Interesting, it must have been 1989, the lady names the kids in the picture, and I know one of them is the same age as me, and he looks about 5 in the picture... That few hundred feet difference between Drakes Crossing and South Falls must have made the difference that time. Also, I think that was 1988. We had a bunch of chunky rain right around Thanksgiving that year. 3 Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about Oregon, but this was a major and long lasting cold event with quite a few different snowfalls spread out region wide. 1981 could be between Christmas and New Years. We seemed to have a few years during in the early 80s with snow during that time frame. But I can't remember which years exactly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't remember which years exactly. 1985 would have definitely been a white Thanksgiving up here, I think the bigger willamette valley snows were early December, but our area would have gotten 6-10” a few days before Thanksgiving. I’ll have to check December 81’, I know January 1982 got cold. There was a big snow event up here in December 1980, the rest of that winter was pretty awful though. 1 Quote Snowfall Precip 2022-23: 95.0" 2022-23: 17.39" 2021-22: 52.6" 2021-22: 91.46" 2020-21: 12.0" 2020-21: 71.59" 2019-20: 23.5" 2019-20: 58.54" 2018-19: 63.5" 2018-19: 66.33" 2017-18: 30.3" 2017-18: 59.83" 2016-17: 49.2" 2016-17: 97.58" 2015-16: 11.75" 2015-16: 68.67" 2014-15: 3.5" 2013-14: 11.75" 2013-14: 62.30 2012-13: 16.75" 2012-13: 78.45 2011-12: 98.5" 2011-12: 92.67" It's always sunny at Winters Hill!

Also the -NAO helps keep the high arctic cold, effectively shutting off cyclonic warm advection from the NATL. The majority of winters since the 1990s have had the opposite DJF pattern (+NAO), and it has hurt the ice pack/drawn in lots of warm water. This reversal (even if temporary) is a joy to see. 1 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua Lake Oswego Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Guys, what if I told you that Thursday/Friday's rain is trending north? Would that be surprising to you? It's the opposite for me. The 18z HRRR, 18Z ICON, 18z NAM, and 18z high-def GEM all agree. Olympia and Tacoma will probably be the big winners. Portland is on the far southern periphery of making out ok right now. You, me, and the mailman all know that Oregon will get left out again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow it still does rain at PDX given that station is over 2 inches above normal half way through the month. Do you need more than 200% of normal precip to be satisfied?
