Winterdog

It's gonna be a stinker!

The moisture isn't lacking for Portland south on the 18Z. Looks like they might have snow on the ground going into the cold period and Christmas. How unnerving!!

Especially if the Huskies beat Alabama.

Exactly! The most likely outcome is one more brush with arctic air before March. If we happen to get lucky and it hits us more directly then Jim will be dancing on the bar top delighted by his forecasting skills.

My despair is perfectly placed. I remember many more of our lousy winters that had little or no snow up to this point.

I saw 16 flakes this morning, each providing a miniature snowscape of their own. Another winter memory I'll treasure for years.

Doesn't look like the northeast is going to bake around Christmas like it looked just a couple days ago. Quite a turn-around.

The clouds have already arrived from the north. 21 here but it won't be dropping more than a couple more degrees now.

Short lived but better than nothing!

Wonderful area. Moose have been seen around there and particularly in the swampy area between the highway and Bonaparte lake. I'll stop talking off subject now before I start getting flak.

Good to see most of the action going on south of Snohomish county... we wouldn't want to get spoiled.

I've spent some time in Cheesaw. Almost bought some property on Maryanne creek near there but was too dumb and too young to take the chance. I imagine you have visited the ghost town set up there in town and the old school house. Good fishing in Beth and Beaver lakes. We still occasionally stay at Bonaparte lake in one of the cabins. We have been going there for over 40 years.

23 here now but the satellite says high clouds will start moving in here within about 3 hours. Probably have a cloud modified low of 18 or 19. I hope this upcoming trip back to normal is as short as possible!

I just love being perched here between the arctic air and the snow. 34 and climbing here after a nice blanket of insulating clouds all night. They may hang around and help keep us cozy tonight as well. Bye bye from Neverland where sometimes the puddles freeze.

Potential sucks.

The Euro looks a bit colder than 12Z at hr 96. A colder pool east of the mountains for PDX to hold onto their snow (lousy bastards).

Well the GFS 0Z sure stinks for anyone north of Portland. The precip will have to make a huge jump to help us out up here in Neverland.

Haha we don't even get an overrunning event coming out of this thing at hour 156! Same old crap different year. Looks damp at hour 168!

That must have been the string of references you made to male gentitalia and the like.

This sucker could still turn north. Still in the clown range so anything can happen. Right?

We are so screwed! Somehow we have found a way to live in never-never land for snow. We don't even get colder, we just get no snow. North of us they get snow, south of us they get snow, east of us they get snow, west of us, on the Kitsap peninsula they get snow, the NAM was our only hope and now it's turned away from us.

Winds have switched to northeast at Arlington. Still 39 here.

Still in the clown range with this. Were talking 60 hours out, geesh!

The 4k NAM shows rain though for most of the sound lowlands.

Does it show any for the Arlington area? Never mind I just saw the map
