When does all this snow on the EURO supposedly fall? Wednesday night-Friday am next week? At hour 240 the EURO is WAY worse than the GFS and GEM. The GFS shows us getting slammed with another cold trough, and the GEM shows it about 24 hours away from hitting. The EURO isn't even close.

I had a 3 day precip total of close to 10.27". On the 17th I received 21" of snow, with a daily high/low of 32/29 so it was extremely wet and melted down to 2.93" of water. Then the 5.38" of rain on the 18th and another 1.96" of rain on the 19th. For the month I had just under 20" of precip.

Kind of explains why our Januaries have sucked.

DEFINITELY not as good as the 06z ensembles.

Ensembles are pretty meh...

February 2011 was great up here. I would go for a repeat.

Warm February?

12z GFS is fine. Some snow at "my location," some low snow levels in general. Cold onshore flow/La Nina look. Nothing to exciting overall though.

12z GFS is way faster with that trough...Interesting.

My location would do well if this verified...

ORCHARDS?

GEM has the cold trough, its just not as quick, though the GFS has a better SE ridge (GEM has none).

Phrase of the day: Maritime Polar.

I am fine with it, from a sleep perspective. I do end up forcing myself to stay in bed sometimes because I don't want to wake my fiance up. So in some sense I wish I could sleep more because I end up waking her up super early a lot of times. But I feel fine.

That mid-week system is still looking good...

Even as a teenager I did not sleep in. Also I gave up alcohol use about 7 months ago...I have found I get much better quality sleep and need less since then.

I generally get about 4-5 hours a night, it is all I really need. Anything over 6 hours and I'm dragging the next day.

6 years ago on this date I had 5.38” of rain fall, this fell on top of 26” of snow depth which had about 4.5” of snow/water equivalent. The result was massive small stream flooding in the Central Willamette Valley. 4.02” of rain fell at Corvallis. The communities of Turner, parts of South Salem, and Albany experiences the worst flooding. In Albany two people drown when their car was swept away in a grocery store parking lot when a small stream over flowed its banks. There was not widespread mainstem river flooding, but the Willamette did crest above flood stage at Salem and Albany.

Still slightly below average on rainfall for the month at 5.28", but that will be above normal easily by the end of the weekend. Temps running about a +6 departure now on the month.

Picked up 1.40" since yesterday at 5pm.

The end of the GFS isn't bad for the PNW.

Raining incredibly hard this evening.

Active run.

Pretty solid up herrrrr....

18z was decent in clown range...
