powderfreak Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 MVL made 33F...though I didn't see any frost locally. Was nice to see my car thermometer at 36F though when I left at 7:30am. Rose to 44F at 1,500ft as the ski area base always stays well mixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 HIE took first place for our coop report this morning, 31. But I'm sure, like Alex's obs show, that the Maple Hollow section of the GYX CWA probably slipped down to 30 or 29. Edit: which was 30 itself last night...

dendrite Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 SLK with 28F. I like clicking the p&c's out there and seeing all the 33F forecasted lows. Then you click directly on the airport and get a 28F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 1st raindrops since early on August 23, finished with 1.29" in about 12 hours - just what was wanted. Saturday's 32 did no damage in the garden, which lies slightly higher than the thermometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I upgraded to the Mavic Pro drone and took a maiden flight and I definitely love it. It is much easier to fly and much quieter than the old P3 workhorse. Obviously there are many other nice features to be explored. I look forward to foliage flights with it.

tamarack Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 September is now up to 3.40", in one week becoming the wettest month since May. Another 2.5" would make it the wettest since June 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hail though. Yeah there was a solid pulse of wind here too (35 mph or so). Not sure how much rain we got but it could have been a quick .5 or so.

J.Spin Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 September is moving right along, so I figured I should get out the August and year-to-date numbers for liquid before it gets too late: August liquid: 3.06” 2017 liquid: 40.75” Rainfall has continued to slow down relative to the beginning of the summer, and combined with the generally comfortable temperatures, that made for quite a number of great August days. August liquid was actually more than an inch below average for our location, but the current pace still has the calendar year ending with a bit over 60 inches of total liquid.

Had 2.68" for August, all but 0.17" coming while we were away on vacation. YTD is 29.22", exactly 2.00" below my Jan-Aug average. Your 2017 to date is about 40% higher than mine, though I'm guessing your full-year average is not that far above mine. (49.31") You would need almost 69" by 12/31 to be as far ahead of my average, proportionally, as you are during the 1st 8 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got about 10" on ya. If I remember correctly, JSpin is usually around 55-60" annually for precip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had some drier years prior to the current one, and it looks like the average annual liquid is coming more into the 53”-54” range here, so indeed not too far above what tamarack has for his long-term number. After my first few seasons of recording total liquid here I was indeed getting an average in the 55”-60” range as PF recalled, but perhaps that was a wet stretch and these past few seasons have refined it appropriately. Being on track for 60”+ at this point in the season though is probably notable because it’s likely more than 10% above average. We’ll see how long that pace continues, but this last stretch of September has been reasonably wet, with 2.62” in just the first 10 days of the month. That’s pretty notable in a month where the average rainfall I’ve got in my records is only 3.87”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I would say the progress of foliage is earlier than last year by quite a bit. I think powder may be right that at this rate Columbus day visitors have to be a bit concerned they will show up past peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice thin layer of moisture it seemed right near summit level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
