Pacific Northwest snowpack improves at the start of March after week of snow

5 March 2024 No Comments

A prolonged pattern of upper level troughing and repeated regional storm systems have added quite a bit of snow to mountains of the Pacific Northwest over the past week. As of the end of the day on March 4, the snow-water equivalent (SWE) value for the Northwest was 88% of the median for this time […]

This post has been updated with data through March 15. With snow still on the ground following our exceptional last month and a half, I thought it would be fun to list the records we broke or got close to breaking. These records are for the Tri-Cities and are considered unofficial. I’ve listed the old […]

Will we break March’s snowfall record?

5 March 2019 No Comments

March is a beautiful month. Highs in the 50s, lows in the 30s. Warm enough to be able to go outside without more than a sweater but definitely not close to the heat we experience in the summer. That is, except for this year. So far this month, we have broken four daily record lows […]

Does Bethlehem ever have a White Christmas?

Recently, I saw a post in a Facebook group I am a part of. It was posted by an Australian who was frustrated that, despite it being summer in the Southern Hemisphere, Christmas still carries a winter theme there. This reminded me of when I lived in Abilene, Texas. Unlike my last Christmas, which was […]

SLIDESHOW – Trip to see the meteor shower

14 December 2017 1 Comment

With all this talk of “the best meteor shower of 2017,” Alisha and I decided to go on an adventure to take advantage of the majorly clear skies and lack of rain in northern Nevada. Knowing that the lights of Fernley, Fallon, and Reno would drown out the night sky, we made the trek north to […]

Pacific Northwest Snowpack Report – December 2016

28 December 2016 1 Comment

If it seems like you’ve gotten a lot of snow so far this season, you’re not wrong. All of Oregon is above average for snowfall thus far, as well as most of Washington and southern Idaho. This is good for improving our ongoing drought situation, especially in eastern Oregon where the drought is still keeping […]

Here we go boys and girls, this is what we’ve been dreaming of! Snow is set to arrive along I-15 beginning Friday Night and lasting into Christmas Day. The Weather Service offices in Salt Lake City and Pocatello have thrown a couple of winter alerts our way, so let’s take a look at the situation. […]
