January 2015 Observations for the Pacific Northwest
ShawniganLake replied to Skagit Weather's topic in West of the Rockies
More interesting than the gfs.http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/ecmwf/2015010200/ecmwf_z500a_namer_10.png- 3540 replies

After Mondays system clears, the first half of January is looking like it could be a total snoozefest on the GFS. Mild too.- 3540 replies

Looks a shade milder for sunday morning to me. Still showing some snow up near the Canadian border on the WRF- 3540 replies

Has it really been 10 years. Ouch. I'm feeling old. 29f currently. Looks like it might snow here this weekend. Then it will rain.- 3540 replies

Looks like NO edit. As in improvements over the 12z. Could be close first thing in the morning for some wet snow- 3540 replies

January 2015 Observations for the Pacific Northwest
ShawniganLake replied to Skagit Weather's topic in West of the Rockies
Looking that way right now. Gfs is pretty bullish hanging onto near freezing or below 925mb temps, easterly winds, and a fair amount of precip. Higher elevations around nanaimo could get 8-10" if that panned out. Looks like 2-6" down here. I would be worried if I lived near the ocean, might be tough to see actual sticking snow.- 3540 replies

Euro is going nowhere fast through hr168. I gotta think those promising analogue composites are a bit misleading considering they are based off of GFS modelling and the models have been struggling lately. I guess we will see.- 3540 replies

Nice and chilly. Second straight night that it has been partly to mostly cloudy here. Screwed up any chance of seeing lows in the teens. Currently low clouds and 29F. -

Canadian ensembles in the long range trending poorly as well. Tonight http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/gem-ens/2015010100/gem-ens_z500a_namer_45.png Same time frame 36hrs ago looked like this. http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/gem-ens/2014123012/gem-ens_z500a_namer_51.png -

Not sure, looks like us Canadians are only willing to share with people that live within shouting distance of the border. -

Looking at the 6z nam it seems like that positive trend may be continuing. Looks to me like the area of low pressure north of Hawaii is wanting to slip back south, keeping it and the short wave south of Alaska as separate entities. This could be important in maintaining a stronger block. -

Canadian Ensemble has also been indicating the likelihood of western troughing in the long range. http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/gem-ens/2014123012/gem-ens_z500a_namer_51.png -

http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/MT8_Vancouver_Kanada_ens.png Not great, but not bad. quite a few cold members in the longer range. Interesting to see the mean drop down to -5C this weekend. Havent given up on some snow up here this weekend. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/MT8_Seattle_USA_ens.png http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/MT8_Portland_Oregon_USA_ens.png -

ShawniganLake replied to stuffradio's topic in West of the Rockies
Seems like people are getting a little desperate for some snow around here. All I can say is that things could look a lot less promising for January than they do right now. I still quite like the chances for some type of snow event before mid-month. Last year at this time January was looking like a write-off, and it ended up being one. -

It's probably unlikely but it wouldn't blow my mind if we suddenly saw the models start trending colder for the Saturday-Monday period. Seems like an arctic event is off the table for the time being though. -

Some spots in the Greater Victoria area, exposed to the NE winds, failed to record a freeze last night. You could have done worse.
