.39" 2021-22: 52.6" 2021-22: 91.46" 2020-21: 12.0" 2020-21: 71.59" 2019-20: 23.5" 2019-20: 58.54" 2018-19: 63.5" 2018-19: 66.33" 2017-18: 30.3" 2017-18: 59.83" 2016-17: 49.2" 2016-17: 97.58" 2015-16: 11.75" 2015-16: 68.67" 2014-15: 3.5" 2013-14: 11.75" 2013-14: 62.30 2012-13: 16.75" 2012-13: 78.45 2011-12: 98.5" 2011-12: 92.67" It's always sunny at Winters Hill!

snow_wizard Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Looks like we are going to have two early season cold snaps under our belts by Nov 10. There are some records that are pretty low hanging fruit during the period in question. For whatever reason there has never been a really solid cold snap in the Nov 5 to Nov 10 period. Interestingly 1936 was one of the better ones. Just one year after the insane late October cold wave (which went into November) in 1935. 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!
