Heavy Snow Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I think 6" is about the highest realistic total at this point. We'll all be happy with half that.Yeah, I'd definitely take 6". Parts of Western Washington County could possibly see more due to the "Forest Grove Effect", Columbia County and near Gorge too. The first snowstorm in February 2014 absolutely hammered the extreme W and NW areas if we consider them to be part of the Metro area.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Agreed. Buuuut, I honestly wouldn't rule out 7 or even 8" (not a forecast...yet!) for some with the current trend in the models. Going to be tough to get accurate readings with all that wind ripping in from the east! Given climo I would say a 6"+ event at PDX is unlikely.

Going to be tough to get accurate readings with all that wind ripping in from the east!Central Clark County is nice because we largely can reap the benefits of the outflow without having to deal with the constant and stronger winds. Makes the snow far more enjoyable and in some cases heavier as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Ranger Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Speak for yourself. Tinder makes it awfully easy now. Definitely true though about snow. Something about suffering through so many snowless Winters and near misses make it absolutely magical when it finally happens. There will never be anything quite as special as the transformation the Pacific Northwest goes through during a snowstorm.This is why I still rabidly follow winter weather there. I lived the hunt and occasional glory for 25 years. It sticks with you. Quote A forum for the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the snow far more enjoyable and in some cases heavier as well. Yeah that is nice. Here at the top of the West Hills (where we can literally see the airport and gorge) we usually get slammed with the outflow in these events so nothing really piles up except of course in eastern facing areas. We sit right at 1,000ft which is usually still low enough to stay below the surface cold layer so freezing rain becomes a big issue in these transition events as well. But I'm not complaing! We love it up here. 1 Quote Cold Season 2023/24: Total snowfall: 26" Highest daily snowfall: 5" Deepest snow depth: 12" Coldest daily high: -20ºF Coldest daily low: -42ºF Number of subzero days: 5 Personal Weather Station on Wunderground: https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KMTBOZEM152#history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bainbridgekid Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Central Clark County is nice because we largely can reap the benefits of the outflow without having to deal with the constant and stronger winds. Makes the snow far more enjoyable and in some cases heavier as well.It was the same way at WWU in Bellingham. Close enough to almost always benefit from Fraser outflow, but blocked from the strong winds by the hills to the North. Snow is so much more enjoyable when it stays caked on everything than when it's blown all over the place. 1 Quote Everett Snowfall (510 feet elevation) Snow since February 2019: 91" 2023-24: 6" 2022-23: 17.5" 2021-22: 17.75" 2020-21: 14.5” 2019-20: 10.5" 2018-19: 24.75" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
