My body and mind is ready to leave “winter” (a week’s worth? Lmaooo) behind. Part of me wants a couple weeks of NW flow. Best time of the year to take advantage of it and I've gotten barely any use out of my ski pass. The other part of me is ready for warmer temps and sunshine. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is nothing personally enjoyable about cold rain in the dead of winter, IMO. Save that s**t for the autumn months. I’m sure I’ll be torn to shreds over this, but whatever. I guess it's because the dynamics for cold rain here are basically climo. Without raging southerly flow or a decent Arctic airmass, it will pretty much always precipitate cold rain here in the PNW. Where you live cold rain is associated with snow either immediately to your north, or immediately above your head. Snow in those situations is a tangible, realizable threat. Here in the PNW we won't really think of cold rain in terms of "oh, snow is immediately above me!" It's just climo; it is the way it is. We aren't "missing out" on as much as you do when it's raining and 40°F. That's just the general nature of a continental vs temperate climate. The dynamics of rain vs snow are basically "boom or bust", rarely in between, at least here at sea level where we miss out on most marginal events. "Cold rain" is dynamically so different between our two climates that comparing them is a stupid game. Zonal flow here is just climo, but especially ecologically beneficial. Hard to convey that difference. 8 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...

SilverFallsAndrew Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 My brother hit 76 in Coquille today, he's been in the 70s for several days. Said he talked to the head of the county fire protection agency (He works for the county.), and he said it was in the low 80s up the Sixes River drainage and they had to go put down a small forest fire today. Apparently it was from a slash pile that had burned back in the late fall and was still smoldering. It dried up enough the embers ignited a brush fire. Again this is the Southern Oregon coast in February. 1 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!

From San Gorgonio and San Jacinto. That area has enough water flowing down from the mountains they don't really have to rely on out sourcing too much. ETA, There is also White Water near by, plus with the San Andreas there are spots with sag ponds and geothermal springs all in the area. Hence Desert Hot Springs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLI snowman Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 February 12 is snowstorm day. Three separate 6"+ snowstorms on this day here in the last few decades (1990, 1995, 2021). No such luck today, so I went to the closest snow I could find and hiked up Silver Star Mountain. Still a couple feet iced over on much of the trail, so definitely needed the poles and microspikes. But there were still a number of surprisingly elevated clear areas where it was more exposed to the sun, even up at the top. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
