TT-SEA Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Dewpoints are higher on Sunday on the 00Z ECMWF. Around 30 in Seattle and in the low 30s south of there... certainly not the unrealistically low dewpoints that the WRF is showing for that day.

HighlandExperience Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Total snow per the 00Z ECMWF. I did not paint this map. It comes from the best model available to us. If you don't want to know what it shows then avert your eyes. The heavier snow south of I-90 is not showing up on this run. Reminds me of the last two events in December.

That is a significantly incorrect statement now based on the ECMWF. Yeah, all major models shifted tonight, no denying it. However, earlier runs were definitely showing a much more significant blast of Arctic air than anything seen this year or awhile before. Jim was not out to lunch based on that.

I have never seen an event fall apart like this at the last minute. We are literally 24 hours away from everything started and the models had shown rock solid consistency until next Thursday/Friday...No reason to think it would fall apart. Then it all did in one model run, every single model shifted, even watering down the first "event." Yeah its better than a lot of recent Januaries, just so disappointing compared to what was being shown, a string of 4-5 sub freezing highs just is not going to happen.
