No good. Dump that one and let’s stick to the GFS!

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

I remember that one very well. First temps in the single digits I’ve witnessed when I was old enough to know what was going on. Lots of icing on local rivers. Plus cold is just fun on its own. There are a lot of people here who like heat along with nothing else.

As has been mentioned, we had a very nice overachieving snow event in the Portland area later on that month as well.

Just depends on what you’re interested in. Me personally I’d prefer a 30/20 day with a few inches of snow over a 25/15 day with none. Either is pretty dope though!

A lot going on next 10 days with so many chances. 00Z GFS is showing 4° to 6° F next Saturday morning SE of Everrett. Monroe, Snohomish, Lake Stevens. Reminds me of one of the recent (2019 or 2020) events when both GFS and ECMWF way over did the cold to similar single digits, then warmed up to upper 20's in later model runs. Yet it still got just cold enough for multiple good snows. Hoping for the modified arctic front + multiple precipitation events.

It is nice to see the GEFS and EPS are BOTH trending colder and the GFS isn't on its own like usual.

Yeah it’s definitely nice to be seeing that. The more I see them trend colder the more confidence I have in this happening. I feel like this could be as good as last December snow wise but maybe not temp wise.

Eugene didn't get screwed at all in 2008. It just wasn't the epic once in 30 years type system that it was for Portland and other areas. We got about 4-5 inches of nice dry snow and 3-4 days of subfreezing temps. A very good event.

Yeah you're right, I guess they just didn't do as well as the rest of the region but still pretty great then!

The first type of day followed by the second would be ideal!

Sorry Moss. Let's pretend we're playing my son's favorite game, Minecraft and go with the many GEMs. I like the Gem better for my location and run to run changes too.

Currently I'm in Spokane and we have the freezing fog and there's still snow in the parking lots from yesterday. Not looking forward to waking up in five hours to catch a flight but model riding is fun.

Currently debating whether or not to cancel our return stay at this airport hotel on Saturday night or drive back through snow showers on Sunday.

One thing to note is that any precipitation or any details to look at is a BONUS. The key ingredient is getting the Arctic airmass in place first, the details will then iron itself out. By looking at the overall trend (for now) and the ensembles, I feel a lot more confident this time around than what we saw last month in the intermediate range. 

But knock on wood, @GHweatherChrisracoons are always lurking.

I wouldn't say BC is torching.   Maybe Northern BC but not the South.

Maybe just a Yukon torch. Btw I saw your post to NWS Spokane and way to go on the snow you got. Was there any significant melt today?

I don’t think most people even remember the December 2009 arctic blast. Pretty decent on the temps but no snowfall in an overall garbage winter. 09-10 and 15-16 are the only winters I’ve seen here not even manage to have snowflakes in the air. 

Dec 2009 was really cool here. I have memories of playing with my dad on the ice that never melted. Very dry but very, very cold.
