Our extreme east wind event has ended. No damage in my neighborhood but other areas around town had a lot of damage. This is near Yosemite. 

 

Two squished Chevy’s. 😞

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

There is some element of terrain bleeding on the GEFS snowfall totals, but the point remains that there will be be multiple chances for snowfall, even down to sea level. Reminds me of Jan 7th-20th, 1969 and Jan 5th-11th, 1950.

Yes, those are some star-studded years that I'm mentioning, but they're mainly remembered for the crazy stuff that came afterwards. I'm specifically referring to those periods where there was bitter onshore flow with multiple convective snows down to sea level and highs in the mid 30's-lower 40's and lows around or below freezing.

This period coming up has the chance to be insane for some of the foothills. I hope we get something cool down here at night in the valley, but not holding my breath. Either way, it's a pattern we haven't seen in a while (Early part of the 2008 event if my memory serves me?), and a whole lot better than the constant torching of this winter.

And once again, our late Winter/early Spring climate shift to cooler averages is showing itself. It's a really weird trend considering that all our other months have been consistently (and dramatically) warming. I'll take it.

Also interesting to note that these periods of onshore convective marginal events are almost always preceded or proceeded by more substantial Arctic air. Not claiming that such a pattern shift will occur, but with the MJO migrating to phase 7 and the Pacific jet being mostly interrupted along with cold air building in western Canada, there is a considerable amount of potential heading into late this month and February for something like that. Again though, not holding my breath.

This has the potential of becoming an old school type pattern! PNA looks to stay negative for a while.

Give it to me straight.

What are the odds (%) the latest trend reverses and we finish the winter with 50 deg rain from here on out?

If you held me at gunpoint, I'd say probably something like 23.75026595794618950%, +/-0.0000000000000005%.

The potential for Sunday/Monday & Tuesday/Wednesday next week is off the charts, moreso Tue/Wed.

 I am getting excited.

Anything less than January 1950 will be a disappointment.

Gosh look at the 500mb pattern for March 5th and 6th 1951.

Abbotsford BC recorded 63.5cm (25 inches) in 48 hours.

Phil, what caused such an intense arctic pattern so late in the year? Its hard enough to get that around here in December and January nowadays let alone March.march51951.gif.7dda95caea97cad1888ee95d059ed47b.gifmarch61951.gif.3b7a27f71a3575ffb8a8a919cec32e55.gif

As best as I know this is the deepest trough over the Pac NW in the last 72 years.
