Our Wednesday morning is beginning with light to moderate rain showers. I emptied 0.54″ from my gauge at 8 AM this morning and it has been raining ever since. It appears that this will last most of the day […]

Tuesday was partly cloudy, still quite warm and a bit less humid, with no rain around today. Temperatures rose from the mid 60s in the early AM to the muggy low 80s in the afternoon among the partly cloudy skies. […]

We got a taste of winter in mid-September, when an unseasonably cool upper-level trough dropped several inches of the white stuff to Timberline, Paradise Ranger Station, and many other locations in the Cascades […]

Great post Charlie! Great weather up there in the Pac NW mountains now. Can’t wait to see how big a dump key places get. I have a friend who has been doing extensive traveling with his lovely wife and just passed through Crater Lake. He was fascinated by the long term snowfall record at the COOP station at Park HQ there. There has been a general trend downward through the 20th century and into the 21st He has a theory to explain this drop, and it isn’t due to global warming. Fascinating! Thanks for this great post Charlie!

Thanks Kevin! Yup, tons of snowfall for this early in the season. Timberline at Mt. Hood even opened a chair for one day!
I’d like to hear his theory! I believe there’s been a general downward trend throughout the Washington Cascades as well. I wonder if El Nino/La Nina play a role… there were far more La Ninas (good for snow here) in the 1950s-1970s and there were far fewer to end the 20th century.

Thanks Charlie. My friend is still driving out west with his wife so he won’t be able to shed any light about his theory on the decline of Pac NW snowfall (Particularly focus of study are the Crater Lake OR long time snow records). One thing I have been looking for over the past few years are Pac NW climate records for January 1950. As I understand it, it was a really cold and snowy month. NWS/NCEI doesn’t have any records for the month for Washington State sights, and I believe Oregon as well. The limited amount of data I have seen of low, normally milder spots like Portland and Seattle even had several very cold days and significant snows. Meanwhile here in Maryland and through much of the Eastern US we had a record warm month, with temps reaching 80 on a few days near the end of the month at many sites. Must have been quite an amplified pattern of trough in the NW and ridge over parts of the Eastern US. Fascinating!
Stay well Charlie,
Kevin

Very interesting article, Charlie! Thanks for investigating. Of all of the effects you mention, the snow/ice cover are what stand out to me as the major influence (first Autumn snow cover quickly initiating a drop in temps, resulting in more snow, etc., then the max snow cover taking a long time to fully melt delays Spring warming).
I’m hoping for some lowland snows this winter too! Time to pull out and clean my snowboard.
