Cleared the driveway and truck off at 4pm yesterday. Took this at noon today. Non stop heavy Sierra cement snow. Storm total around 38" Labrador in picture is 100lbs for reference

Massive shift West at day 9.

This time of year, I long for the smell of leather and cut grass. It is such an emotional stimulant for me. When I finally hung it up I desperately needed some kind of competitive outlet so I became a salmon and steelhead fisherman. It helped but nothing will ever replace ball in glove, walking to the mound and thanking God I got to do this. Now I'm 70 and I thank God I can pee, use the tv remote and drag my sled out to fish most days. Play Ball! I do love watching models torment me though with prospects of extreme weather. I guess we all need a little adrenaline still in our veins whatever form it comes. Jumped out of an airplane for my 70th this summer. Now that was stinkin fun.

This has all fallen since 4pm yesterday. Storm total of about 36" now. Temps were Warner than expected which limited totals.

Big step toward the EURO for this GFS run. Now let's hope the Euro doesn't step away from the Euro.

We should start a weather forum softball league. No joke lol

Day 7

Not much snow melt on the deck today.

There will be more huge changes beyond day 10 I'm sure. I'm glad this run trended a little better in the mid range though. That is always better than improvements in the long range.

Noticeably more amplification into Alaska at day 7. Too early to know if that will make a difference here day 9-12 but I like seeing the little vort digging into the East side of the ridge near Jeanau.

Nice afternoon. 45/35 with .18” since midnight.

As a lurker of many years, I know how Jesse is lol. So no, I’m not gone. You’re all awesome and so are you Jesse. Just had to create some drama . It’s almost Friday people, be positive!

Not looking good for that poor Cessna....

Euro actually bottoms out at -15 for PDX. Been a while.

Last nights EPS: Todays:

Opened up the Euro and had to do a double take because I thought I'd accidentally opened the Canadian.

Uncle Ukie coming over. Staying for awhile. (staying the same)

All models agree on major cold entering the western US by day 9. Pretty sure that's a first this winter. Let's see if the 0z Euro keeps it going.

Giggity

10F colder than the previous run for this timeframe.

Seattle afternoon AFD: LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...An upper trough stays situated offshore into Monday with another frontal wave traveling around its periphery for another rather wet day. The upper trough finally moves onshore Monday night and Tuesday with precipitation gradually decreasing. As we approach the middle of the upcoming week, upper ridging seeks to establish itself just offshore. This potential shift in pattern will need to be monitored as we move into next week. It leads to a rather low confidence forecast for later Wednesday and beyond. Depending on the amplitude and placement of upper ridging offshore, it could open the door for potentially colder systems to approach the region in north/northwesterly flow aloft. This is reflected well in drastically different deterministic model solutions. A number of ensemble forecast model members are latching on to this possibility with some rather chilly temperatures just beyond the current forecast extended period. Stay tuned. 27

We should really form a support group for victims of Jesse downvotes.

Ummm.... Uh....... Best EURO/EPS run of the Winter. A long ways to go. Let's keep this going and move timing ahead little by little. Exceptional potential ahead. Onto 18z and I think the GFS jumps on board quite soon. I would MUCH rather have the EURO/EPS paving the way. C'MON!!!!

2/23/2017 was one of the more memorable weather days during my time in Lincoln. Up there with the February 2019 blizzard and the May 2019 tornado. The setup looked exactly like this. Had a severe t-storm in Lincoln where the main ptype was sleet.

EPS run is what dreams are made of for the week 2 period

euro ens control

Much colder Evening EC from last night:

-13c 850mb temps for Portland and Seattle, -22c for Spokane. Would easily be the coldest airmass since 2013-14.

I’ll take a 1000 Euros please

You must have missed the GEM and GFS yesterday. It's not so alone.

Just a bit snowy at the Tahoe airport this morning...

Hope this holds. The west edge can stay put. I had between -13 and -15 on my drive into work this morning. Incredible what a snowpack can do.

It’s basically already happened. -Jim

Gem is snowy!

The westward shift at day 9 is quite significant. Colder runs ahead!

2 more runs with the same trend and we'll be in the kold.

GFS through Day 6 another step towards the EURO

I'm canceling spring!

Baseball! Sized hail.

You guys would probably like my yard. I have a couple acres and have a lighted wiffleball stadium with 25' foul poles and a faux jumbotron. Some pretty good ballplayers would come by and hit, they started dominating me when I got in my 50's however. My competitive baseball ended after HS, had a torn labrum from football and it was back in the day before you could really do anything about it so that limited my baseball and football future. Ended up playing JC basketball instead.

That was also a super vortex/+NAM year. Getting cold south of the border was an arduous task.

Al Tahoe neighborhood South Lake

In only if it's a 70 and older league. Need oxygen, life support and a paramedic present at all times. Can I bring my boat though? It's my support animal. Ok back to weather. I've seen this forum take some crazy detours. This one is full of love. It was a wonderful walk down a path some of us dearly love.

It’s always best to get the first blast through the front door then second blast in back door for coldest temps but best snows happen with back door blast first then front door. Problem is that you risk having nasty ice storm instead

Starting to have a 2018 and Norfolk level of hatred for the Twin Cities lol

12z Euro shows the goods inside 10 days.

Nice looking. Too bad the Euro is standing alone.

This will be insane on top of the 8” I got 2 days ago! Hope the models continue with this trend
