  1. Sorry about that Jay! I’m sure you’ll land a better opportunity quickly.
  2. We most certainly have seen this before! 100+ in the Pacific Northwest occurs many years if not most. Climate change is relevant but remember there is a difference between weather and climate. That said, CC is an enhancer, not a driver. I’ll search for some anomalies to compare and hopefully Will has it in his files...lol.
  3. You should limit these kinds of posts to the appropriate climate change sub forum. And while I acknowledge climate change, understand that these patterns existed 200 years ago. Just because it changed in our lifetimes doesn’t mean it didn’t before. I’m for doing all we can to prevent it but I also think we should be truthful about things.
  4. And so we don’t broad brush good or bad...here’s the map as the SNE signature blizzard of the 20th century was unfolding....
  5. Incidentally as long as we’re talking other seasons 77-78 was stormy in the west..LA had something like 32 inches of rain (normal annual is 14). I also recall some cold spells. RNA or the never ending Pineapple Express?
  6. Frustrating to see the “good” pattern get kicked down the road and the “fair” pattern not producing yet. The rhetoric here reminds me of the first part of January 2015.
  7. I know. But reading your post it seemed like outside of the Olympics it doesn’t snow much. Seattle isn’t on the ocean either but the flow goes through the pass and San Juan islands down into Puget Sound. But the way I read your post WA otherwise doesn’t get much snow outside of the Olympics. It seems like you were confining the area to the Olympic peninsula and coastal plain areas west of the cascades?
  8. December is preferable but March is more likely. And once snow chances end here we have to endure spring. I’m planning to escape to warmth for a week or 2 in March
  9. I remember it! The first serious dump (widespread 6-12) that year. Then we had some OES and didnt Weymouth get 18-24 total?
  10. Paradise Ranger Station (which I visited in June 1990) begs to differ. To thnk the Cascades don’t get too much snow is to not know the area at all.
  11. Its the near term first system that is a rain event for most in SNE that we can substantially thank.
  12. It’s impressive but it far from unprecedented. Remember you have many stations >7k in elevation in the west. Mammoth Mtn had a 31 foot base by late winter 1977-78. Oh and sne did quite well at the same time. Signature 20th century blizzard for Boston to providence.
  13. Or....you’re an uber weenie and can work from anywhere. But there s not much going on for young people in Aroostook County.
  14. NAO positive talk brings relief to some of our NNE posters..
