I agree that the models are struggling right now, but they could also do a flip to milder solutions at the last minute. Not saying thats going to happen, but the GFS solution does not have the Euro's support right now. The Euro is said to be the most reliable model thus I have trouble being onboard without its support. Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post luvssnow_seattle 1720 Posted February 4 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 4 I am looking forward to some chilly highs next week here in Spokane. IN OTHER NEWS - My wife and I just bought 3.5 acres up towards Colville WA. This will be the view from backyard in about a year from now. I assume next year there will be more snow as this has been a horrible year for snow in this area. Pictures taken about 5 days ago.

SEA's record is actually 688 days, so not too different from PDX. SEA had zero sub-40 highs in 1957-58 and 1991-92, while PDX had zero in 1966-67, 1999-00, 2002-03, and 2019-20. 2020-21 is shaping up to be the first winter where neither did it! 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But I would move for more snow. The problem is I don't like hot weather so that limits where I would be willing to go. I was actually looking at coastal New Hampshire for fun a couple of days ago. I would also consider moving for political reasons if things continue like they are around here. I am also looking at coastal NH (or Maine.) The Californication of Washington/Oregon plays a big role in it. Also, I got laid off from my job of 17 years, and am at the age that I need to find a place where I can settle in another 17 years to retirement, so its kind of a now or never kind of thing... Also figured out this morning that flying out of Boston to see my family in Atlanta is crazy cheap, and curiously enough, it costs about the same to fly from Boston to Great Falls (to see my Mother in Law) as it does to fly from Bellingham to GF....about $300-350. Boston-Logan is a 1 hr drive from Portsmouth NH on the NH ME border. 3 Britton Rd Bellingham Weather Station: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KWABELLI103?cm_ven=localwx_pwsdash Link to post Share on other sites

This kind of reminds me of last year around late March early April when the pandemic knocked out nearly all the model data from airplanes. The models were complete garbage, GFS and Euro often looked completely different 3 days out, it was crazy.

TT-SEA 3620 Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 It seems like the 18Z GFS is trying to go towards the ECMWF solution of keeping the trough up near Alaska later next week instead of absorbing into the trough over the PNW.

How many of you are considering a move in the next few years, and if you are, how big of a factor is the climate where you currently are? I hate the lack of extremes here in Seattle's climate. Yes, there are rare instances like February 2019, 5/28/10, and 7/29/09 where we can get extreme weather, but it's a much rarer occurrence than what the rest of the country experiences. I've floated the idea of Boston around in my head for its variability, and to be honest, if I do end up within the government at the NWS, it may not be up to me to choose where I live. It could be in Fairbanks for all I know. Despite all this, I can not envision a scenario in which I pick up my life and place it hundreds or thousands of miles away, at least willingly and outside of a job requirement. I just can't abandon all my friends and family, all of which whom live in the PNW from Vancouver, to Eugene, to Boise, and of course Seattle and its surrounding suburbs. I have a stable, relatively happy life here, and I can always storm chase in my spare time. Another thing that keeps me here, something is often overlooked in the discussion of our climate, is its palatability. The winters are a moody, surprisingly lively, brisk time of year with an overcast sky that has grown on me over the course of my life here. The summers are seasonable and temperate so that outdoor recreation remains comfortable year round, yet temperatures frequently warm enough to sunbathe and swim. It really is a mostly "perfect" climate. That and the fresh air, world class tap water, nearby skiing, fresh seafood, natural scenic beauty, and mostly uncorrupt government. I'll survive not seeing as much snow. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
