snow_wizard Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 6 minutes ago, Jginmartini said: East wind is a tricky friend to have….it is what it is Indeed. My saying for it here is...less is more. When it just seeps in it can do great things for us. The other time it works is if it blasts in for a while and then quits when the moisture arrives. The most satisfying moment last February was when the easterly breeze held on just enough to keep us below freezing after the snowstorm while places just west of here got to nearly 40 and everything turned to mush. At that same time we got 2 inches of snow from an Arctic boundary that set up here. There is often a consolation prize involved with these things. 2 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

Dry air flooding in from the east is what made that snowfall work. I've also talked about January 1, 2004 a few times. A really interesting situation happened in January 1977 also. Landsburg and places around here had just the right amount of seepage to make that a much colder month here than pretty much anywhere else in Western WA. Landsburg had a monthly average of 32 that month, while SEA was just a tad below normal. 1 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!
