FV3 is coming in. out to 72hrs so far, shows about an inch already in seattle by 4pm friday

jan 2017 PDX got a foot of snow. feb 2017 most of seattle got 3-4" (i got only 1.5"!) though there was 9" on the highest hills of west seattle. we didn't see a flake jan 11. i hope you guys don't get cold rain, but a foot of snow in seattle with nothing in PDX would be some actual payback.

would be payback for january 2017

my school district (sps) has a 2 hour late start tomorrow so far, if it isn't cancelled because of ice on the roads the school day is only gonna be 3 1/2 because we get out early on wednesdays lol

00z FV3 just began.

im tempted now to tweet @ NWSeattle and ask what their blizzard warning criteria is

yeah. evaporative cooling would likely take care of the temps with pushing them back down to freezing.

if it comes in while snow is still dumping, we could see blowing snow and maybe even blizzard conditions in spots.

euro is still 1 1/2 hours away

jesus harold christ, i see it

alright 00z gfs. 10-12" for seattle still

bottom line, gfs has precip in seattle from 00z saturday (4pm friday) until 18z sunday (10am)

gfs has seattle reaching a more reasonable temp for snow 4am saturday, around 32-33F

on which model snowmizer?

gfs has snow in seattle friday afternoon at.... 36F.

looking at the gfs closer on weathernerds.org

precip changing over to snow completely by early saturday morning

GEM is also starting to roll out. GFS out to 78hrs, has precip starting as mixed in seattle on friday afternoon

just noticed those snowmaps were from weathernerds lol

alright boys, 00z gfs is rolling

00z ICON snowmap is meh, 3-4" for both SEA and PDX (not to say that's a letdown, just excited by the 6-12" from the euro and gfs this morning)

looking a bit more at this morning's euro, YWL-BLI pressure gradient seems pretty D**n wild. roughly 30mb.

nice try, don't come in here depressing snow fans
