December 2024 Forecasts And Discussions

Zero winter so far...maybe it gets cold and snowy this year in March
#Marchintowinter

Cold rain with maybe a little bit of slush mixed in is more like it.

[Rubus_Leucodermis]

Maybe a little wet snow on Thursday before it changes to rain? Low dew points and quite chilly at precip onset.

I will note that only NAM and GFS show it, but the NAM has been quite accurate in the short-term for lowland snow chances in the last few years.

We have had MANY snowy Marches before..better than a ZERO winter..which is where we are at so far..with no end in sight for the next 10 days+

Wouldnt it be sad if this was our monumental Cold/Snow event of the winter?

That’s before I showed up to scare it away.

Florence, Oregon has better chances of seeing sticking snow this March than does East Van.

I doubt it will be.

Every single model run today continue to show that semi-permanent Aleutian low 16 days out....Not one GEFS ensemble member showed any potential change.

Snow_wizard: "Good things are coming."

Until we loose that AL, we are stuck in this stupid #patternlock and the East gets all the winter weather.



Still hopeful that the pattern shakes up a bit as we get later into Jan.

[Hawk]

starting next Monday, at least one model shows an anchored High, with ~567 dam for us for the rest of the entire run..9 days!!

Skipper Gimpyballs and The Sardinies old retired farts snowfall contest for the 2024/2025 season has been canceled due to what else a poor performance of accumulating snowflakes.
0cm @ your home for New Years eve the pond in south Sardis, l haven't even seen a splat. oh and it's currently plus 1c it doesn't even go below 0c this winter what a joke.

Hasn't hit freezing in Mission this month either, at least not officially. I got down to +0.1C, so maybe someone hit freezing?

Last December was warm as well, but at least we got below 0C a couple of times.

FS has some cooler air moving West as we head towards the end of JAN, similar to the Euro Weeklies and Extended GEFS.

3 extended longer range models with a similar idea.

Could mean something.. could mean nothing.

Weeklies just came out.

More or less going with the same idea of things cooling down as we get later into Jan and into #FEB.

Extended GEFS, Extended EPS and FS weeklies all going with the similar idea as of now.

Perhaps a light at the end of the tunnel?

Or perhaps things just keep getting pushed down the road.

It’ll come. It likely lasts only 5 days but who knows.

[Hawk]

Its really simple, yet hardly achieved. We need persistent WC troffing starting around Dec 15 every year..and #patternlock that up for the usual ~2 months, for many, many victories during the best part of winter to score snow

Nothing more than a slushy cm IMBY.

March snow is pretty common here. I'm sure your curse will be broken soon.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Until then, I will invoke weenie mode at the mere mention of it.
