At our new spot about 850’ in the west hills and it’s all snow for the last 30 min. No idea what will happen, but this was much earlier than forecast. Kids coming home early after school. Not risking getting stuck on the roads. Maybe Mark busts again? Giving me the 2017 vibes.

It happens consistently to me when I’m on my Verizon data plan (but not AT&T), so that makes sense.

Ugh, well after 6 days we finally lost power last night too. The west hills are a disaster - it was hovering around 28 all night and looked like a thick glazing on everything again. So now no water and no power and no ETA on either. Luckily we escaped yesterday morning before the ice started again and are holed up in a 600 sq/ft apartment with two kids and two dogs. Fun times! But we have power and water, and maybe school will actually happen today though What a storm! I’m still amazed at the persistences of the cold and big busts from the models (Aside from the GFS I think?) Wishing everyone else a speedy warm up and recovery.

Ugh this blows. Back below freezing and everything is starting to ice up again. We’re hoping to get a plumber out to fix the pipe, but it’s an ice rink right now.

This is cool, we are right on the edge of the warm and cold air masses, keep ping ponging between fog and 30 degrees and clear(er) and 37. Change happens almost instantaneously. Bad news is we had a pipe burst with the thaw. No water for us

Gross. Shocked again we haven’t lost power.

I’m guessing they extend this for at least east metro and west hills.

Yeah, you’re right. I noticed the south facing hills are about 4-5 degrees warmer than us on the north side. Interesting dynamics!

I think a lot of the Oregon members are without power! Once the warm air makes it, temps will definitely rise rapidly. The CRB is supposed to moderate today/tomorrow, so even with east winds it probably won’t be enough to freeze PDX again. That said, GFS has us pretty borderline through the weekend, so it could go on a lot longer than people expect

Still at 26 and now up to half inch of ice Really not sure how all this gonna melt off today as the NWS thinks. The warm air just isn’t coming north as modeled at all. At 600’ we should be mixing out before the valley and yet we’re still 3-4 degrees colder.

Ugh so sorry for what you’ve been through - sounds like a nightmare

BTW it’s now 5+ days with highs below freezing. I can’t recall that happening ever, but I’m sure someone here knows better than me

We’re hovering around 24/25 degrees with a solid .3” of ice. Given temp is well behind models, looks like a mess of a morning at least. South winds just never really materialized - winds continue out of the east predominantly. No AFD yet, so looks like PQR are scratching their heads about what to do.

22.3 and raining steadily. Probably .25 of ice on everything? Forecast now says we don’t get above freezing until 7 am
