Zoomed in CDN snow accum model for you all, the other ones are a bit harder to read from distance.

Sorry for those who couldn't see the latest GEM snowfall. This might work for everyone.

*Picks Jaw off Floor*

And...just for kicks...GEM throws this stronger surface low approaching the coast for late Sunday night....tough to tell where R/S line is.

Hi all, I'm trying something a bit different on my blog today, and doing live updates throughout the day as needed. I think at least today's storm will have more of an impact north of the border, but tracks/intensity can change.

Latest Post: http://50shadesofvan.com/blog/2014/2/11/welcome-back-winter Scott Sistek's latest post is interesting as well, as he counts about 10 Pacific Storms that will influence our weather the next 16 days.

Pretty epic snow event down in PDX and area by the sounds of it! Enjoy it while you can, everyone. Up in Canada, I just issued a Hydrometer Alert for the City of Vancouver. http://50shadesofvan.com/blog/2014/2/7/hydrometeor-alert-for-the-city-of-vancouver

Latest post for discussing snow chances for us in the north: http://50shadesofvan.com/blog/2014/2/5/will-it-snow-this-weekend EDIT: Maybe should have waited for the 18Z to come out...

Fair enough, but I still feel PDX will have a low between 9-12 Thursday night. We'll see though.

SREF's are very aggressive in the temperature department, in case you want to have a look. A couple single digit LOWS possible for PDX. Maybe squeak out a 9? EDIT: lows. Definitely, Definitely lows. Portland ≠ Mars

Great to have another fellow Canadian aboard the forums. I feel there's some very real potential for snow squalls for east Vancouver Island tomorrow. We'll see, but conditions do seem pretty ripe for an event like this.

Just appreciate how far the -10 850 isotherm goes out into the Pacific. Pretty historic for February. 12Z WRF model should be pretty chilly.

Nothing to see here, nothing to see... EDIT: Cold snap broke WeatherBell. Domain min: -61.4?
