As for temperatures, it's been refreshing to see deep Arctic air in December not immediately answered by torching. Got pretty used to that since 2012. This has been the coolest winter up this way since 2016-17, and even that winter torched hard in November. The one warm month this Sept-Feb wet season (Nov) just edged mild, not very torchy. La Niña has lived up to its name here. Definitely a Nina-like cold season here.

It gets worse every year. Looks like EUG is about -3.28” for the water year as of yesterday which isn’t as bad as some recent years at least hopefully we can make a dent in it this spring would only take a couple patterns like this to catch up Quote Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 10 hours ago, snow_wizard said: For sure. This is the big SSW we've been waiting for. I would have to call this a pretty solid winter if we get another round of significant cold in the next couple of weeks. About as good as you can get without January contributing anything in most locations. Might not be a full fledged SSW (need u-wind reversal @ 60N for that). But given the timing and structure of the w-2 response it will affect the MJO/tropospheric circulation and begin the seasonal transition in regional wavetrains. Gonna be a cold period for the West-Central US and possibly the majority of the CONUS. 1 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess that is the way it will show up in the record books. Kinda like saying that Redding has a wetter climate than Seattle... if you use the city of Redding rather than the airport, this is most likely true in terms of annual precip, but no one who has lived in both places will tell you with a straight face that Seattle feels less rainy.

Number of rain days per month/year is a very relevant stat. I always use the 'days with rain' metric to gauge a month against my personal preferences... and its been a good month in that regard. I enjoy getting tons of rain in a hurry while still having lots of sunny days. But there is also the overriding precip anomaly statistic in the background and we have been exceedingly wet overall this fall and winter season up here so we have no debt owed in terms of rain. August 2015 in a good example of excessive rain falling during a very sunny month. That is one of the wettest Augusts ever up here but was still a very sunny and warm month as well. Best of both worlds for me.

TT-SEA Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 12Z ECMWF looks much more zonal at the end compared to the 00Z run as the ridge pinches off and heads to the arctic. 12Z GFS went that way as well in the long range.
