We were there a couple weeks ago and they were just budding at that time. And they look more than half alive. 1 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to post Share on other sites

On a short related story, if I remember correctly, a couple years ago Ifred was tracking a storm and driving south to north and posted that he was stopping at Beth’s Cafe in seattle.

snow_wizard 11637 Posted Sunday at 08:25 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 08:25 AM I was just looking through my records for the winter 2016-17, and it just blows my mind how consistently cold that winter was.

Meatyorologist 1998 Posted Sunday at 10:46 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 10:46 AM The forum seems dead tonight, which makes sense as we are entering the most meteorologically boring time of the year (March-April) outside of early-mid Fall, in the wake of a fairly major Arctic event. Fortunately, it won't be long before we're peering at the models for nocturnal thunderstorms and heat waves! Just around two months before the jet stream begins to shut down and the four-corners high establishes itself. And for you winter weather nuts, just a single month on the day away from the decrease in our rate of day growth, signaling the very first ominous signs of the inevitable change in seasons after the solstice in June. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is just a small list of years that had more snow at Snoqualmie Pass at this point in the winter since 1928. Those years include 1932, 1946, 1949, 1956, 1964, 1999.

Can't say for sure, except that stronger cold fronts tend to generate more of a westerly dynamic and an elongated trough of low pressure while weaker fronts have less in the way of pressure falls/rises and can allow south winds to surface along an existing southerly pressure gradient. Pretty strong latitudinal gradient today from 1036mb in southern OR to 977mb near Juneau. Looks like an atmospheric river into central coastal BC. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And there's usually around a 4-6 month lag. Depends on the timescale you’re looking at. It’s true that ENSO is the most prominent driver from year to year, but intraseasonal forcings dominate from month to month. I guess we’ll see what ultimately happens. I suspect we’ll see global temps increase somewhat later this month, into March. 1 Quote 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 post Share on other sites

Fortunately, it won't be long before we're peering at the models for nocturnal thunderstorms and heat waves! Just around two months before the jet stream begins to shut down and the four-corners high establishes itself. And for you winter weather nuts, just a single month on the day away from the decrease in our rate of day growth, signaling the very first ominous signs of the inevitable change in seasons after the solstice in June. There are still some cold weather opportunities coming up. In general I agree that most of March and April are pretty bad here though. An exception would be years like 1949, 1951, 1975 and some others that had quick hitting cold troughs and lots of sunshine / abnormally cold nights. 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

Those are some of the annoying non-native species that will stay half alive and bloom all winter if things stay mild enough. Out neighbor has a bush that blooms only during the cold season. It takes a very hard freeze to freeze the blossoms off. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

There have been some days that came dangerously close to braking it, but it somehow managed to thread the needle and become a very respectable run. 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

TT-SEA 3622 Posted Sunday at 06:50 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 06:50 PM The SSTA map continues to look very close to this same time in 2018. I expect a very wet April. 2/19/2018 on top and 2/19/2021 on the bottom... 1 2 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to post Share on other sites
