Kind of funny being under a flood watch on the last day of the month with <0.20" precip for the month till now lol.
0.19" so far for this event. Heavy band starting to move in and stall. Still looks like good shot at an inch plus.
EDIT: Got excited, thought I heard thunder a sec ago, but looked out and realized it was just the garbage dude banging around out there lol.
The worst flooding I've ever had on my property was one of these mid-winter rains of only ~0.50". When those corn fields are frozen solid, there's nowhere for that rain to go and it accumulates FAST.

I'm struggling too believe me. But fr, we look good for at least the grass being covered for next week. And we also at least don't seem to be losing the signal for a shot or two later in the month

Throw in the SWE and the temperature of the snowpack going into a thaw. At mid day today, our snowpack had unusually high SWE (1.6" on 6-7" SD at LOT) and in general the temperature across the heart of it was quite cold due to extended cold stretch. Those factors initially make it more resilient, with a warmer snowpack going in more prone to "ripening" faster.
There's going to be steady melt but it appears that temps and dew points up in the metro and points west should stay low enough to prevent a nuking of the snowpack over the next several days. That is unless dew points trend higher absent insolation, as it does appear we should stay cloudy through the period.

I was just outside walking the dog, and quite a bit of my snow has gone from the powder you would expect from the recent cold to packable and able to throw snowballs for the dog.

I had to clear the drifts from my driveway yesterday.

I don’t think interior BC gets 80 degree dewpoints though. I have experienced some PNW heatwaves, and they can be very hot and also humid enough to be uncomfortable, but you never get that steamy tropical feel. It also seems like the most extreme temperatures happen in localized downslope areas. I noticed Olympia Washington hit 110 while Seattle only got to 101. It has something to do with the terrain. There are plenty of extreme places on earth, especially when you consider micro-climates, but the combo of tropical summers and brutal cold winters seems kinda unique to the Midwest US IMO.
Four of the top five are commonly referred to as "inhospitable". The fifth one is the great plains.

Its crazy to me that the same place that has triple digit hear and 80 degree dewpoints in July and August is this cold in the winter.
My coworkers in Germany and UK are simply unable to comprehend the extremes of weather we get in the US.

Rural DeKalb county is basically shut down today. Road crews can't keep up with the drifting. The cold is brutal.
