wncsnow Posted Monday at 04:17 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:17 PM I have been perusing data again and was looking at the most snowy 5 year periods for the foothills from the last 75 years. Most Snowy- 1960-1965- 70-80 inches of snow. Winter of 1960 had around 30-40 inches alone (most of it coming in Feb and March). 1968-1973. 70-80 inches of snow. Winter of 1968/69 was the snowiest on record for a lot of our region. 35-45 inches of snow fell that winter alone. 1943-1948- 65-75 inches of snow. Around 15 inches each season. 2014-2019- 60-70 inches of snow. Big storms in 2016 and 2018 helped this period make the list. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have a chance it would be interesting to see the top 5 least snowy periods in the foothills over the last 75 years with the snow drought we have going on now. Great data here! Thanks buddy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted Tuesday at 06:52 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:52 PM I’d say there’s a strong chance Monday morning will be the lowest temp of the winter season. I may eat my words, but low teens have been hard to come by for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to see what can change up the new base state and the subtropical jet is straight up dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that Aleutian Ridge is going anywhere on its on. @Daniel Boone pointed this out in the TV thread, but the only way to glory soon is to back our blocking west, boot the death ridge to the west coast and shove that Aleutian Ridge into a more optimal spot deep into Russia. I do think we get a strong -NAO but it remains to be seen if that has the downstream effects we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of folks love it because it does a lot of their work for them but it also takes human skill and the human touch out of things. I'm all about embracing technology (including some machine learning, and digital modeling), having been a studio engineer all these years. What I don't care for currently is how AI is being used, sometimes surreptitiously, to compose music, limiting opportunities for actual artists. I'm also a COB: Crotchety Old Bastard. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Hope I'm wrong but I am just not seeing more than another transient shot of cold from the -NAO (with no subtropical jet which means its probably going to be dry) followed by more meh as the NAO goes back to neutral or positive. I probably sound like a broken record but without the Pacific calming down for more than a couple days, its going to be extremely hard to get winter storm threats.
