Front Ranger Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Below the new normal is pretty meaningless. None of them have even approached being what we are long overdue for. Also...I was referencing our recent string of torchy months as opposed to recent Januaries. They were below the long term normal, entire station record. Of course, we all know a big/very cold January is way overdue. Quote A forum for the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deweydog Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 It was a pretty significant event. Even some places that didn't have serious flooding saw impressive 24 hour totals.

TT-SEA Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 At least the absurdly warm air mass has mostly not mixed down to the surface this month. Good chance we avoid a top tier warm Jan the way it looks right now. Talk about lowering standards! 56 here right now at 8 p.m. with a star-filled sky and an east wind. Same down in the valley in North Bend. Too bad for you that mucky, polluted cold is preferable. Silly stats over more tangibly enjoyable weather.

snow_wizard Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 At 11pm SEA was the coldest station for the Central Puget Sound with a temp of 35. Something you don't see very often. That will actually put SEA at a -1 departure for the day. Considering what a huge torch this week could have been I'll take what we have gotten. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!
