Only thing missing is the 80F water temps and the afternoon pop up thunderstorms

Yeah, I think you and @SouthHillFrosty were the absolute bullseye under 400'. Definitely a noteworthy and impressive event in the context of March and especially in the context of this putrid winter, but from a regional context I'm not sure how much weight to put into such a localized event. And Jared keeps implying Seattle got nailed when the majority of the city had like 1" or less. So you still had a very large majority of the lowlands with little to no measurable snow this season, including the official stations up north where that sort of thing is comparatively rare.

We could've easily seen multiple major snowstorms this winter. There were like 4-5 chances. All of them flopped in the snow department. If even one of them worked out for Portland or Vancouver, people would be changing their tune very quickly.

Nah, there was more cold/snow in February and March (of 2024). It wasn't bad. Just because the usual lowland areas get screwed doesn't mean the winter sucks. Most metro areas just sucks and get lucky if they're lucky.

That's the thing about the PNW lowlands, though. Only takes a few days each winter to distinguish a winter from complete dud status.
