January 2017 Observations and Model Discussion for the Pacific Northwest

[Bryant]

Is there a 'Panic Its Snowing in Seattle' Twitter feed? Where do see all these "reports"?

It's almost as if it bothers you...

I want to follow along as well... and she posts these 'reports' like she is monitoring a scanner.  

[Front Ranger]

Decent echoes near Jim, seem to be increasing though hard to tell with radar being wonky. Would nice if he could get a little on the ground going into the real cold.

Did you keep your snow today?

Over me as well but nothing falling.   I checked the traffic cams and nothing seems to be falling there either.

You can go on twitter and instagram and look. You might be to old for that.

She is now on the payroll of Andrew's private reporting network.

Possibly... look for what specifically?

[Jesse]

Too bad that band near Wilsonville isn't 20 miles north.

Yes... he is another one.  

[TT-SEA]

I found this one from this morning...

If anyone cares Maple Valley is blanketed in snow while Covington is just soaked

[FroYoBro]

Yeah, looks like fun. It has been sitting there for a couple of hours now. This is really too much like gambling.

Good god Tim, I bet the first search you did included Covington, just because. WOW, you can't spin this one, no coincidence or anything.... LOL

[Phil]

It would be kinda funny if Jim somehow got screwed through the winter. He's semi-literally living under an anti-snow dome.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

My brother messaged me from The Dalles, he says it is coming down pretty hard again and they have a fresh half inch or so. 

 

NWS has issued a short term forecast for that snow band around Wilsonville, people under that could pick up a solid dusting.

 

Snow has fired back up here over the past 30 minutes with some very weak echoes. Picked up a solid dusting on the cars from it. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Let's hope not.

[Deweydog]

That band has been pretty impressive. Must be the windshift line dropping VERY rapidly south.

[The Swamp]

It has snowed here lightly for the last hour and a half and has amounted to absolutely nothing.  Zero.  You can't even say we got a TRACE.

[umadbro]

Too bad that band near Wilsonville isn't 20 miles north.

It's been sitting over me for two hours. Light non sticking snow. It really isn't spectacular.

 

Edit: its moved on. But it formed over me and say for a couple hours.

[TT-SEA]

I did 'snow king county' and got nothing.   

 

Then did 'snow' and picked cities in south King County.   Started with Maple Valley since its the closest to me and that came up on top.

I've never really understood the delighting in the misery of others aspect here. We're all in this together.

[TT-SEA]

There are some very small flakes falling here as well now.   I can see why it would add up to absolutely nothing.  

[SilverFallsAndrew]

At this point I would love it if it just cleared out...But we've seen this before. 

[TT-SEA]

It has to clear out eventually right? 

[Deweydog]

The NAM hints that clearing may be hard to come by the next couple days.

[Laura]

Three blocks from my house there is sticking snow.  Over my house?  Nothing whatsoever.

I think you were just on the weak edge of it. I see reports on facebook that said about an inch of snow in areas of Oregon City/Canby. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I'm thinking a lot of 30/28 type days if that is the case. I had an exciting 32/31 spread today.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Yeah the heaviest part is east of I-5

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Winter weather advisory now posted for the central Willamette valley because of that snow band

[Brennan]

Any way we could split this thing into two topics... One for Washington and one for Oregon... Include lower BC in WA. ???

[Front Ranger]

0z NAM further north and stronger with the low on Wednesday. Looks like a little light snow for Portland.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Reports of up to 3" just south of Oregon City at Carus. 

[MossMan]

I agree. It would be helpful.

[FroYoBro]

That would make the separate threads really lame.

Lol. Oh geez.

What is the purpose of this post?

[SilverFallsAndrew]

A smaller snow band has developed around Silverton and Mt. Angel, snow starting to stick down there too. 

 

Looks like snow has developed along HWY 213 all the way from Silverton to I-205 now...Reports that OC Fire District responding to 3 accidents on 213 between Oregon City and Mulino. 

 

Reports from my spotter network coming in fast and furious on this one. 

[Goducks09]

I realize whining won't change anything, but, this weather pattern has so far been really obnoxious.

The MM5 NAM shows the precip basically spins around the PNW for the next 2 days.   

 

Crazy how weak this push has become.
