Good maybe we can trick our way into cold and snow. Beg , steal, or borrow. Take whatever we can get

I will be rooting for the only birds on the field. The great Bald Eagles!!!

the 06z showed positive 850mb temps now negative 3 . A nice improvement closer to GEM> http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/data/gfs/12/npac/850_temp_mslp_precip/gfs_npac_129_850_temp_mslp_precip.gif

12z gfs has turned markedly colder in 5 days and way colder with deep deep wraparound trough out 12 days. http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/data/gfs/12/npac/850_temp_mslp_precip/gfs_npac_372_850_temp_mslp_precip.gif

It seems the arctic front just can;t make it past the Coast Range in early Feb. Then it shows it pummelling all the way down to Mexico which seems more unusual than it coming here... Tired of our bad luck !!!

Yeah most the workers couldn't negotiate their way out of a wet paper bag. Nor find their own with two hands and a map/

Looks like the Omak walmart lot??? Watch out for all those CANUCKS ...

If there is that much question just 24 hours away. Then our chances of getting more snow this weekend are definately in play. I like our chances. Also I was thankful that my pledge from several weeks ago to make a snowman on Xmas eve with locally sourced snow came true. What are the odds???

They already got there's on Tuesday. Now it's our turn. Keeps heading south....After Seattle tonight, Next Portland

Yeah a great read. This wet bulb cooling in the Port Angeles area could turn out EPIC>

i LOVE IT. Snow level 100 feet I guess the top of my TV antenna will get lucky at least. .TUESDAY NIGHT...Breezy. Rain and snow showers in the evening, then cloudy with a chance of rain and snow showers after midnight. Snow level near 1000 feet decreasing to 100 feet after midnight. Snow accumulation up to 1 inch. Lows in the upper 20s to mid 30s. South wind 10 to 15 mph becoming northwest 15 to 25 mph after midnight.

That path brings damaging winds down the Strait of Juan De Fuca. Mukilteo has been torn apart in years past with similar trajectories. Hope the power stays on.

SHoreline to Mukilteo has a sweet spot as well as Maltby.... Best of the metro area thus far.

I notice a Straight of Georgia induced cz as well on that NAM animation. I remember a couple years back environs just east of Mount Vernon got 2 feet with a similar setup. This could end up being very wild....

The CZ is pummeling Stevens today

I love the mention of the BC Arctic Intrusion this coming friday morning. That will bring a beautiful deformation band/convergence zone that hopefully stalls around the Everett vicinity.

It's not too late too turn right. It hasn;t even formed yet. Maybe it will turn at Port Townsend and the Puget Sound gets a surprise tuesday morning. I have a feeling this week is going to far surpass our expectations.

Environment Canada just let the cat out of the bag. Issued at 11:18 Monday 18 December 2017 ...Snow likely over higher terrain on Tuesday... ...Flurries possible on Thursday... ...Colder after Thursday for the rest of the week... The weather will become more wintery over the south coast this week. On Tuesday a deepening low pressure system will track across northern Washington State close to the B.C. border. This system will combine plentiful Pacific moisture with cool easterly winds near the surface. The resulting weather will be a mixture of rain and snow beginning tonight over most South Coast communities. Snowfall amounts will vary significantly from region to region and especially with elevation. With the strong easterly low level winds, East Vancouver Island and Victoria will likely be the snowiest regions across the South Coast on Tuesday. Higher elevation passes like the Malahat and the Hump should see significant accumulations with at least 5 to 10 cm of snow expected. Communities away from Georgia Strait will also be the most likely to see some snowfall accumulations. Over the mainland South Coast there will be lesser snow amounts with about 5 cm of accumulation over higher urbanized communities. Howe Sound and Whistler will get closer to 10 cm Tuesday. Precipitation will ease Tuesday night and a break in the weather is expected Wednesday. Much of the snow that falls Tuesday will probably melt on Wednesday. A little snow is likely Thursday over the mainland coast as an Arctic front drops down from the BC Interior. The Arctic front will usher in much colder air for the rest of the week. By Friday night the lows will plummet to between minus 5 and minus 10 across the South Coast Daytime highs on Saturday will struggle to reach the freezing mark.

Behind the low, snow showers will continue in the mountains with a convergence zone developing from north of Seattle to about Arlington in the interior. 1000-850 mb thicknesses fall to below 1300 meters and 850 mb temperatures fall from -4C Tuesday evening to -6C Wednesday morning as the convergence zone weakens. An update was issued to lower snow levels Tuesday night and Wednesday morning with precipitation amounts moved toward the meso model consensus. This brings some mixed precipitation or maybe even some wet snow to higher hills as precipitation ends Wednesday morning. At this time it appears that accumulations will be limited to higher hills and will not be significant. We will be keeping a close eye on this as the event comes more into focus. Cool and dry air will move southward into the area on Wednesday with highs in the 30s and lows in the mid 20s to lower 30s. Albrecht

SUrrey , BC gets nailed in this map. The Arlington-Lynnwood CZ looks way underdone in my opinion.

Now now don't be a Negative Nelly. Or a Debbie Downer for that matter. I prefer the giggly and doey like Japanese Schoolgirls from Austin Powers.

I love new wrinkles.... LMFAO

First mention of snow levels at surface since last January. Good Times are ahead of us now!!!

.LONG TERM...A new wrinkle in the pattern brings a threat of lowland snow Thursday night and Friday. Models show the ridge offshore retrograding while a shortwave trough tracks S/SE into Western Washington. The cool setup is already here with the dry offshore flow, temperatures in the lower 30s and snow levels near the surface. Light accumulations are possible but exact details are still unclear since this system is still several days out. This system exits Friday afternoon with the threat of showers ending.
