Is that a deformation band setting up from scapoose to Longview?

Looks like it and it looks like more are coming from the South still 

Another heavy ban of moisture coming up from the South 🌨

Took about a hour sleep. It's a sleet and snow mix but check out the winds 🌨

Heavier echoes can reflect warming aloft too though, hence the dreaded sleet.

Areas that stay snow with it will get a good pounding in the next couple hours.

I totally understand that. I've been doing this for 20+ years. It all depends on how thick the cold air is what you will get. When the moisture got to me, it was snow, not sleet. Just saying. 

It's snowing pretty good and I don't hear anything like sleet hitting the skylight. It's just snow. 

Check out what's coming up to Salem. Another band of heavy precipitation. Not sure if it will stay together by the time it gets to Portland area. I'm going to take a nap. Didn't really sleep well last night. It happens a lot when these events come up...lol.

That's a sleet profile Ken. 

I didn't say it was snow. I said precipitation. 

I want to say this is a deformation line forming. Precipitation rates are going to increase dramatically 🌨

Check this out everyone. Looks like the showers have formed one big heavy shower 🌨

This shows me as in the blue but we’ve switched to straight sleet for the last 20 minutes or so. Maybe we’ll transition back?

Not sure, probably yes when the low starts coming closer and goes south of Portland. 

Currently a heavy snow shower coming my way 🌨

A little clip of what's it's doing my way. Told you, snow is flying sideways 🌨 currently 14 degrees

Looks like the end of the low pressure is coming on the shore, is that true or is there more behind that the radar isn't picking up?

No, it's hard to see the low clouds but the last couple of frames, you can see low clouds. Also, you can see some Enhancement in the clouds. That would be heavier precipitation. 

Some lightning on the Eastside of Oregon

My snow is going sideways...lol

Latest radar loop. Most of you probably already noticed that you got sleet but now turn into snow. I knew this probably would happen. The upper air needed to aline with the lower temperatures. I believe we will see a big event today

Snow picking up in intensity here.

Didn't you have sleet earlier? 

Went outside, it was sleet and snow mix but it's more snow now. I'm waiting for the heavier precipitation to come over my area to see what it will be

I'm posting the current radar in high resolution and what type of precipitation (I think it's over doing this) and temperatures. 

I think there maybe sleet or freezing rain at first in places but with heavier precipitation and stronger Gorge winds, I think the precipitation will turn to snow in places. At least that's my thinking

Even tho the app says snow it’s really sleeting big time actually 

Here is the weather radar

Another radar update, it's going to be exciting soon

Rain coming down and 28 degrees, not freezing on concrete yet but certainly is on surfaces 

You sure it's rain? Yesterday it was very lightly snowing and it looked a little like rain but it was snow. If you are where you are, temperatures look to be colder than 28 degrees. 

It's a coming

Radar update. Precipitation is increasing dramatically. Things are changing fast
