November 2020 Weather Observations for the PNW

[Meatyorologist]

Very comfortable out there; breezy and in the mid 60s. Feels like a cloudy August day.

Cherishing this before the gauntlet of chilly systems barge in from the NW!

How did the GFS look this morning. Kinda forgot about it

Decent mountain snow. Nina-like pattern.

Good for building BC snowpack as well!

Looks like a very warm day back at PDX. Mild southerly flow and sunbreaks. Seems like the sort of setup where they could score a late season 70.

[jakerepp]

Wow, crazy warm down south of here. 

Definitely warm-ish here, but still looks very November-y. Good rainfall earlier in the day, and now overcast and breezy. Planes into SeaTac are bouncing around a bit.

Hopefully we get a couple more weeks of this. I've got lawn and tree work that I need to do around the property and this might be the one time that I dont want it to be cold before February.

Will you ban me if I downvoted this?

EDIT: Too late, the fingers did it before the brain could even think.

[MossMan]

Windy! Surprised I still have power.

If I haven't been banned yet, I think you'll be fine downvoting every single person on this forum for the rest of eternity.

Pretty mild and breezy here today as well. Up to 65f. 

[MossMan]

Never mind...It’s out now. 

[Jesse]

PDX down to 64 with light rain now. I successfully jinxed it.

Well last week it was 7hrs of generator time...Let’s see how long this one will be! 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Holding steady at 70F in Springfield.

A mild, muggy June day here. Not a fan.

How many gallons of gas do you keep on hand? 

[Blizzard777]

67* high today along with some breezy winds

The generator has a 15 gallon tank that I always keep full and then I have 10 gallons of additional fuel. It will run on a tank of fuel for almost 30 hours or so. I replenished last weekend. 
looks like the number without power has jumped in my area as well. It’s crazy windy right now!!

Set it and forget it...nice.  
I have a little 2000 Watt portable generator to run my pump under the house.  Had it now for 7 years and really haven’t had a chance to put it to work.  Only has a gallon tank so unsure how long it will run under a load.  Some day I shall find out.  I run it once a month just to keep it exercised though.

66/59 spread so far today with 0.03”.

Ya like Bend will get anywhere near that amount of rain.

Maybe swap Bend/Klamath Falls numbers and they look a little more believable. Even then, maybe more adjustments.

If there's any east side location that gets more rainfall than others, it's my place, seen it time and time again.
8.8" snowfall, probably not my place. The snow piles deeper in Bend than it does here, I can name 3 winters that has happened pretty recently.

Just tossed mine out finally.  Served me well along with the squeaking it made as it rotissed!

69/26 here. 

Mid-day was very pleasant, temperature is noticeably dropping as the sun goes down.
It's that time of year.

[Tyler Mode]

If today's low of 59.7 holds, it would beat my previous November record warm night by almost 4 degrees. It's also 4 degrees above our average HIGH.

Everywhere from Sunriver down to Klamath on the 97 corridor does. The climate zone seems to change slightly once you get south of the 44th parallel.

[MossMan]

Going on 4hrs without power...only 3 to go to tie last weeks outage time! 
still windy, 58, light drizzle, .04” on the day so far. 

[MossMan]

Power is back! Temp up to 59.

Bars. 

[MossMan]

Wow the wind is still whipping!! 

[snow_wizard]

I'm kind of intrigued by the pattern coming up.  The airmass never gets super cold or thicknesses super low, but the surface pressure gradients will have an Arctic outbreak look to them three different times in the Friday through Tuesday period.  A really pretty straight northerly gradient will set up during that period which often results in an overperformance of cold for the Puget Sound Basin.  Certainly nice for cold min temps.

[Timmy Supercell]

Deer are sparring with each other in the yard, making quite a bit of noise  

Obviously if I tried to take video I'd scare them off. Back to music listening here :V
