BLI snowman Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Got it. So we actually want that low to be weaker. Pretty much. As currently modeled by the GFS, it's a pretty quick-hitting and low impact event for most of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeInEverett Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Really anxious for tonight.. Crazy to think if we end up with a good CZ I could get a good 4-6 inches of snow, and then have a good hard freeze and snow on the ground for a few days.. Or if the CZ doesn't form I get nothing. Gonna be lots of radar watching this evening. Quote (Previous name: MillCreekMike) Everett, WA (elev. 180’) 2023-2024 Snowfall: 1/11: Tr. 1/18: Tr.

Perturbed Member Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I knew that there was a real good chance that I'd see no accumulations from today but I didn't think that I would see zero snow falling. I don't think I've actually seen any flakes at all. Hopefully Thursday goes better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VancouverIslandSouth Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Looking at some of the observations in the BC interior, it would seem there's plenty of cold air to draw into already. Currently sunny here in Victoria and 35F, but there are some nice looking towering cumulus clouds rolling down the Juan de Fuca. This was the extent of the snow here, a short distance down the hill there's nothing:http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p286/jemeric/IMG_3685_zpsmxtu7k16.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairiedog Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Someone already mentioned Rod Hills forecast. He's got temps mid to upper 40's through the weekend without even a hint of east winds or any cold. No highs below 40 all week. What model is he locked on to? Seems to be a bit of a contrarian. At least Mark has Tues. Wed. in the 30's but then same as Rod's forecast for temps through Sat. Rainy, windy, and milder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
