A fluke of sorts, and one that will only be increasingly rare in the future as the climate continues to warm. Hey if the trade off is getting rid of those soul crushing summer marine layer days in the low 70s, I'll gladly take it!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbbyJr Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 10 minutes ago, BLI snowman said: Don't think so, and at this point in 2019 we were at least staring down a pretty impressively bitter arctic airmass that was forming in Canada and swung down into the Midwest, right before we got cold. Chicago dropped to -23 with that. Their coldest temp this winter so far is 8 with nothing colder looking possible any time soon. Yeah the current pattern is nothing close to January 2019. The SSW event that month dropped the Polar Vortex into the Northeast and then the upper level pattern caused it to pivot west by early February. When that happened, the PNW got cold. Right now, the Polar Vortex is on the other side of the pole. North America won't get arctic cold under this pattern. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are likely going to go 4 consecutive winters without a sub-freezing high, which has never happened in the record books. Our only snow storm (6"+) this winter was way back on Nov 8th which is also the only day where we have had a high temp below 32F this winter. At 6300' in the Sierra! I don't think anyone thought we would have a historically bad winter this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bainbridgekid Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 18z is actually a fair bit snowier at face value. Gives us a little bit Sunday morning Seattle North, then another round of light snow Sunday night into Monday morning and has another period of lowland snow Tuesday morning. Spits out about 4" for Seattle through Tuesday morning. Lots of 33-35 degree slop, but nice to see some improvement. 1 3 1 Quote Everett Snowfall (510 feet elevation) Snow since February 2019: 91" 2023-24: 6" 2022-23: 17.5" 2021-22: 17.75" 2020-21: 14.5” 2019-20: 10.5" 2018-19: 24.75" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
