Fall Weather 2023

Misery loves company!

Not much better in the PNW. After multiple rain events and persistently high freezing levels, the base depths are now back down to where we were in November (which was an abysmal start).

Could you imagine traveling all this way to ski this?

We are.

Went to Whistler once in early March '15 and it was probably worse then this. Only the upper quarter of the mountain had any snow. I swore I'd never go back, at least on a pre-planned trip.

I believe it’s gonna snow before you get there- a lot. We have to believe

A lot of weather will be moving into the pnw

I don’t blame you. It’s only a 2 hr drive from my place and I rarely commit to dates in advance. Inconsistent freezing levels are a huge drawback of the region.

That said, when the conditions are good, there’s nothing quite like it.

Indeed. How much of it falls as snow, we shall see.

There’s certainly no shortage of weather in these parts during the winter months. LOL

On track for the second warmest December in 150 years. 5 of the top 10 are in the last 11 years.

Yep, and 5 of the top 10 are from the late 1800's to 1920's

Records are made to be set and broken

Of course. There have been plenty of warm Decembers in my 60 years. But if anyone thinks winters been warmer more lately than previous decades, it's because it has.

For as long as we've been keeping track, yes, you are correct.
