Still a touch chilly in Everett next Friday morning in the latest GFS run. Not backing off.

[ShawniganLake]

GEM has a major snowstorm next Tuesday/Wednesday for whatcom county and BC. Before the real cold arrives

GEM gives us the Nugget!!!

All GFS ensemble members and all but one Euro member now calling for snow at YVR.

[Terreboner]

Perfect orientation of the ridge from the southcentral US to the Atlantic coast.  Even strengthens at the end of the run and backs into the southwest.  Crazy.

All Euro and GFS ensemble members now calling for snow at SEA.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Only one GFS member not calling for snow at PDX.

While keeping in mind the resolution on the ensembles is very low so terrain bled can and will be overdone.

I’ll take number 28 on the gfs Alex for a $1000 please.

Wow that reload on the GEM! Would be something if the other models started to catch on to something like that.

GEM is insanely snowy IMBY.

If that verified it would make 2008 look like nothing.  100 inches in Lake Stevens, lol.

Happy Thanksgiving!

60 inches in Bellingham sound about right.

The map is in cm.  Still a lot though

[TacomaWx]

We might go from wildfire smoke and relentless torching to an arctic blast in roughly 6 weeks time. This month wasn’t a slouch either with some lowland snow and a very cold average monthly mean.

I don't understand how that can be a meme, let alone a good one.

My area would put Buffalo to shame! 

[snow_wizard]

It actually managed to drop to 29 here this morning for the 16th freezing min of the season.

Meanwhile a wind gust to 66 in Corbett when PDX is having light NW wind.  I can't believe I've not noticed that place before when looking at the mesonet map.  It would be such a drag always having to make sure you don't leave stuff laying around that could blow away in that insane wind.  Not to mention having to bundle up when it's anything below 40 degrees outside.

What sucks is all the brown grass. It lurched from too dry for grass to grow to too cold for grass to grow in under a fortnight.

Divide inches by 2.58, lol.  Ok, 40 inches in Lake Stevens is still good.

Yeah....a really strange year.  I'm working on a 15 day running temperature average graph to show just how amazing the crash was this year.

Here's the map in inches.  This is one of the situations where Randy and Western WA can get more snow than even I do.  Normally I get a lot more.  Hope everyone can score.

[Terreboner]

I'm disappointed.  I was kind of hoping Carl Lewis would reprise his role as the greatest national anthem singer of all time!!!  Or Roseanne, honorable mention.

The western Columbia Gorge is really an incredible climate. I’m surprised it took you this long to realize just how windy it is there in the cold season.  The Vista House on Crown Point is even more extreme than Corbett.

I think we all know the odds of that verifying don’t amount to much. Still fun to look at for amusement purposes.

Only 22 inches in Bellingham,  wow what a bunch of dummies up there.

Hopefully some surprises with the pattern (usually is).  Would love to see one of the lows slide down off the Oregon/California border.  Think N/NE winds!!!  We can do this!!!

People in the Central Puget Sound need to keep in mind the models always screw us in these cases and it usually ends up fine.

No.  He'll get good snow and be happy with it, but those higher totals are in the Mountains.  Terrain bleed on the maps make it look more than it would be.

We had about 40 inches in about 30 hours last year.  And even though we are way more prepared for snow than most places, it was a bit too much.  Driving was very difficult, let along getting out of the house. Glad I experienced it once, but once was enough.  8-12 inches of snow works fine for me.
