Yeah, I love it! I usually just work over the summer but this year I decided I wanted to work during the school year! It's a lot of work and quite tiring and makes it so I dont really have much free time but I love it!

The next month is still fine, because we can see meaningful snow in the mountains and possibly even down here. After late March, I'm on board for more ridging.

Especially river front vans.

A midweek Clipper may bring some decent snowfall to someone in NE/IA/N MO/NE KS. Still some model discrepancy as to where the snow may fall, but all models suggest someone may cash in on some snow.

00z Euro goes legit arctic. -13 850mb temps to PDX at hour 204. Not bad: http://download.ecmwf.org/data/web248/get_legacy_plot-web248-20150224065653-4215-2189.gif

CAN---

Olympia down 22 degrees in four hours! #takethatshitBoston

Its awesome you do that after school.

I guess the only downside for the people enjoying that is that they have to live in Georgia or Louisiana.

Nope.

Models have been "scary" consistent with this storm which is quite unusual. Hoping it gets wetter with each run.

48hr total-- it's still snowing at this time frame-

Not surprisingly, the 18z RGEM is more amped and much farther northeast than the GFS, taking the snow through central Iowa.

Had -15*F here in Marshall this morning. I don't keep a daily log of such lows because normally we don't get anywhere close to -15 or below. But last winter and this winter we sure have been. Had -23*F Friday morning and I'm pretty sure that's a record for here or really, really close to it. Small town, so the nearest official records are KBTL about 12 miles west. I remember those -35*F (and COLDER) when I worked up in Grayling back in 1994. That's just rediculous for OH to have hit that cold too!

Both 12z Euro Ensembles/Control look identical to the operational...

Glass houses...

This might be our only chance of seeing some flakes for the work week.

Some people just have a tendency to overreact to it when the water seems to be coming at them faster at times than others.

32 at PDX this morning.

I'm sure it's a great program, and it sounds like you're on a good path but ultimately credentials are a huge part of our societal infrastructure. The hippies can only take us so far...

No problem. NCAR has some really great free online courses on weather and climate for non-scientists. I can send you some of those of you'd like. It might help you understand climate and weather a bit better. A lot of students I've tutored really liked them.

You're missing the point here. He's saying that immediate correlation and large scale causation ought to not be confused.

So, another hour of global cooling? Problem with this analogy is that the "tide" (global temperature) is indeed rising. The waves might vary in size but the tide is gradually marching closer to shore. That doesn't mean every wave will make it further inland than the one before, or even that every big wave is caused by the rising tide, but it makes it a heck of a lot more likely. Even with the ebb and flow there is an underlying trend.

I'm rooting for this to be a MSP special, they've had it rough this winter.

Corvallis down to 25 on the hour

You call yourself neutral? Really? :-)

I'll take any moisture we can get in the Omaha area. No real snowcover here other than the few leftover drifts from the last 8-9" that we got a few weeks ago. There are cracks in my yard so big I can stick my hand down in them. I am more than sick of these sub zero temps though...

Its funny how you only post the canadian when its a bucket of cold water. lol

The hyperbole on this forum is unreal. This current warmth we're experiencing is not caused by AGW. Even Professor Cliff Mass is calling those out with this opinion. The insanity we see on this forum is like those who called superstorm Sandy one that was caused by AGW. There is nothing that happens in this world anymore without being linked to AGW. This type of talk forces Cliff Mass to make several blog posts a year to vent his frustration. I am not Cliff Mass. I read posts from people who believe both sides. I'm more neutral.

Just the thought that cousin Eddie's brother could be the most brilliant climatologist on the planet is silly enough.

Well the 12z ensembles definitely have a strong signal for west coast troughing in the long range...For what its worth.

Lets see what February can offer us. Still another week to go with this dull, frigid month. March can be stormy, but does not excite me that much because Spring is right around the corner. Higher sun angle, higher averages, longer days and etc. I will say this: up to March 10th is where I stop thinking winter and start thinking Spring. Anything after that is just a slopfest, as far as snowfall goes. As far as the upcoming weekend storm, well, lets see how that unfolds. Hope it gives us a decent snowfall.

Very heavy band moved through earlier with the passage of the Arctic front. It was near white-out conditions at times as I was driving, as you can see in the video.
