March 2024 Forecasts and Discussions

Snow seems to have stopped. Received maybe 4 cm of wet snow and snow grains(?) in about 3 hours or so.
Sure it will melt again within an hour or two.

We got a couple quick centimeters in about 15 minutes and it's in a lull now, but the temperature certainly dropped a lot.

I just had a trace briefly accumulate! First time I have ever seen snow stick on the ground on the West Coast in March.

Bodes well for tomorrow morning, when the NAM 3km says there will be another snow chance.

That's insane, considering March snow is not uncommon here.

April is the start of Q2 which is why I said almost

Right but it is March 1. We are only 2/3 of the way to Q2. Anyways, it doesn’t really matter haha.

Snow grains are the best!

We sometimes get snow in April Rubes. I once saw it snow on May.. 25?? I think..around the PNE..not far from your area.

SOMEONE, at SOME POINT, has to score here. Right?

Tofino has hovered near zero and has seen off and on snow today.

I moved to the West Coast in the summer of 1989, have lived in a variety of places, and today was literally the first time I saw the ground whitened by snow in March. I have seen flakes in the air that melt the instant they hit the ground perhaps two or three other times. I am not making this up.

Portland had a nice dump of snow in April a year or two ago. Portland.

Needless to say, I have not seen more than just flakes in the air in April, either. At least not on the West Coast. Saw plenty of March, April, and May snow in the Rockies.

That can’t be right. We’ve had many March snowfalls.
