[jaya]

Haha, Eurasian wavebreak in the clown range! That'd put this regime on roids..I don't think the Arctic chill is going anywhere anytime soon.

 

Phil, what is a NAMT?  I'm not at all familiar with any of your terminology.  Please explain. Trying to learn,

Did you pull over just now to type this post?  

Pull over? Only mere mortals pull over. Jesse is immortal.

[Weather101]

Close to 6 inches here and below freezing

Took some pics today in North Vancouver while it was snowing.

Ottawa gardens eh? Where are you, Shawinigan!?

[TT-SEA]

Taken from window just now... probably another 2-3 inches with this recent band.    Still have the east wind and 28 degrees.

Never pull over or pull out..... Oh wait

Only 2 inches for me. This has been a lame snow storm. I'm more fortunate than some others though, so I'm not going to complain about 2 inches.

I'm really surprised that's all you got

[luvssnow_spokane]

Nope, that belongs to the EURO.

Lord GuFuS?

I wish. Perfect climate.

 

Just North Vancouver at 140' asl.

[luvssnow_spokane]

Temp just skyrocketing up tonight - jumped from 34 to 39 in about 25min.

You could be here in 30 minutes.

Lord GuFuS?  

 

Sure, why not.

NAMT is an acronym for North American Mountain Torque. As I'm sure you know, the mountain and frictional torques are exerted on/by the planetary surface on a particular axis and, long story short, disperse energy in such a way that the spatial distribution of atmospheric mass is affected.

 

Here's a good paper on what I'm referring to over the Pacific domain:

Temp just skyrocketing up tonight - jumped from 34 to 39 in about 25min.

My temp dropped to my shock after falling asleep on the couch for 45min. Was 33.4, now at 32.6 and the driveway slush froze up!

[Weather101]

D**n what part of town are you in? Rain/snow mix again here.

Richmond, we did really well today. I always seem to have different amounts then YVR, a real micro climate one you get away from the airport.

Really? I'm...ok with that!! Perhaps that is why I have not seen a temp spike?

[TT-SEA]

Snow during the day tomorrow...

I don't believe you. That is too good to be true.

I think so.

00Z ECMWF shows a band of snow moving through King County on Monday morning with the modified arctic front.

Whiskey on the rocks, 00z ECMWF and the 00z GFS while the girlfriend watches reruns of Friends is my new Friday night.  When did I become this???

Probably when your balls fell into her purse?

The day 16 GEFS is going nuclear with the Scandi-Eurasian wavebreak.

 

That's the ideal loading pattern for a -AO/weak PV down the road.
