Andrew...We are currently at 15 lows of 32 or below for the month. I am hoping for a perfect 20. The last time we had a month with 20 or more was Feb 1993. The thing that really blows my mind is 9 straight lows of 25 or below...Wow! I don't care what anybody says, this is only a false spring at best, with those kinds of numbers.
We had a high / low of 60 - 23 today. Even after hitting 60 today, I still think tomorrow morning will be 25 or below again. The dew point on Stampede Pass today was only 11 degrees, so we could even go lower than 23. The temp has already plunged to 43. This is some of the most continental type weather I have ever seen here!
I was very pleased to see that this is being compared to 1977 - 78! The winter of 1978 - 79 had many cold spells and some decent snows. Olympia actually got down to -7 in Jan 1979. That was the coldest Janauary between 1969 and now, in most areas. It is going to take me some time to sift through comparable years to get an idea of where this is all going! We are in some really unusual territory here. It is safe to say, we are not going to see any long stretches of "normal" weather any time soon. Everything is way too out of whack. This is actually quite exciting in many ways.
