November 2021 Forecasts and Discussions

2016-17 was colder/snowier in Oregon than here at times. Especially in early-mid Jan.

2013-14 was like that too, and even more extreme at times (early Dec and early Feb).

We still did well in December. We got snows on the 4th, 11th and New year's Eve off the top of my head. January, definitely too dry. But Seattle managed to get skunked for all of those I believe.

Another big dump of rain on day 9!

I'll give that 20% chance of verifying. It's a tough set up for snow. pomo special.

Cold, possibly slushy, rain beats the pants off 10ËšC rain and melting snowpacks in the mountains.

I was in Seattle for that winter and for the most part it sucked. Did score a surprise snowfall right as the cold event was ending but that was it.

December was great. Plenty of snow and long lasting cold (which made the monthly mean stand out). Nothing too crazy anomalous though, which was the only thing lacking that month.

The snow cover helped to maximize the surface level cold in early-mid Jan because the pattern setup was mostly backdoor and I believe the east side of the ridge even nudged over us at some point so it was essentially an inversion. Oregon sure got blasted though... couple snowstorms and fairly extreme cold by their standards. Both early Dec and early Feb in winter '13-14 were like this as well.

John would know Gimps he's the valleys pioneer, might have been the first settler in the valley.

GFS still brings in the cold after day 10 with temps remaining below freezing (temps hover between about 0c and -8c) until the end of the run.

Here's a GIF showing the highs and lows from day 10 thru 16.

New attraction coming soon to the valley. Lake Sumas outdoor rink, future home of the Abby Canucks.

That should also be the Canucks new training facility. Gotta shake things up.

Desperate times call for desperate measures!

“There is a risk of flooding, stream overflow, and slope movements at various locations in Hatzic Valley,” the alert says.

And here he is again assessing the damage from the great ice storm of 1935. 100mm+ of freezing rain in the valley with that storm.

Unconfirmed reports that this was Johnny testing out the original Sumas Lake.

Would be pretty cool if he could do it again this winter.
