It's been snowing in Ellensburg pretty good for a few hours and was snowing really good in Taneum curves as well since around 7am, yet radar looks like there is no precipitation in the area, only to the east of us. I've only been able to keep up by spotter reports from my kiddos and watching the wsdot cams. Manashtash Ridge seems like it is getting hammered...much worse there than in Snoqualmie Pass today and yesterday.Thompsonizedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13502838763091809393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-24801140999155573262012-10-24T08:30:13.413-07:002012-10-24T08:30:13.413-07:00'A bit off topic, but today's contrast bet...'A bit off topic, but today's contrast between the LGX data and the ATX data is greater than the images in a recent post on how "blind" ATX is to big time weather on our coast. I will take it upon myself to see to it that Maria Cantwell sees the images being served up at 8:15 this morning, Oct. 24th. What a great difference! And thanks again to Cliff for his part in making this happen.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726805396038087981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-43902136480901944762012-10-23T14:49:43.546-07:002012-10-23T14:49:43.546-07:00Oh but I want to see graphs of the snowstorms on n...Oh but I want to see graphs of the snowstorms on neutral years.Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07104150699053980989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-707335256858767432012-10-23T14:49:24.147-07:002012-10-23T14:49:24.147-07:00Interesting post as always Cliff!

One-two-three punch that didn't it every area every time on the Lower Mainland of BC but did major damage in every case.<br /><br />Looking at the <a href="http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/ensostuff/ensoyears.shtml" rel="nofollow">ENSO table</a> here:<br /><br />2006 and 2012 are nearly identical though if the ENSO forecasts hold, they should diverge as 2006 went into a mild El Nino where 2012 is heading back down towards neutral.chrisalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733469914802703736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-56621892506287479462012-10-23T12:19:39.218-07:002012-10-23T12:19:39.218-07:00I heard a remark this morning about our having a &...I heard a remark this morning about our having a "Pineapple Express" winter.

They've been very consistant for months about it. I think theyre stubborn about an El Nino but maybe they know of other factors? They did backoff on the warming though.<br /><br />Snowflakes below 2000 ft today near Yakima. It was sticking at 2000ft. Rained all morning, changed to snow the last couple hrs at 2pm. It was a very interesting process because it was the afternoon and no cold air was present. Had to be an example of dynamical cooling.smokejumperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358322512081660205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-79328126692077637372012-10-22T22:36:02.653-07:002012-10-22T22:36:02.653-07:00Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270446487784762333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-54760621351761326172012-10-22T22:02:04.750-07:002012-10-22T22:02:04.750-07:00Oh, I hope you are correct!
