Sunday, Dec. 1 marked the start of meteorological winter. This period of dry weather is expected to continue through the middle of this week as the meteorological winter gets rolling.
November is usually the wettest month of the year, and that reputation held firm for much of the month. Then higher pressure aloft built over the Pacific Northwest, resulting in a dry finish to the month since the 28th, along with some sunshine.
In the mountains, warmer air aloft associated with the upper-level high pressure will push freezing levels around 10,000 feet through Wednesday, though afternoon pass temperatures will only rise into the mid-30s to mid-40s, helping preserve the current snowpack. As noted earlier, meteorological winter started on Sunday, Dec. 1. Yet, the calendar says winter begins on the winter solstice, this year on Dec. 21, just after 1 a.m.The winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, is based upon astronomical seasons that people have used to mark time for thousands of years.
