BLI snowman Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 3 minutes ago, Phil said: Well, 1988/89 and 2017/18 were/are the closest SSTA/warm pool matches, and have been for months. Looking farther back, 1942/43 (reconstructed) is relatively close as well. Also, there’s some lower frequency homogeneities between 2020 and 1995/96 & 2010/11. While they were different in terms of the timing and amplitude of their respective intraseasonal cycles, especially in November, the low pass signals are increasingly adjacent. The vast majority of analogs I’ve looked at featured significant western cold/snow at some point. Neither of those delivered much in the way of January action in the PNW, FWIW. 1989 did have a border-hugger arctic event early in the month and then a couple of lame troughs. January is a pretty dastardly and problematic stretch of calendar here, really. I propose renaming it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was surprised to wake up to a temp of 28 this morning with hardly any melting other than on the cement and trees. Same here, I think the clear skies really helped. The air dried out a bit too. Surface radiation is very effective in those conditions. I took a walk out and the snow is crisp/crunchy now with the slush having turned to ice. Still plenty of snow on the road here, I think it caught the city off guard because they haven't done anything to clear it and they're normally pretty quick on it around here. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a product of the air column overhead. Portland can see widespread snowfalls with fairly marginal upper level airmasses if the column cooperates. See 1/3/2016, 12/29/2009, and 12/18/2005 for 21st century examples. In fact, it generally takes a pretty high end low level airmass (January 2004, February 1996, January 1979) to see really widespread icing in the Portland metro. Otherwise 33-34 degree rain is more common once you get away from the gorge. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MossMan Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 At least (up here anyway) we are out of the cluster of crappy winters that were 13/14-15/16. Those were horrible for the most part. Good snowfalls in December 16, 17, 20, and a big windstorm in 19. Then the great (up here) event January of last year, and good to epic events every February starting in 2017. Hard to complain about that! Would like to see more dynamic wind events again and less boring stretches/split flow stuff but otherwise it’s been a good series of seasons!

Rubus Leucodermis Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 27 minutes ago, Kayla said: Yeah I think the that ball was rolling before we moved here but it is quite astonishing how much its changed since we moved here 4 years ago. We didn't move to Bend for that very reason but here we are now. COVID is just accelerating the whole process and it's sad to see. It truly is a gorgeous microclimate area with more snow than you could ever ask for. I really wish the door had slammed shut after we moved. We feel really fortunate that we bought land and built when we did cause there is no way that we could afford it now. The value of our home has seen nearly a 70% increase (and counting) since completion 3 years ago. The same process is well underway in Bellingham. I moved here once I realized I could cash out my expensive home in Seattle and semi-retire here, but I am hardly the only one and the resulting upward pressure on housing costs has been very hard on those trying to buy with only a Whatcom County salary or wage to rely on; jobs just do not pay that well up this way. Bellingham is definitely not the industrial-town-with-a-college that it once was. It’s turning into Santa Barbara North, like it or not. 2 Quote It's called clown range for a reason.
