Dave Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Lower level cold air loves to get stuck in Eugene. How much ice do you have?It's hard to say because there are two layers of it with snow sandwiched in between, but I'd estimate at least a third of an inch on top.

BLI snowman Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 It seems like that temporary though, temps around the normal wind areas popped just briefly but all seem to be going down again with e. Cooling going on. PDX is still at 33, VUO at 34. Temp up just below 32 here, ice not really accumulating on a number of surfaces. Seems like the Portland area mostly dodged a major ice bullet, further east of I-205 notwithstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Is this a downsloping issue? Precip intensity? Why the ice storm bust? (I know it's still pretty messy in spots, but it's not what it could have been) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know it's still pretty messy in spots, but it's not what it could have been)Deeper than normal offshore flow. Wind is blowing here which is extremely indicative of the fact this is beyond just a gap wind. The deeper offshore flow can create some compressional warming as well as simply grab some of the mid level warmth. 1 Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

(I know it's still pretty messy in spots, but it's not what it could have been) More continuous precip would have helped, I think. The long break last night led to temps being able to inch up a little faster, while our low level source has been gradually eroding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know it's still pretty messy in spots, but it's not what it could have been) I suspect it has to do with the very warm 850 mb temps coupled with easterly 850 mb flow which is downsloping and merging/mixing with cold easterly gorge outflow. The GFS seems to have a pretty good handle on this.http://wxweb.meteostar.com/sample/sample.shtml?text=kpdx Question will be what happens when upper flow turns southwesterly with gorge winds continuing, though steady at 33 might be more likely than a return to ZR.

For many in the area this one will fall well short of expectations. Portland/Gresham/Troutdale are in a different ballpark, 28-30 looks common once you get south of PDX which means the ice will be fairly ubiquitous.

Looks like a bit of a mess, to me. I suspect for lower elevations precip type will fluctuate a lot with precip intensity after 1am or so. Probably just a lot of 33-34 degree stuff. Could be something a little heavier towards morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DareDuck Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 It just keeps coming. Snowing heavily in Bend, only 10 degrees but you can tell there's warming aloft as the flakes are bigger than they've been all week. About 6" yesterday and about 1" this morning.

VancouverIslandSouth Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 1/4" of snow here last night. Nice! Sounds like the precip was able to overcome the dry air up there.
