That winter had its moments here.  Besides the excellent Nov and Feb events we narrowly missed getting crushed in January.  This one looks like a once in decade winter for blocking.  We shall see I guess.

Good. -NAO tends to occur in tandem with -PNA.

Particularly good for precip/storminess. Less of a N/S gradient.

Yeah....I believed the myth of -NAO being bad for us for a long time.  Maybe there was just a run of winters where that happened to be true and a lot of people kind of got the wrong idea.

I'll be shocked if you only get 2 inches.  I mean really astounded.

The EPS is only showing 2" but the OP is showing more than 12".  The GFS shows higher totals but it's the GFS.  Opportunities galore for the next couple weeks.

It's definitely not bad for the PNW, but it's also debatable how good it is. Lots of big events/winters that did not have much -NAO.

A forum for the end of the world.

Rainy and cloudy on Wednesday with a low of 21.    Makes perfect sense.   😀

I’ve noticed weather.com has been trending colder for that time period.

Had a very nice ice pellet shower that started turning everything white about an hour ago when I was out blowing. That was fun! 
And still powerless! The PUD must only have a holiday skeleton crew working this weekend. Over 12hrs now.

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!

Thunderstorm juuust north of Monroe right now. Really booming 💥 

 

Edit: and now it's hailing! Unexpected!

I saw that moving in while in Snohomish a bit ago. Huge dark clouds. Some ice coming down in the sun on the windshield on the edge of the clouds where I was.

That GFS snow map has been pretty consistent for a couple days now for Puget Sound area. Just the temps keep rising a degree or two each day in just about every model run. Big accumulations with heavy wet snow in borderline conditions is plausible and typical for marginal events like the upcoming week. Mid-30s for everyone, forever!

Have you seen the last 2 runs?  The temps are STILL ridiculous.

I think a GFS / ECMWF compromise is going to happen.  Interestingly the models seem to be in excellent on the dry / cold pattern for week 2 now.  Nothing resembling normal anywhere in sight.

Yeah...if anything this GFS run is colder than the 12z.

All in all, I'm more excited than anything about the way this is looking.  Tons of chances going forward and no typical crap pattern anywhere in sight.  The first third of December is going to be cold after the coldest November at least since 1993.

Uncle sobered up and removed the crazy arctic outbreak around days 8-10. 

It seems like we are getting close to a model consensus of no arctic outbreak from this pattern. 

Cold though.  Don't rule out that chance in week two.  A lot of EPS ensemble members have been really cold with that.  We are going to have numerous chances to deliver some truly cold air.  BTW the 0z ECMWF had very cold air spilling into WA at the end of the run as well.

I'm just happy it's still there on the Euro. Plenty of arctic air building in BC. Hoping a polar lobe will swing our way in future rubs. It's close
