I have been lurking on this forum since 2008, and I have never seen any maps like the ones we are seeing.

Just read Jaya's tweets too. Something to watch with the GFS vs. Euro, etc.

My kids are skiing at Bluewood right now. Slope is 11 in of slush and ice, but it isn’t busy.

Lol.
I had a coworker where I worked named DJ. Lazy black guy that had an inverter in his work truck. He had a laptop and PlayStation hooked in and would show up for service calls and play video games instead. Never got anything done.
He and I partied a lot in West VIrginia until they threw him in jail for not paying child support to the 6 kids he had with 5 women. This is all a true story.
Thankfully we know he’s black or this post wouldn’t make any sense at all! :eye roll:

Woke up to a dusting of snow north of Walla Walla this morning.

Yeah... I was completely wrong with the northward shift prediction.
I am genuinely surprised to see a last minute trend south and also that it will likely stay cold all week.
And I am still cheering hard for everyone in Oregon!
Watch the Euro go north

It has been at least 30 years since I have seen this much snow. It is raining now and not fun to be outside. Made sure my drains are clear for the melt.

West end Tacoma heavy snow again. Crazy.

Snowing hard in west Tacoma and staying steady at 33 degrees. How long can it continue!?
Yep, west Tacoma here too. Dumping snow right now.

Jesus the BLI-YWL gradient looks to be 30-32 mb.
This would be nuts if verified.

3/6 Any of you old timers that still live here remember the 1989 and 1990 arctic blasts. These are the record holders for strongest gradient YWL-BLI. 1990 had a whooping 25mb gradient, 1989 was at about 24mb. These were truly intense events.
4/6 Both of these events sent crippling snow/wind into the Puget Sound and have been the hallmark of arctic invasions at least in the last 60 years or so.
5/6 This much talked about setup on Friday/Saturday is showing the potential for gradients OVER 26mb. Also, Model agreement is as good as I can remember seeing.
1989 was amazing. Only time I remember my dad telling me to go outside and check out the weather. I remember going to bed and it was raining, and to wake up with blowing snow and high wind. I will never forget it.
If we get a pressure gradient higher than those two events, we are in for something pretty amazing.

noon Saturday to 6 am Sunday snow for Seattle... crazy run. Druncle knows how to party
-
Rain
Probably. 18z does what 18z does.
-
Now I want to see what the 18z GFS is going to do for Friday/Saturday.
-
Seems like it only goes up right now.
True. Is there anyway to see what the BLI gradient will be Friday through Saturday? Yesterday's AFD had it at -29. Did that change?
-
Crazy run though. PNW would grind to a halt if this was to verify.
-
This won't verify. But I am going to savor this moment.
Agree. Model riding will be ups and downs the next few days.
-
Let's hope the GFS flops back to a colder solution for Friday night/Saturday.
I like how the Euro is starting things off on Friday too.
-
FV3 looks like rain or freezing rain south of Seattle as well for Saturday. Dumps north of Seattle though.
Models are going to flop around a bit so hopefully they will swing back.
-
GFS for Saturday is rain south of Seattle.
-
Seattle AFD regarding the weekend system:

PNW December 2022, winter might be coming; but mostly canceled.

It’s not “f’n fours” for nothin’. Hang in there.
