Jesse Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 First wave of precip in the morning will be ice everywhere. I'm hopeful we can avoid the second wave being ice here in Clark County, might just be a lot of cold rain again here. Depends what part of the county. I am not sure how quickly we will mix out south of 18th Street and east of 205 tomorrow. Honestly I can imagine PDX scoring another sub-freezing high.

DareDuck Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 It still boggles my mind that Eugene scored a 7" snow event on the second day of spring, 2012. Such an anomaly. I usually consider winter pretty much over down here the 3rd week of February.I remember waking up around 4-5am to see the snow starting to fall and it just kept coming. My roommate and I went out to the park at 5am to play in the snow. That was such an incredible day for so late in the season.

Jesse Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 That was an incredible storm. It snowed 8.5" at my brothers in south Eugene, 4" in Salem and Silverton, and 20" up here. We must have had 2-3" here. After one of PDX's latest sub-40 highs on record. That was one for the books. All while the Midwest and East coast were basking in record breaking summer like warmth.

Honestly I can imagine PDX scoring another sub-freezing high.I doubt PDX stays below freezing through midnight tomorrow night. With such a warm air mass, just the precip rates themselves should initiate some mixing. Should be enough to get everyone away from the immediate proximity of the gorge above freezing once it gets going. Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

Should be enough to get everyone away from the immediate proximity of the gorge above freezing once it gets going. Mark seems bullish on this one. Going with a high of 31 at PDX tomorrow. I don't know if the warmer upper levels will mean a lot with a surface airmass with temps likely in the 20s at the onset of morning precip and DPs still in the teens. As long as the flow remains easterly that spells below freezing temperatures/freezing rain to me, at least through tomorrow night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I can imagine PDX scoring another sub-freezing high.Definitely possible. East winds may hold on until Wednesday morning. You will likely start as freezing rain with the heavier evening precip tomorrow. I think I'll be slowly mixing out by afternoon up this way, during the break between bands.

snow_wizard Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I stopped by Green Lake today and the ice was just over 2 inches thick. It was solid enough to feel comfortable walking on and I couldn't break all the way through even stomping repeatedly on the same spot. Pretty remarkable and something I wasn't sure I would ever see. Could well be the first time it has ever happened with no sub freezing highs. Impressive duration and consistently cold nights were enough. At least this means we are still due for a top tier Fraser River blast. The last one was really in Feb 2011. Jan 2012 would probably qualify in areas north of Seattle. 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!
