SnowHawks

Ok so for us casual observers, is this a good trend or bad?

Do you think they could move it up a week for Christmas?

NOAA in their long range forecast discussion is hinting at possible pattern change in the latter part of next week. It was somewhat cryptic so the specifics are in the tea leaves.

A 1985 redo would be awesome. Not only did we get accumulating snow region wide, but also Frazier river outflow, so the snow stuck around for days. Coldest Apple Cup I ever attended with sub freezing high and wind coming off Lake Washington.

Thanks. I seem to recall when i was young that our big snow events(region-wide) the weather forecast would show lows associated with cold air masses sliding down from Canada. If I recall correctly the December 1996 snowstorm set up in a very similar pattern. It just seems that we deal with so many dry air masses. Or if we do moisture with a cold air mass it is hit or miss as to where there is going to be accumulating snow.

Looking forward to chilly weather. So from what I understand a classic snow situation for the Puget Sound would have to be a low circulating moisture off the coast or some type of over-running event. Is it possible for moisture to slide down the BC coast so you would have to deal with convergence zones or battle with cold air and warm pacific air?
