SilverFallsAndrew Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Looks like Crater Lake headquarters had just over 150" of snow in December. Well behind the 191" they had during the record setting December 2015, but still about 60" above the long term average. They did this with precip that was pretty much exactly normal. Warmest day was the 2nd with a high of 57, coldest day was 12/27 with a 15/9 spread. Temps were about normal with a -0.4F departure. 2 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!

Brian_in_Leavenworth Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 1 hour ago, joelgombiner said: I've been thinking about the GFS and snow forecasts in Puget Sound. The GFS sees a very smoothed-out version of our topography. The base resolution is 18 miles, meaning that each square 18 miles x 18 miles is represented with one elevation value. This results in some huge distortions for a state like Washington with very rough mountains. Look at how the GFS sees the Cascades in Washington. There's a strip of high topography (represented by reds) cross-cut by two valleys: the Columbia Gorge (along the Oregon-Washington border), and a valley that I've circled in red. This area represents the Snoqualmie River valley, and the Yakima River Valleys where they cross the Cascades. Compare the GFS topography to the real topography. I've roughly circled the same area on a high-resolution map of topography. In reality, there is no smooth and wide valley across the Cascades. You know this if you've driven I-90. While there are smooth and wide sections, other areas, such as the approach to Snoqualmie Pass are in narrow, winding valleys. This is important for how low-level air flows across the landscape. I think we saw the problem with this representation of topography last Sunday. An Arctic high had built into the Columbia Basin, with bitterly cold air and high pressures around 1024 mb MSLP to the east of the Cascades. At the same time, Pacific air with lower pressures around 1010 mb MSLP had moved in west of the Cascades. I suspect the GFS modeled too much of the Arctic air pouring across the Cascades, because its version of the topography has an unrealistically wide valley along the I-90 corridor. In reality, air had a harder time moving through the narrow, winding valleys that characterize the true topography. One way to keep track of this problem is to look at Yakima-Seattle pressure gradients and temperature gradients. As those gradients get higher, this topography problem should result in increasing distortions in GFS predictions for areas around King County. Thoughts? That's exactly what is said in this column by a guy with a PhD. So looks like you nailed it, well done! https://theconvergencezone.com/2022/01/03/why-did-most-weather-models-incorrectly-predict-snow-in-seattle-on-sunday-night/ 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser outflow is always late to the party but this is also going to have some offshore flow to help dry out the lower layers of air. The last shower over me was mostly rain so I'm loosing confidence. The flow is turning and Bellingham is down to 30. 2 Quote We come from the land of the ice and snow.

Thurston Howell III Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 I will say in all my years of driving the roads may have been about the worst this morning. Definitely should not have taken the usual backroads to work from Gig Harbor to Manchester. Winding hilly roads and not to far from the sound, but usually a few minutes quicker. 35 degrees and roads were mostly bare and a little bit of slushy snow at my place but within a mile from my house it was pretty bad and only got worse. Looks like the most snow from last night was probably an inch or less, and the black ice was insane. Looked at doppler and it showed rain for an hour or so after it snowed earlier. The black ice seemed to be fairly thick from the freezing rain. The local "Banner jump" area was insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
