None of the typical spring garbage where downsloping or elevations plays havoc with the totals. It's going to be a fairly uniform 10-20" for most of our CWA, outside of the areas that struggled to flip to snow at the onset. Wonder where we'd be if the Dec and Jan rn storms were all sn. We'd be pushing 120" I'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisrotary12 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 5 minutes ago, jbenedet said: Don’t know how anyone has been adding to totals MHT points south/east unless you have elevation. 34/35 throughout the area for lows last night. I’ve had probably had 30” of falling snow, but no more than 3” at any point to show for it. The trees even lost their thick white coats overnight, despite the persistent light snow falling throughout. We are now capping this event off with a flip to rain/drizzle. Funny. My trees added a coating of white overnight after losing it late yesterday afternoon. Melting now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you just made those months average (and March was below too) I would be near 80" for MBY. That's a solid +20 for the PWM area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re going to get a good melt today despite the BN temps and clouds, given that the ground never froze up. Makes a big difference. Can’t melt fast enough for me though. April 5th man. I need spring.

tunafish Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 PWM obs 00z - 0.7" nada at 05z 12z - 0.4" Event total is 8.0" which includes a total of 2.80" liquid - both rain and snow. Depth is 5" Season total is 38.0". That's going to put PWM #9 on the least snowy winter on record list. Impressive considering 2 weeks ago we were post equinox and sitting at #1. It's still snowing lightly but I don't think we're picking up another 0.6", which would bump us from #9 to #10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a big difference. Can’t melt fast enough for me though. April 5th man. I need spring. Even when its overcast, the sun is doing it's thing. I just went out to clear the driveway and cars. They the new 2.5" from overnight and the bottom layer had frozen on. I brushed off the snow and then spent 20 minutes clearing the end of the driveway. It started snowing lightly again during that time. I went to scrape the ice and the sun had already softened it up enough for me to be able to brush them off without having to use the scraper.

Listen, no snow forecast is ever going to be perfect in all locations, but this is going to be a pretty great forecast for a difficult April storm. We'll see what the map looks like later today (though our phones are down, so we may have to delay until we can talk to all the Coops, etc), but I think it's going to look pretty good compared to even our Tuesday maps. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop breaking ball's We couldn't reach them at 18z, but the METAR had a 6 inch snow depth. Based on their previous report we estimated 4.4" additional snow to reach that 6" depth. It could be 5.5" depth rounded up, so maybe you could take that down to 3.9", but it's still a snowfall of 5.5" plus whatever fell after 18z. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 3 minutes ago, HoarfrostHubb said: I saw Portland had an official Blizzard? Nah. It's a pretty common mistake that I make all the time. I think Charlie found 3 consecutive obs of blizzard conditions (if you forego the "less than" 1/4 mile bit). But 3 consecutive obs is actually only 2 hours of time. You need 3 hours, so it's really 4 consecutive obs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
