There was some lowland snow this next week in both years!!! Alas, no such luck this go around. Oh well.

I can take comfort that 1981 and 2005 remain easily the top tier benchmarks for early season warm waves. Both of these still solidly in inversion season! 1/20-1/22, 1981: SEA hit 64 on 1/20 and rattles off three straight 60+ days. 1/18-19, 2005: PDX hit 66 on 1/18 and OLM hit 64 the next day

Best it's looked at this range in a while.

That 58 today at Bellingham says otherwise. It was a quite seasonal 50/31 on this date there in 1992. I'm starting to sense some real discomfort from you as you face the reality of the season that's befallen us. It's seemingly been much tougher for you to accept than it has for many of us.

Still the only westside station that's in 1st place. If that's not an outlier, I'm not sure what is.
