The HRRR has shown several inches here quite a few times in the last few days and all I've gotten is a slushy half inch. I've given up on it. It seems like all of the models have taken a huge step back lately. They used to be far more accurate, at least in the short term. The long range pepto maps have always been garbage but fun to talk about.

Last winter I probably had 48 hours worth of 33-35 degree non sticking snow over the entire season. It was infuriating. The biggest depth I had during that entire winter was .75". It does suck but 35 degree snowfall is better than 35 degree rainfall.

Man I miss the south hills. I grew up on Spring Blvd off E 30th at about 920'. It's crazy how much more snow you get in the hills than in the flats. There were times growing up when I would get 6" and the flats got 1". I used to love leaving the snow on top of my car and driving to school to show it off. (I'm still a moron but don't pull those shenanigans any more)

It snowed for about 20 minutes at around 8:30 tonight. The amount of stickage was nope. EUG didn't report any though on the 5 minute obs. Currently 34 degrees which is 2 degrees colder than EUG. The airport is usually colder, but not always. Some other nice person added a personal station to the wunderground network that is only a block a way. Now I got one that is two blocks away and one that is one block away. I don't even need to look at my thermometer any more. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KOREUGEN393 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KOREUGEN497 I'm pretty much sandwiched in between them.

Yeah, I was wrong about this. The next few blobs came in a bit warmer with just a rain/snow mix even though it was only 32.5.The precip rates just weren't there. Oh well, at least I scored a slushy half inch. There's still a couple of more opportunities in the next few days.

Only light snow now, but the good news is that there is a much bigger blob of moisture headed this way. I will predict that we will both end up with 2+ inches on rooftops, cars, etc by dawn or slightly after.

Yep. Same here. I stayed up for this shitt. Sticking pretty much everywhere including the streets. We could easily end up with an inch if this keeps up for 30 minutes.

Snow has stopped and it has melted off all the pavement, but the roofs, grassy areas, and cars are covered. Temp down to 31 so it could put us in pretty good shape for the next blob of moisture that rolls through. Medford radar is best. Pretty strange to be looking at SW flow in March for the next snowfall possibility.

Very nice that this happened in the middle of the night. Score!

Down to 33 here with sticking snow (that will melt the 2nd the snow stops probably). March for the win!

Absolutely dumping here. Sweet! 20240302_004855.mp4

This storm was well forecasted at least 4-5 days ago. There's no excuse for being anywhere near Donner Pass tonight. It probably should have been preempted closed to prevent crap like this. If one semi jacknifes, everyone behind is simply fukked.

The HRRR sure is bullish on some snow down here tonight. I'll do my part and be on windshield duty.
