You can get a remote sensor thermometer for less than $30.00 that is pretty accurate. I have three thermometers. One is a weather station, one is a remote sensor thermometer, and one a mercury recording thermometer.

Nice!

It didn't freeze there a few days ago? How did you manage that?

A couple of coastal weather station on the BC coast are having insane winds with temps below freezing. Cathedral point is gusting 69 and Sartine Island to 66. Very wicked outflow.

Getting some snow and rain mixed here now. WSW flow is hooking the moisture around the south end of the Olympics now.

Looking at the ECMWF ensemble 500bm anomaly map I see why the cold keeps getting extended. A PV lobe breaks off and ends up over Sask. That wasn't shown before. The EPS also indicates the blocking will become more amplified again just after day 10 setting up another blast opportunity. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

Sea - Tac records began in 1945.

Down to 5 in Williams Lake now (with wind). The Fraser outflow will be cold tomorrow.

I think the very low dp winds blowing off the ocean is the big surprise. That eliminates any chances for rain. That will also make it hard for any areas having precip tomorrow to be much above freezing.

Areas further south will get snow in the morning.

I think it's highly possible the afternoon temps will be colder than progged tomorrow given the way things are unfolding.

The maritime air being that dry is really going to help make it cold enough for all snow later tonight and tomorrow. I can't imagine rain anywhere in the northern 3/4 of WA tomorrow...probably not even the extreme south.

Everything is turning to snow on the radar now. Cold air is certainly taking over faster than expected.

They'll get a handle on it.

I'm beginning to think the next 10 days could average 10 or more degrees below normal. That would be insane, but very possible.

The Euro has this area getting snow too.

850s still at -10 on Thursday on the ECMWF! Holy sheeit!

A couple of really good signs...Forks has a dp of 29 with west winds and northern Whatcom County has already fallen to the low 30s with ENE winds. No way we have to worry about rain by late tonight.

Truly amazing! The ECMWF now has snow on Tuesday with 850mb temps still at -10 and afternoon temps only in the low 30s. This thing is looking simply amazing.

The Fraser outflow will be interesting to watch. Most models show Bellingham only right at freezing by 12z. It could easily be colder than that. If so it could be REALLY good for us.

Looking at the sat pic I would almost bet a crisp $100.00 bill we have snow in the morning. Looks fantastic IMO.

Just wait until the low sags a bit south. Any minute now...

Precip type is going to snow in the hills south of Bellingham and in the Black Hills of Grays Harbor County. It has begun!

Chilliwack now 33 with snow. The wind shift has gone west of there too.

The GFS is thing of beauty. Just one wave of cold after another. Really quite epic for this late. Might be kind of like 1955 for duration.
