How does Vashon Island do for snow compared to other areas in western Wa? Can’t remember a poster being from their

Yeah, perhaps not. I do think such an event would break modern infrastructure. I think there's little chance we repeat that even this winter

more accurate than GPT

1861-62's flooding was definitely extremely northern stream driven. San Francisco had 24" of rain in January 1862 while we froze. Bear in mind that month was about 8F colder here than January 1950 and over 12F colder than any 20th century January at Fort Walla Walla. Sacramento had significant snow at the valley floor, and the Sierras had insane amounts of snow with the occasional warm front to induce the rapid snowmelts when the southern stream energy poked its head in. Probably not a situation that we will be repeating anytime soon.

Currently 78F with a dewpoint of 65F, where did this high humidity came from?
