I remember February 1989. We had a high of -4f with winds gusting to 40 mph. I remember dropping to -24f in 1996. Coincidentally, both of those years were la niña years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW8 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 31 minutes ago, snow_wizard said: If it doesn't hit 50 today that will make 17 days in a row without a high above 48 IMBY. Could end up being quite a string if we get through today. Small victory I know, but it's actually somewhat impressive by recent standards. Just so bummed about this dud of a winter thus far. For me, this actually summarizes how awful (not impressive) it's been. Persistent cold rain is the absolute worst case scenario in my opinion...though I suppose skiers may disagree. If we can't get cold/snow, please bring on the warmth and boating season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbbyJr Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 2 hours ago, Phil said: Bro I’ve been tracking a nor’easter and spring semester started last week. My hands = full. Certainly not my best performance this winter, but not the worst either. NH progression evolved similar enough to what I expected post-SSW but details were off. Probably thanks to the stubborn low pass IO component in January relative to MJO/sub seasonal variability. Can’t deny I thought the early February arctic blast would occur in the West, not the Midwest/East. But that’s always a higher risk forecast because it doesn’t take much to change that equation. Do you think the PNW has another chance at an arctic blast this month or have we run out of time in your mind? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvssnow_seattle Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Talking to the local here this has been one of the warmest winters in many years here. Our snowfall for January was minor overall and melted quickly (in a day in most cases) here in the Valley. I really enjoyed it, but afternoon temps have been pretty warm. My good buddy who has lived here for 15 years says this is not normal to have zero snow on the ground this time of year and temps consistently in the upper 40's... I am honestly okay with it, love the snow we have gotten, and winter is not over, yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highs in the 50s were unheard of in December and January. At one point, January was the coldest month. Now December is the coldest month.

The October thing isn’t real. The state of intraseasonal tropical forcing that favors western cold in October actually favors warmth by January thanks to seasonality of wave dynamics/number(s). Seasonal transitions are also the most complex periods of the year in terms of the evolution of the system state, so it’s the least likely time of year for low frequency predictability to arise (that usually happens near/just after the solstices). 2 Personal Weather Station: NOAA: https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/timeseries.php?sid=F3819&num=168&banner=NONE Wunderground: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62/graph/2019-08-23/2019-08-23/daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
