The one thing I vividly remember from Feb '89 was the steam coming off Possession Sound along the Mukilteo waterfront I have never seen that since. It had to be a 40-50 degree diff in water vs air temp. Also it was such a long cold sunny arctic airmass after the snow stopped. Would love to witness that just once more in this lifetime.

I remember standing outside slack jawed with snow falling sideways and a temp of 14 degrees at 2pm.

SEA is projected to be top 3 all-time wet Nov. by the time the month is over behind 2006 and 1998. The next week will see it climb the ladder even though as wet as it's been, currently sitting at #14.

1998....yet ANOTHER YEAR we had a blast.  Pretty much every year that has been thrown out there lately has been one where we had a major blast.

That was a great blast... But not the most exciting winter. Personal preference, but I would prefer like half a dozen minor events to one big blast.

I think February 1989 was pretty much a direct connect. It was insane how much overwater trajectory there was with that behemoth.  

I still remember everything freezing up in the afternoon while we were still in the maritime polar part of that.  I'll bet 850s probably dropped to -12 or so before the blast was even close.

I kind of agree when it comes to December 1998.  December 1924 on the other hand...

Well... Yeah... If we had something like December 1924 I would be okay with a torch the rest of the way.

This actually ended up being another reasonably chilly day.  Only 47 / 34 here.  This past week has been consistently cooler than model projections.

FWIW... the ECMWF actually showed a high of 45 at SEA today.

The models still show the key moment in the pattern evolution being about a week out when the GOA trough split happens.  The runs that split it evenly seem to work out the best.

Flash freeze! I believe that was the day a lot of people were walking home on I-5.
 

And highs in the teens a few days later. Yum!

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Well this sucks.   I am not saying a word about anything other than the current weather observations a little about shorter term flooding potential coming up again.      And patiently waiting to post snow maps when the big stuff gets close!

Yeah....Feb 1989 is forever burned into my mind....and probably yours too.

Onshore flow at the coast with temps in the upper 20’s. That just doesn’t happen. Then followed by 51 hours of sub-20 degree weather at KAST.

Not quite as bent as 116 degrees at PDX, but close.

For the record... I would bet money on something very memorable happening in December in terms of cold and snow.  I think Matt is right there too.   I just think it might be in the second half of December... which will make it even more memorable.

I remember the wind howling and cackling. The snow pellets kept hitting me in the face. I remember how they stung. We were well below zero with winds gusting to 40+. Good stuff.

It has to happen. I was told it has to happen and it will.
