Front Ranger Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I hate to blame Snow Wizard for the bad luck the Puget Sound region has seen this winter, but I think it's pretty clear that his rage-filled tirade after the first bust of the winter was bad karma. No other way to explain how many times Mother Nature has teased, but failed to deliver. Truly uncanny how close it's been time after time. 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world.

luterra Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Tail end of the heavy stuff passed me around 10 pm, over Salem now, probably will clear Portland 12-12:30 at this rate. I would not be surprised if everything after that is pretty anticlimactic. With the low inland and starting to fill, the main low-level moisture tap should be cut off. 1.31" of rain in Corvallis today - that is at least double any model or NWS QPF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Supercell Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Portland NWS lead forecaster just reported thundersnow for the first time in his 22 year career. Also mentioned 4" per hour snowfall rates in that band earlier. Insanity. I've only experienced 1 thundersnow in my life. 05/06/2015 in Klamath Falls. There was another here reported back in 2004 but that was well before I came here. I don't recall when the previous one was before 2004.

Truly some special stuff happening in Portland tonight. Soak in in guys. Looking like a once or twice a decade type storm.Same here. Hope we can join in their joy this winter.

Front Ranger Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Barring something weird later tonight, this may end up being one of the most Portland-centric storms on record. Pretty sharp cutoff of major accumulations to both the north and south.
