TT-SEA Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I would gladly take long, glorious, warm summers over a slightly better chance of our short-lived snow events in the winter. No comparison. One brings fun for months and the other brings fun for a few days at best.

Phil Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hopefully there is a shake up later this month that opens the door for us. I was originally thinking around New Years, but I know you favor something probably a little later.Yeah, unfortunately we'll need to wait until early/mid January for the next round of (attempted) North Pacific wave breaking. That's the next timeframe to watch. The question is whether or not this will actually represent and/or initiate the rapid large scale transition to a -NAM by the second half of January, or whether the strong +QBO/PV wins again and the transition to a -NAM takes until February (in which case winter is largely over for you guys). Going to interesting to watch, regardless of the outcome.

ShawniganLake Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I had between 3 and 4 feet on the ground in 2008. I used to be able to get 2-3' of snow much more easily in the 90's. The last snow event I had, which also happened to give me over a foot, was in Jan 2012. Before that 2010 or 2011 gave me a couple inches. Maybe in total I got close to 6" in 2011 or so. i got an inch last year. 2009 was pretty bad.Lots of micro climates and always major snow variability in the PNW. 3 of the 4 biggest snow events in my lifetime have occurred in the last 10 years. Dec 2008, Nov 2006, Jan 2005, Dec 1996. I was too young to remember Nov 1985, but it looks like that would have ended up 5th in terms of maximum depth. *Edit. Actually thinking about it, The snow depth here in Feb 2014 was greater than any event in the 90's with the exception of Dec 1996. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Winterdog Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Had a low of 23F this morning. Arlington hit 21F. It sure was nice late last night with the moonlight putting shadows on the frost and not a breeze in the air.

Jesse Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Looking like the first week of December has the potential to be active with some shots of mountain snow, at very least.Maybe we can get into a pattern where the immediate west coast is close enough to the mean trough position that we can still score some cool anoms while the majority of the country roasts (an extreme example of this would be March 2012). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuffradio Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Expecting anything less than record warmth every month is sheer insanity. I will grant you that. What he's doing is more equivalent to acting surprised about temps trending towards climo. Apples to oranges comparison.It's the rain, not the temps. Plus, I have some outdoor project that is very close to being done, but the rain is making it hard. I'll TRY to stop complaining about all the rain. The good thing is that this is the wettest month of the year on average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, Astronomical winter to June is my favorite time of the year. Even if it's raining during that time, I know every day is growing in length, and every day is a step closer to signs of plant life. February or March is when the Frogs start croaking, and in late March or April there is a strong fragrance of flowers during or just after a rain has happened.

Jesse Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Which is probably why you love the rain and I complain about it. I would assert that the last half of the year is actually drier for the most part. November/December are usually really wet so that throws off the overall average but July-mid October are fairly dry. January through June on the other hand may not have as much absolute precip, but it is much more spread out over all of those months. Although I will admit I do like the flowery fragrance surrounding rainy periods in the mid-Spring. Who said I loved the rain anyway? I think cool, clear periods like this are great too. Some balance is nice. Both in precipitation and temperatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
