snow_wizard Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 28 minutes ago, Tibster13 said: Ok here’s my once a year post! Reporting from White Salmon, WA. Always found the weather forecasting here to be really tough to pin down, as the NWS out of Portland tends to focus on Hood River and the western gorge, and the NWS out of Pendleton is always a blanket ‘East slopes of the cascades.’ I’m basically right across the Columbia River from Hood River, but higher up. I think I technically fall under the Pendleton office, but we’re right on the border of their forecasting areas. For just a quick example, we had no WWA or WSW leading up to this, and they only recently added a WWA for an additional 2” at 9am. Id guess what makes the area tough to forecast is White Salmon essentially sits on top of a cliff side along the gorge. I’m at about 900’ but the elevation quickly increases the more towards Adams you go. Most model maps really struggle to show the difference between what’s going on along the river and what’s happening a quarter mile off of it up the hill. I don’t have any temps or semi-official measurements to give you all so I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves. Been a wild 9 hours and doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon. yay snow! Excellent idea keeping the windshield wipers up. Going to do that from now on when it snows. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

My dad has missed a couple important doctor appointments in the last week and they are finally able to get out. That is a relief for me. That's a bummer, if it wasn't for the Covid risk I suppose I could have tried to help get them there, as I was off work most of the week. I didn't have any issue motoring around in that little black car, even had to plow my way out of the neighborhood after the 6" last Thursday night. It's always fun having snow come up over the hood! The snow tires/steel rims for that car was money well spent!

joelgombiner Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 One thing I noticed is that the surface winds yesterday were very erratic in the central Puget Sound. Winds would switch from calm, to gusty, and then back to calm again, and blew from pretty much every direction imaginable. It must have been a very complex situation that was difficult to model numerically. 5 Quote Useful weather links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
