January 2017 Observations and Model Discussion for the Pacific Northwest

Wow. Beaverton School District canceled school today. They are very poor decision makers. 

 

I'm going to be working until July at this rate. 

Yes, summer break might be renamed "4th of July weekend" in certain districts.  My wife hasn't worked since 12/21 in Sandy.  They're two hours late but she took a planned day off so the streak continues.  And, with more snow Wednesday, who knows?

Roads are covered in snow and ice here this morning and school is on time.   

[Jesse]

SCORE!

Unbrace yourself Yev. Winter is over!!

[Kayla]

Since the RPM uses much of the same data as the GFS it looks like the 12z is going to be quite snowy for the PDX area.

This further proves my longstanding theory that yuppies are simply superior genetically.

[FroYoBro]

12z GFS looks a little weaker/further south than the 6z with the low. Still shows Portland getting snow though.

I'm not Yev. Winter is not over.

Hopefully not a trend towards the NAM.

You just posted about it the other day though Yev. Remember? You said warm spells always follow cold spells like this and we were in for warmth and pineapple expresses the rest of the month. Have you changed your thoughts?

[BLI snowman]

GFS looks good.

I'm not Yev. I don't even know who that is? If you tell me who he is I'll answer your question Jesse.

I dont think it's him. Yev's been posting a lot on Facebook about the weather and it sounds like Heavy Snow took a much needed break.

 

Could be wrong though.

[Jesse]

Ended up with maybe 1/4" wet accumulation here. But man, it was really pretty coming down. Looked like something out of the 80s. Flakes were probably close to a half dollar sized at the peak.

12z GFS still dumps lots of snow.

he spells too good to be Yev.

Thank you. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

SCORE! Even Dolt gets another inch...

[Deweydog]

Keep Clark County green!

I consider Yev a friend, he's even been to my house. Great guy. I hope you guys aren't talking poorly about him.

I have a flight leaving at 10am Wednesday from pdx... I really genuinely hope this doesn't verify.

[Deweydog]

What's a Yev? Will a Yev help us get a decent snowstorm?

[Perturbed Member]

Take one for the team?

[FroYoBro]

That snow map is sexy for Washington County. I have jury duty on Wednesday. 

[Timmy]

Easy. He may be nice but he is hands down the biggest weenie, raunchiest, most antagonistic person I have seen in a weather community. I wouldn't waste a bunch of energy defending him. He has a thick skin (he has to with his extremely bullish "forecasting") and can take criticism.

[Timmy]

I wish I could! But I am really looking forward to this trip.

Spot on!

I hope you can make it out fine, there shouldn't be any ice problems. I don't know how much snow it takes to cause delays.

[Timmy]

Good question, anyone have any flight delay information? What would I expect with different thresholds of snow?

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Spot on!

Oh yeah you weren't at my place the time he came by. Lol

[Timmy]

Ironically it's snowing harder here now than it has all week! Down to 31 from 32, looks like I will see my first above freezing temp of 2017 today.

[Timmy]

Some of these showers are packing some decent winds there are many trees down that have a ton of ice on them still.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I flew out on 12/14, maybe an hour delay was all.

[Jesse]

[Jesse]

PDX back down to 32. ESE winds still blowing there as well.

 

We'll see if they manage to crack 40 today.

I actually have never dealt with the guy too much personally. I remember he used to post on the Fox 12 blog. I did hear from a few sources that he is Heavy Snow's secret identity, but who knows.

[Perturbed Member]

12z GEM looks nice.

I can tell you right now I'm not him and this is the last time I'm going to address that.

Looks pretty similar to GFS.  All systems go?
