Forever and ever, amen

Hour 352 is gonna be awesome

The beatings shall continue until morale improves

I'm moving to northern Japan

PDX metro might hit the jackpot and get 0.5”!

I need to feel the bitter cold on my bare nipples before believing.

We’ll take anything we can get!

Is the moisture over for PDX ?

Please no

Well, biting the bullet and heading to Home Depot to buy an 8000w generator. Too many old trees around, and this ice storm on Friday looks legitimately problematic.

I haven’t seen the maps, but I think you can safely cancel your Friday plans if they’re near PDX metro. It’s gonna be nasty.

That'd be nothing less than catastrophic given the east winds out of the gorge

Much easier but that didn’t sound as dramatic

Everyone here from PDX should go in on a timeshare in Buffalo.

Happy for my friends in the PS area, but d*mn is it frustrating to feel like Portland will never get a real snowstorm again.

Maybe they'll see harsher winters as a result. It's a complex system.

A half inch of ice two days before Christmas is brutal.

How often are below-freezing 2m temps this much lower than the 850s?

The moisture for us comes on Friday, when the 850s are too warm, which = ZR. The models have consistently shown PDX getting screwed, so nothing has changed in that regard. More low-level cold on Thu/Fri, I guess.

It’s currently 42F in Rufus, OR (just east of the Dalles). 20 miles to the east it’s 25F.

Really need that to keep trending south. Day 4 850s feel like the only trend worth watching on those 12z runs.

A 9 degree drop in 30 min...

What do the 850s look like in PDX on Thu/Fri?

15 degree difference in some places lol what's even the point

So what we’re rooting for is the upper levels to cool a bit, but that doesn’t seem real likely.
