Both were washouts in the SF Bay Area. December is turning out to be exceptionally dry in most of CA. There are indicators of a pre-drought pattern with the persistent blocking high and PDO trends that could indicate continued lack of precipitation. La Nina seems to be entrenched. Always interested to hear a scientific explanation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05866397592997282093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-83820149374748304112017-12-18T16:51:59.285-08:002017-12-18T16:51:59.285-08:00Hi Cliff,

Is there enough cold air to the north to consider a lowland snow threat in Whatcom/Skagit counties? I saw the afternoon forecast discussion mentioned the possibilities of snow on the north side of the Olympic range. Curious if you see enough adiabatic cooling potential for other parts of the lowlands.<br /><br />Thanks!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17430621070111919704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-88057025328863891302017-12-18T15:11:12.426-08:002017-12-18T15:11:12.426-08:00"Another winter with barely any lowland snow...."Another winter with barely any lowland snow.
