February Snowfalls 2/10-2/12, Part III & IV

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Getting ready to go plow all night i have condominiums to plow out. I dont want to do it but i dont pass up money.

[Phil]

There were many times I wondered if we would ever get to forecast a weather event of this magnitude.

 

The last two weeks have been one hell of a ride and I'm so grateful I got to experience it.

You know it’s legit when the snow starts calving off the roofs.

I sold mine to pay for a snowblower after last Thursday’s 12z Euro.

That D**n fv3 was spot on here with snow totals. Crazy.

[Phil]

8.5" NE of Redmond at 550ft for this evening. There's generally about 16-21" on the ground depending on the surface and amount of shade it received after the first snow. 31" So far for the month.

 

SE wind are helping keep us between 29 and 30 degrees. I'm skeptical of how long it will last but am enjoying it for now!

Ha, you still exist. Welcome back.

[ShawniganLake]

Yeah it becomes a nightmare if you wait too long. That’s why I did it one more time. Less work in the morning. Think I will need to get a snowblower for future winters...however it’s been one work out routine that I haven’t minded doing!

I’ve got a toro snowblower. Totally worth it if you clear a lot of area. I had about 14” in my driveway this afternoon. And it went thru that like nothing

[MossMan]

The fat bird ate a lot of seed today...must mean winter is continuing for a while longer yet!

[Phil]

2 trees have fallen in my yard

From snow?

[TigerWoodsLibido]

First night in a long time there’s been no mention of the Euro while it was running. It’s not a bad run my any stretch.

I would imagine the only people all that interested are Oregon folks and I feel like we can pretty much see the writing on the wall. Time to start focusing on College Basketball instead of worrying about models that aren’t going to deliver the goods down here for what looks to be an extremely long time.

[Phil]

Amazing photos guys! I thought I’d run out of likes but Fred must have killed the limit.

 

I guess Jim lost power..I haven’t seen posts from him tonight.

[Jesse]

Model fatigue?

Yeah, I’ve been so sidetracked with the hours of heavy snow falling here I forgot it was even running!

Maybe you can hack the engine into a pump? Document the deconstruction just in case.

00z EPS cancels Tim’s warm-up.

 

[Jesse]

That rain band has been in the same place for a long time. Portland might miss out on its big totals.

[bainbridgekid]

From a friend at 140 feet on Bainbridge. He measured 18" on table.

Very nice!

It’ll slide south eventually.

[epiceast]

Isn't that a 360hr map and only a small anomaly over PNW?

Fucksatawney Phil saw his shadow and it said 34 degree rain in Portland for two more weeks. 

 

This month blows.

I’m surprised you wouldn’t have a little more appreciation for the historic nature of the event up north. Even though it’s not in your backyard.

Getting wise with age I see.

All eyes on Hillsboro and Forest Grove in next 2 hours or so...

Too late. I already sold the snowblower to pay for a bunch of Jim Croche records, a record player, a bottle of scotch and some Ambien to help drown my snowless sorrows.

Let it out! A 2008-style meltdown could pay off BIG next December.

Time to move back to Blaine?

[smerfylicious]

Still snowing in mill creek. Idk how much longer it will last based on the radar. Looks like the warm up will hit us here before precip ends.

[bainbridgekid]

Funnily enough I have a friend in Mill Creek who has made several posts on facebook complaining about "only" having 6" of snow, posting pictures of easily 18-20" on the ground outside their house. People are bad at estimating the weather.

The greatest example of this was from a few years ago.

 

My friends know I'm obsessed with weather and always ask me if and how much it will snow. We had a storm coming in a couple days and a friend asked how much to expect. I explained how complex the situation was, that anywhere from 3-6" was possible, and that if I had to guess, I would say 4" was the most likely.

 

Fast forward to the end of the storm and he messages me telling me how it snowed SO much more than 4 inches and he can't believe I finally blew a forecast. Said it had to be at least a foot of snow. I asked for pictures and it looked like maybe 4 or 5 inches. Asked him to measure and it was  . . .  . exactly 4 inches.

[MossMan]

Still snowing. Still 31.8. Still epic.

It looks like the ridge is a little closer to us than before. I think we got one more chance of an Arctic Blast in the 10-15 day period, after that the bulk of the cold air slides east.

Objectively appreciating its historic nature and hating it aren't mutually exclusive.

 

And it's been an objectively torturous affair from Toledo-south, outside of a maybe 10 mile radius in the eastern metro area.

Only took a few days back then

At this point it’d be preferred. Snow is about to take on the kissing-your-sister feel.

Hood River has about 30" right now. That'll suffice.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

It was raining here but stopped for a bit. Just had a monster wind gust and rain is starting back up.

That happened on January 2 at midnight.

Late February’s have been top tier over the last 10+ years.

2/18/18 through 2/28/18 I had snow on the ground and a few sub freezing highs.

Also this little gem on 2/28/07 just to name a few.

If I had time in a bottle...

 

Don't mess around with GEM...

 

Bad, Bad LeRoy Brown approves of this decision.

Yet the adrenaline still flowed after those Euro runs...

Been steadily getting 0.3" per hour rates out here. Hopefully it misses PDX as minor retribution for their win the other night.
