February 2017 Observations and Model Discussion for the Pacific Northwest

[Front Ranger]

is that good or bad?

Good. Means more snow later.

[crf450ish]

What a game... Was rooting for the Falcons but still amazing Super Bowl! I am at 4 inches now.

You must be on cloud 9!

[FroYoBro]

Just put a ******* zero up there for where I live.  This ******* place is contemptible.  

 

Calm down. Save this for if you still have bare ground 12 hours from now.

There are a lot of things besides snow that make a good neighborhood

[Alex_Snakes]

Finally sticking in west end Tacoma

[seattleweatherguy]

Got snow on grass

[TT-SEA]

What a game... Was rooting for the Falcons but still amazing Super Bowl! I am at 4 inches now.

 

 

Awesome news!  

[Front Ranger]

I see snow on a car in Covington...

 

[umadbro]

Pouting is acceptable behavior, but sarcasm is unjustified here.

 

 

Snowflake...

[Heavy Snow]

What a game. The best Super Bowl I have ever watched! The last 2 SB's they have won the other team choked it away by making horrible play calls near the end of the game. I still have to give Brady and the Patriots credit but they could and should have lost the last 2 SB's.

[snow_wizard]

Mostly snow here now. Can only get better from here!

 

For everywhere except here that is.

I hate it here.

[HighlandExperience]

[Blizzard777]

Now I can look out the window again, awesome game!

32.4

Snowing and we are dusted

[Front Ranger]

Spanaway looking quite snowy.

 

[snow_wizard]

The Gem and GFS still showing generous amounts. This is a Super Bowl comeback.

 

How long does it show the precip lasting.  I'm not even going to look at a model tonight.

[Deweydog]

I hate it here.

Yeah, you should have had a wind-swept eight inches by now.

Just painful.

[MossMan]

Everything already turning white!

[HighlandExperience]

Heaviest snow all night falling now.

[Heavy Snow]

For anybody not getting snow, don't feel so bad. At least your not Atlanta Falcon bettors who had ATL +3 and Atlanta was up 28-3 in the 3rd quarter. Talk about a backdoor cover and a painful way to lose!

[snow_wizard]

Yeah, you should have had a wind-swept eight inches by now.

 

 

Everywhere else is getting nailed.  Over 5 years of this crap now.

[Front Ranger]

Just painful.

 

I don't know why it hasn't hit your area quite yet, but it will.

[bainbridgekid]

The sidewalk, driveway, and street are starting to turn white here now.

 

Down to 32.6 degrees.

[TT-SEA]

How long does it show the precip lasting.  I'm not even going to look at a model tonight.

 

 

WRF shows back edge through us around midnight... this is the midnight to 1 a.m. time frame..   It does show another batch of moisture around 11 a.m. tomorrow.  

 

[The Swamp]

South Hill Puyallup has about 5".

 

Valley floor had 1.5".

 

That's what elevation does for you.

[TT-SEA]

I don't know why it hasn't hit your area quite yet, but it will.

 

Snowing in Auburn now... its very close.  

[ShawniganLake]

Ugh, familiar pattern here, snowing everywhere else on the Island north of 10 miles from here, right down to sea level. Cloudy with very light drizzle here at 39F. I'm not sure how we're still getting shadowed under SE flow aloft, can't say I'm surprised though. Nice to see some snow reports from the Puget Sound, this is going to be a pretty amazing event down there.

You still missing out? Picked up 4" here this afternoon.

[HighlandExperience]

Snowing in Auburn now... its very close.

Pretty much snowing heavy everywhere in king county now.

[TT-SEA]

WRF shows it over 40 tomorrow at 1 p.m. for areas south of Seattle with a good southerly wind.     Areas to the north of Seattle appear to stay cold.

 

[Front Ranger]

WRF shows back edge through us around midnight... this is the midnight to 1 a.m. time frame..   It does show another batch of moisture around 11 a.m. tomorrow.

 

 

That is earlier than what the operational shows...I would say back edge by midnight would be the absolute earliest. And that's looking at current satellite/radar as well.

[Perturbed Member]

Not sure I buy this bs from the WRF. Tonight into tomorrow.

[FroYoBro]

WRF really wants to bust for the Portland area.

[The Swamp]

I know you sre obssessed, but can you please maybe let us enjoy tonight without posts about the supposed south wind tomorrow?

 

It would be greatly appreciated.

He's a total d ick h ead.

 

Always pissing in people cheerios.

[seattleweatherguy]

Dusting on grass

[Front Ranger]

DP down to 31 at SEA, 2 below last hour. Low level cold outflow clearly kicking in.

[MikeInEverett]

Moderate snow here and quickly accumulating, over a dusting on grass and cars and slush on some roads.

[TT-SEA]

Its interesting for areas to the north and the line is farther south than the ECMWF showed... and pertinent to precip type in all of the post-frontal activity.  

[Front Ranger]

South Hill Puyallup has about 5".

 

Valley floor had 1.5".

 

That's what elevation does for you.

 

Do you remember Dec 2005? I believe that storm brought close to 10" to South Hill, 5-6" at the Valley Floor. 

 

This night is looking very similar.

Different here for sure.
