I thought phase 7 was good for us? Yet this winter has sucked.

E-IO/Maritime continent is your winter goldilocks zone. Phase-7/WPAC gets iffy at times. And in the summer it often leads to a blowtorch.

Jim says it good. This winter could be worse though almost everyone scored! Just wasn’t on the same level south of Tacoma. Still time too only mid January. 

Yeah, everyone did score. It's all relative. In the valley getting some snow makes the winter, up here we need multiple events. The good thing up here is we can score well into April, in the valley it's pretty much over by late February.

Oh I’m sure you’ll see more another event or two. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

48F and mostly cloudy.

February 6th @Meatyorologist

What happens then or what would you like to happen?

Some type of snow event…not as long lasting or deep as last time but something atleast. I think this winters got one more event left but we will see.

Let it happen a day before - that's my birthday!

Haven’t been checking until now but SEA broke daily rainfall twice already this month. 2.00” on the 6th and 1.70” yesterday. Now well over 6” for the month and we’re not even 2 weeks in. 

[TT-SEA]

Still some snow left here despite a night a breezy, warm, rainy night.  

ECMWF shows the rain lifting north of the Seattle area by late morning so this afternoon should be basically dry.

Snowpack would disagree

Played 4 years of college ball at WOU (BACK then it was WOSC). Had offers from all of the smaller schools 

Came from a smaller town (Stayton) and it was certainly more difficult to get "noticed," although playing in Salem during the summer was better exposure.

Never drafted (not much demand for a 5' 9" left hander that could hit but lacking speed to play outfield) but had an opportunity to play professionally in Australia. D**n girlfriend at the time, convinced me to not go as it was a two year contract with an off season job coaching at a national academy.

My advice today would be to look at the JC route if your not getting offers. College teammate's son did that and is now pitching for OSU.

It doesn’t get much uglier than this, folks.

I have a friend that played in Aussie. He said it was a cool experience.

Definitely think JC is the way to go as well. Some of the better programs in the region (Bellevue, Edmonds, Everett, Lower Columbia, Mt. Hood, Lane etc) have great connections to 4-year schools and send dudes all over the country. Plus, you save so much money going that route.

Some trolling going on Fox 12, the news anchors are letting the meteorologist know that it gets below freezing in Minnesota.

Was just looking at this. Horrific. Snow pack isn't going to be looking so good by months end. 

[Blizzard777]

6.62 inches of rain and it’s only the 12th …..just one depressing wow. 
Way to go January.   Still raining .24 overnight and 50s is the new 20s.  It was so easy a few weeks ago  

 

[TT-SEA]

Somehow the snow is still hanging on!   First pic is the peak last Monday and then right now.

If it weren’t a La Niña year we’d be pretty screwed...

Thankfully December was kind to the west. Currently, the entirety of Oregon+Washington’s snowpack regions are above the 1991-2020 normal. Similar to the 1971-2000 normal.

La Niña pattern configurations overwhelmingly get locked in in February-May during -ENSO wet seasons, sometimes well beyond that.

If it were +ENSO, alongside a bad snowpack situation, well... Let’s just leave that thinking for Jan 2023 Aidan.

On Tim/66666 watch now.

Evidently that is 'the Angel number'.

That is 50,000 higher than reality... Fred adjusted it.  

[jakerepp]

Anyways, 52.7, but just .20'' in the bucket in the last 24 hours. Was shadowed for much of the night.

Kind of shocked you got that COLD. Looks like we bottomed out at 48.

Finally got house plans engineered and approved. Picked a bad time to build but whatever I guess. Can only afford to do foundation done this year then framing following year.  Here it is. It was a plan I found and we just made some changes.  I really like the concrete pad around the house. Added pic of where it will be built.

This is for your place out in Eastern Washington?

The pursuit of a dream always exciting regardless of the money !!!  Looking forward to watching this unfold.  Beautiful house and excited for you

Thanks man, been a dream for 30 years, God I wish my wife could of been here for it.  When I found out she had cancer I built our little cabin as fast as I could so she could at least enjoy that. I better stop talking about it, just kills me.

Yes that's my property where house will be. We got so lucky finding it, 160 acres bordering national forest on 3 sides for 150k was a steal.  Property value has trippled there in 4 years.

Got snakes that high up? They will love all that concrete in the evening

I haven't noticed any. It's 4k feet there so maybe there just not there?
