In case anyone was wondering...

Wow, GEM says "what warm up?!" Some snow, 30 hours of ZR followed by more snow.

Oh look, another blizzard for southern Oregon!

It's going east.

Your aviator is throwing me off and I'll still be here. Nothing like trying to move in a snowstorm!

Whelp, we better get that pattern reset going sooner rather than later...

Anyone else see the 12z GFS Para?? Looked pretty interesting in about 6-7 days...

Down to 29 already. Midnight lows!

Noooooo!!

That's right! If they are gonna do it, today is the day. And Saturday.

31

Looks like PDX should stay below freezing pretty easily today with that east wind not easing anytime soon.

Yeah...lows are further offshore and weaker on this run. Ugly.

Starting to look that way isn't it?

1-2" with more on the west side. Definitely an improvement compared to the 00z.

Yes, it's comparing hour 6 of the 12z to hour 18 from last nights 00z. WeatherBell added it a bit ago, great tool. And yeah after I posted that I saw the the Puget Sound is also much colder than what it showed last night. Downsloping winds have been stronger for just about everyone it would seem.

Dewpoint down to 5º now at PDX. Pretty impressive. Going to be cold tonight.

This is hour 6 of the euro comparing the 00z 850mb temps to the 12z temps. Just another example how much the models continue to struggle with the influence of the gorge.

Euro just initialized showing nearly -10c at 850mb now over PDX. Last night it showed -8c for this time. Power of the gorge is a beautiful thing.

Euro definitely trended further north once again. If only we had a little more time!

Either that moisture is moving north faster or it's moving further north.

Wind chill of 10º. Brisk.

That's definitely true. No doubt we are much more affected here completely exposed to the Gorge and especially at 1,000ft which is usually right near the top of the cold surface layer.

We've already had 3 transition events to ZR here this winter and the last one absolutely destroyed the trees up here. Lost power for 3 days... So done with it. Honestly was one of the reasons for the move out of the PNW.
