westcoastexpat Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Great reports coming in! Can clearly see some CAA causing some instability off the coast. I'm going to guess that the precip over the north will be more like Monday with on and off heavy snow showers as opposed to uniform precip. The GFS/NAM/HRRR/RAP suite continue to suggest that the dry air will dominate, only to turn to rain once the precip actually starts falling. Pretty much a big middle finger to the face. The Canadian suite continues to be incredibly bullish with 10" of snow today (and another 12" tomorrow). It's kind of hilarious to see such consistency from both sides, and both sides have incredibly different outcomes. I think the drier group is being too stingy with precip, but the Canadian output is obviously too juicy. But the instability will certainly make for an interesting afternoon. I'm still sticking with my 4" call for this first wave. The second wave looks to arrive on Saturday, where it looks like precip will be for sure, but the question is.. rain or snow? I'm holding my call for an additional 4" on Saturday but it's also a very tough forecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-SEA Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Awesome pics! Only about an inch here... Jared was right about my area. So glad that other places scored though. Schools are open out here as well despite the fact that its 25.8 degrees and snowing moderately now. .

snow_wizard Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Man the models are horrible with these situations. It was supposed to be in the low 40s a few hours ago, and yet I'm sitting at 31 with a decent easterly breeze still going. Huge underestimation of how deep and plentiful the cold air was in the Cascade valleys. The pathetic amount of snow I got is still there. I am tired of getting cold snaps with almost no snow.

crf450ish Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Flurries here right now. Got a dusting overnight to add to the inch that blew around a few nights ago . Looking like some serious arctic air is going to invade the areas over here. NWS is calling for lows near or below zero with highs barely reaching double digits around here. It'll be interesting to see how cold the Purcell Trench gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
