For my location it hasn't been that great of a winter. Due to the cold maybe a B-.

Yeah, it is to bad. My location went from looking like there would be multiple chances for decent accumulations down to 2 chances, NOW according to the 12z GFS only 1 chance.

Don't worry it is beginning to look like this week will largely bust with the exception of perhaps Wednesday morning.

Just had a nice snow shower roll through and deliver a solid dusting of snow. Temp down to 33. Looks like 850's are only -3C right now. GFS had thickness hitting 528 from 1-7am. My general rule of thumb is that 528 thickness or below with onshore flow will deliver snow to my location, pretty much regardless of 850mb temps. Looks like it worked out again...

Some trees down in South Salem.

I remember back when I was fresh out of college working the graveyard shift as a direct care worker...Seemed like Hostel and Hostel II were always running at 2am. Probably the last time you would ever want to watch those movies.

SLE gusted to 41

About to watch American History X with the family!

My brother says he lost power in Silverton, I see some people on facebook from Aumsville saying they lost power too.

Radar really lit up. The cold front or SQUALL LINE is parallel to I-5 right now.

Pouring rain. No thunder.

I can see the back edge of the steady precip coming on shore now.

Totally down

Oh trust me, I am going to continue with my thoughtful and honest posts.

The early February event kind of turned my attitude around. My analysis I feel has not been quite as provocative since then.

Yet you are still here, and I am glad you are!

WRF still showing accumulating snow at my location. I think early Wednesday morning is probably my best shot at a decent snowfall. I don't expect more than 3-5" this week now, and that seems to be fading with successive runs. http://www.atmos.washington.edu/mm5rt/data/current_extended/images_d2/or_snow72.168.0000.gif

This argument is becoming inane.

There is a pretty clear sign for troughing around the first of March. The operational kind of goes off on its own there at the end though... http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/MT8_Portland_Oregon_USA_ens.png

I can only imagine what the climate was like up here at 1600'.

Eugene is going to easily hit the 6" mark for precip on the month today. They really needed it too.

Doesn't really even look like there will be much snow at my location this week.

The 12z continues the water down trend...

Picked up almost half an inch of rain already here this morning.

My brother lives between Silverton and Mt. Angel. He got 8.5" with this event.
