Both of you guys shouldn’t directly or indirectly quote or make comments toward/about eachother anymore. That would solve the majority of the bickering the forum sees. As entertaining as it may be at times it doesn’t look good on either of you when you do it. You’re both good contributors and I don’t want either of you guys to be banned or leave. I’m sure nothing will change with me saying this…but the solutions are there.

Ended up with about 4” yesterday between the two storms. 11” this week and 34.25” for the season now.

I don’t get why people get so irritated and pissy when other people post over 200hr maps and comment what is shown on them. Everyone knows things will not play out exactly what an individual map shows, it’s the general theme of potential. Or I guess we could just go all Rich Marriott…That would be one hell of an exciting forum! Have a little fun people and relax!!

Sorry for the tangentially weather related post but it’s cleared out here after a day long drizzle fest.

I was cleaning up pics on my phone and wanted to snow you a comparison with snow on Mt Si. First pic was yesterday and second pic was the evening of January 12th. It can look wintry once in awhile!

I hope I’m still alive to see what 2040 looks like.

I wonder if it will snow again

Thanks to the rippin’ outflow here in the Fraser Valley—it’s calm now— it’s so dry that forecasted rain didn’t materialize. Took my lovely young ladies for a hike.

We all have a shtick here, not sure why he or anyone else would be treated so differently. I’ve just never understood how you can be so turtled as a battered climate wife victimized by the big bad sun lovers, but then immediately turn around and be so alpha male toward others because they don’t weenie right. Those of us who snark kinda have to expect a little (lot) of snark in return.

I've never interpreted anything Tim does as mockery. Maybe those warm EPS maps he posts when he's excited for the first heatwave of Spring lack some necessary room reading, but I doubt he's attaching much emotional baggage or putting any ill intention into what he says.

That NWS call was dubious. The models were never showing the mid levels being favorable. I thought the comparisons to 2017 were pretty crazy actually.

EPS continues to shows the eastward trend with the first trough. Quite favorable.

Let's see if we can regain some momentum on the 00z runs.

Your only reasons for posting here are if there is snow in your backyard or to jump all over me. Literally that is it. I like you Chris but don't get your obsession with me. If I was making underhanded jabs at you all day long then I would get your obsession with me. But I never do that. I never think about you until you come on here to attack me. Jesse is jabbing at me all the time.

Wow. I see we're doing throwbacks to middle school lunchroom factions today.

There have been single days in the past few weeks alone littered with dozens of personal attacks/mockery. Even Fred stepped in one day. I only see the stuff when it’s quoted, but man, I’ve worked pretty hard to build a teflon exterior with the stuff flung my way in a day to day basis. It’s almost endless. And during darker times in the forum, each one of those posts would have been responded to, leading to pages of arguing. One of us had to finally shut up. You can guess which one.

Mike Snyder appears to be excited about the coming pattern change into colder air.

Caught Fox 12’s Weather Podcast over at a friend’s house the other day. A lot of talk about the winter storm warning bust over Valentine’s. Mark was fired up about the NWS. There’s a lot that he’s definitely not wrong about, but he sure is becoming a curmudgeon in his old age. He even threw some shade toward weather geeks posting misleading pepto maps on forums. Pretty sure he was talking about us. I forgot the guy’s name in the middle, but he seemed nicer, more forgiving of the NWS, and generally more snow friendly.

12Z EPS is much deeper with second trough compared to 00Z run.

Looks like a pscz.

Significant lowland snow event in the overrunning ahead of the low at the end of the run.

The GEFS has the trough axis way further west than what the EPS has been showing as we get toward early March.

GEM looks really nice.

You say that like its a bad thing. How about we shoot for all of Florida being under water. Arizona has water issues...has had water issues for a really long time, yet people keep building there like there is no tomorrow. Sounds like a self-inflicted wound

Could we get this post moved to the appropriate thread. It’s cluttering up a great read this evening.

I look forward to our warm spells... that is 100% genuine. And I despise summer heat and fires and that is also 100% genuine. I am not going to ignore warm EPS runs because that reality might offend a few people. There are enough people on here who want to fully discuss the upcoming weather patterns regardless of personal preferences.

Is this why you constantly make Tiger your punching bag? This post would carry a lot of rational weight if you didn’t yourself wade deep into the waters of double standards.

A little tidbit....as most of folks on this page know, Philomath Oregon is pronounced fah-loh-muth (something to that effect.) There is also a Philomath in Georgia, a little bit south of Athens, and it is actually pronounced fi-low-math. It's actually referenced in the first and 3rd verse of the REM song "Can’t Get There from Here" When we moved out here, we landed in Albany, but spent most of our time in Corvallis since our goal was to go to OSU. It took us a little while to connect that fah-loh-muth = fi-low-math. There's your useless fact for the day. Carry on.

When Mark was wishing for some snow-free hiking, I doubt he was rubbing his palms together daydreaming about sawing down half the Santiam old growth. Nor was he thinking about all the ways in which a well timed heatwave during his summer vacation would melt away the remnants of the White River Glacier.

There is no double standard. We literally don't control any of it. Heat... floods... blizzards... hurricanes... earthquakes... cloudy summer weekends... sunny summer weekends etc. etc. etc. And nature has no morality. You are all about forced moral outrage. You love to pointlessly create villains.

Some highlights from the CFS.

Yeah the fat cats get to pollute like crazy while it gets pinned on the little guy to drive less and separate their recyclables so Taylor Swift can buy some karbon kredits.

Too long? Wtf are you talking about. Call nature 1-800 line and complain.

Some serious threats lurking out there. It's also noteworthy the EPS mean for low temps in early March for SEA is in the low 30s.

Is that the town where Phil invented math?

Yeah I agree, it’s not like Jim is saying it’s going to happen exactly like those +200 hour maps he knows that. It’s just fun to see some potential atleast way down the line with some of these good model runs at the very least.

Something kind of funny, when GFS said cold after the 16th at the start of feb, the CFS weeklies said warm. Now the GFS says warm and the CFS weeklies say normal to below normal. They have contradicted each other the second half of February and that doesn't look to stop. That said I'm fully expecting a blowtorch.

It's gonna snow. Going to be a historic late February and early March, mountains get buried, lowlands get a lot too. The biggest snowstorm will be leap day, because it will be our extra chance this year to keep the February streak alive. Seattle will end up with 7" of wet snow in that stretch, Portland with 8", Salem with 13" Eugene with 12". I'll get 30". We'll get the mountain snowpack to 150-200% by the end of March, and then we'll get great weather till fall. And from then on, everyone will think El Nino is what we need to get a good mountain snowpack. 22 degrees now, snow depth is up to 9.5", I said a couple days ago I'd be disappointed in this week unless my depth passes 10", looks like we've got a good chance. Good night!

BC Slider baby! Everybody scores!

Day-um!

Baker had to cancel the banked slalom competition this year, and the Memorial Ski to Sea Race just announced they are already planning a no-snow contingency for the cross country and downhill portions of the race. They are hoping to get enough late season snow to make it so they don't have to go to plan B

1 month ago today, still solid snowcover on roads. The snow on roads lasted for over a week at least in side streets, I think the freezing rain on 1/16 and light glaze on 1/18 helped it stay longer. I was surprised at how well it lasted though even with temps above freezing and rain

For awhile early on to me being here I honestly thought they were friends in real life or something and it was all some type of elaborate inside joke. I guess on a certain level it kind of is one big inside joke

I'll come back later when weather is being discussed.

This is going nowhere FAST! Just like our winter! Lolz!!!!

I think you mean a step forward

Well good!! Bring the heat and lake days then!!

I'm not going to look at it, but I'll tell you how it goes Andrew!

Dog walk..
