Re: Pacific Northwest warmer drier winter
I can assure you, warm and dry doesn't mean there won't be snow
Some huge snows have occurred in El Nino years...
That being said, we receive less snow in general than we did years. We have also had a couple of snowy years the last few years, so we are due for a winter with little/no snow.
1.77" so far today in Battle Ground haha

Four out of five Wooly Bears agree with NOAA: an average, mild winter for us .

Computer models looking at historical data. While this can be reasonably accurate, it's not foolproof, and there are some damn good fools out and about.
Only time will tell if the forecast is correct.

The Snow Melt Out Day on Mt Hood is trending to later in the summer.
So either the trend is more snow during the snow season or lower temperatures during/after snow season delaying the melt out.
Re: Pacific Northwest warmer drier winter
Wrong. Remove 2012 and the trend line is statistically flat. With 2012 in it may be too; the confidence interval for the slope was not reported and the line may have been free hand.

Re: Pacific Northwest warmer drier winter
We need another snow storm like 2008. Keeps the waterfalls flowing in summertime.
