Meatyorologist Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 At KSEA the February and March imprint is made known on the recent upgrade to 1991-2020 normals.

Meatyorologist Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Shifting the 30yr running mean ahead by a year (1992-2021), and we see that August and January warmed by an additional 0.2°F. This is despite both months being colder than their 2020 predecessors. This makes sense since both months have been notorious for excessive torching over the last 10-15 years, this last year being no exception (as it stands 2022 is following the Jan transcript too, unfortunately.) Unsurprisingly, 2021 dropped Dec by 0.2°F. 2021 was 0.9°F cooler overall than 2020, yet still 0.5°F above the 30 year mean. The statistical oddities start showing up however during that magical, offputtingly excellent second month of the year. February, given the mid month cold snap and -2.7°F departure, actually cooled the running mean by an additional 0.2°F. This means that as it currently stands, the newest February 30 year running average is cooler than the one 31 years ago by 0.1°F. Amazingly, given the current -ENSO and improving guidance for an impending cooler than average February, this anomaly could drop further. To add to this insanity, if March ends up cooler than usual (likely given -ENSO), March could drop its 30 year running average down to the 1981-2010 mean or even colder. For the record, while the running average for March didn't budge, Mar 2021 was 0.8°F cooler than normal, so this is just an artifact of rounding. 6 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatyorologist Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Made some charts to visualize annual change in running mean over the last half century or so. Some takeaways: -December averages rose until the 1961-90 running mean, then hit a brick wall. Decembers of 1990, 1998, 2008, 2009, and 2021 doing their part. -BIG YIKES for January! It's just straight up lost the plot at this point. Warmer than February by a significant margin. On its way to catch up to December! It doesn't help that the first 40 inputs are boosted by the January-happy late 40s through 60s, but still, January has been outright abysmal since the 70s, with few exceptions. -February has just stalled since, well, ever... at least at SeaTac. I could try this with the DT Federal building and see how cold it is before 1945. But at least in terms of SeaTac's history with February, it's been perplexingly stable. Arguably indistinguishable from POR's with the 1950s in them. If you showed this month to someone out of context, they wouldn't even know AGW existed. -Normal and expected AGW-forced warming expressed in rolling averages over the Spring, growing more pronounced as the season goes on. March does hit a similar brick wall around 1961-90 like December, though the upwards movement is still more pronounced. April almost succumbs to that wall, but it's showing signs of warming in recent years. May is upwards, full stop. -It's getting warming in the Summer. Who'da thunk! Very stable warming too. June took some time to get going, but it's gotten its act together since the beginning of the 2010s. July and August traded places for warmest month in the 1961-90 package and it's been that way ever since. Huh... 1961-90... that POR keeps coming up. Interesting. -Slow and steady warming in the Fall. Nothing notable, except for how drastic the changing seasons are around here. Man that is a huge spread. 3 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both 1986-87 and 1987-1988 held snowcover from December through January. December 2015 was snowier than average. February to March 2019 was colder and snowier than average. Enso is a bit overrated in my humble opinion. Two out of the 3 winter months had its best in a Nino during my time in K-Falls unless you count November and March as part of the meteorological season, then 3 out of those 5 had good ones usually out of a Nina. The best of each I had in recent times. Nov 2010 Dec 2015 Jan 2017 Feb 2019 Mar 2012 I was also affected by the trend of late winters, first half hasn't had significant snowfall in several years down there. Nov 2019 totaled 6.5" (only 50% over average) yet was the best one since 2010. November easily can go broke, I've seen a handful with close to no measurable snow. I guess one thing La Nina is actually good at doing is front loading a winter, not many other patterns do that well. 2 Quote Ashland, KY Weather '23-'24 Winter Snowfall - 5.50" First freeze: 11/1 (32) Minimum: 2 on 1/17 Measurable snows: 4 Max 1 day snow: 3" (1/19) Thunders: 16 1/27, 1/28, 2/10, 2/22, 2/27, 2/28, 3/5, 3/6, 3/14, 3/15 3/26, 3/30, 3/31, 4/2, 4/3, 4/8, Severe storms: 2 ------------------------------------------------------- [Klamath Falls, OR 2010 to 2021] https://imgur.com/SuGTijl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if it matters... but 2011 stayed in a Nina state and the following winter was also a Nina.

That climb in January average temperatures is astounding. I just don't see why January would warm so much while February (and December to a lesser extent) stay cool. If anything, due to the maritime climate, sun angles, and a touch of seasonal lag, January should stay our coldest month of the year. And even if La Niña's tend to have the flip switched later in the winter there's no reason we should be experiencing more of them in a warming climate. I wonder if it's truly down to luck or if there's something else at play that has become dominant for our Januaries. 4 Quote Home Wx Station Stats (Since January 2008): Max Temp: 96.3F (2009) Min Temp: 2.0F (2008) Max Wind Gust: 45 mph (2018, 2021) Wettest Day: 2.34 (11/4/22) Avg Yearly Precip: 37" 10yr Avg Snow: 8.0" Snowfall Totals '08-09: 30" | '09-10: 0.5" | '10-11: 21" | '11-12: 9.5" | '12-13: 0.2" | '13-14: 6.2" | '14-15: 0.0" | '15-16: 0.25"| '16-17: 8.0" | '17-18: 0.9"| '18-19: 11.5" | '19-20: 11" | '20-21: 10.5" | '21-22: 21.75" | '22-23: 10.0" 2023-24: 7.0" (1/17: 3", 1/18: 1.5", 2/26: 0.5", 3/4: 2.0", Flakes: 1/11, 1/16) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost seems like something else is at work. A colder than average January has been very difficult to achieve over the last 15 years or so.

Actually Summers 2013-2016 we all amazing here for thunderstorms. That rare stretch in May 2013 where I had 5 t'storm days in a row is hard to come by. A similar one happened in July 2015 and those were rather wetting storms. Seems most of the dry types happen in June for some odd reason, then they get heavy in nature by mid summer.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 The January 2020 event was actually pretty decent down here, I dumped on it way more than I should have. Probably due to the fact we were just coming off of February 2019, also the models backed off so much, there was no sticking snow below 1000', etc... But it was still probably our 3rd best snow event in January in 11 years. We had about 10", that January overall was pretty putrid. 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!

SilverFallsAndrew Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Seems like there will be a pattern change towards the end of the month, I don't think at least the initial pattern change will all to earth shattering, but my guess is things start trending cooler and wetter to close out the month. 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!
