Guest Dome Buster Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Just a little play by play for those of you still stuck at work in PDX area. Off work at 230 in Gladstone: 47 and partly cloudy Stopped for a drink, left Gladstone @ 2:50: Clouding up, light rain beginning to fall, large drops. Quickly dropped to 42 Went the back roads so I could go up over hills. 3:10: Over Rosemont area/West Linn, S. Lake Oswego, heavy graupel/hail shower left a quick dusting. Temp started at 41 near the hwy 43 exit off 205. Dropped to 36 during the shower. Dropped down into Lake Grove, near the Lower Boones Ferry exit off of I5 around 3:20. Light rain and temp rose back up to 40. Continued down Tualatin/Sherwood Hwy, got to Sherwood around 3:40: Heavy rain and the temp dropped to 37 by the time I got to 99W. I was eyeing Cooper Mtn., surely at least heavy wet snow up there. Continued past 99W on Roy Rogers Rd., temp dropping with heavy precip. Over Cooper Mtn. around 4:00 it was heavy wet snow and temp bottomed out at 34. Nothing stuck but was pretty fun for an appetizer. Made it back down to the Beaverton/Hillsboro area. Funny how at the bottom of Cooper Mtn. it quickly shot up 6 degrees to 40. Wavered between 39 and 41 all the way home to Tanasbourne. Have to love these micro-climates around here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front Ranger Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Also, this QBO state is just absurd. Not even a hint of a downwelling easterly in there. The precursory SAO in the mesosphere is already back-cycling, so I doubt we see the easterly in the upper sigmas until at least mid-summer. However this turns out, it's obvious that something has happened to the QBO. It just isn't functioning properly anymore. Scientists worldwide are scratching their heads over this. We've followed the QBO since the 1950s, and nothing like this has ever been observed. I expect studies very soon attributing it to global warming. Any time something unusual happens, that happens. 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VancouverIslandSouth Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Yes, just SW of Eugene at 850 ft. elevation. The deer just happened to walk by as I went out onto the deck to gawk at the snow and take photos. Here's one more, after the snow stopped, as the light was failing: Nice! The Arbutus and Oak mix in the forest there looks a lot like something you'd find here or in pockets along East Vancouver Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VancouverIslandSouth Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Yes, I have a nice southwest exposure that the Madrones (as we call them here) like. They weren't very happy about last December's ice storm, though. LOTS of breakage - entire 50' trees snapped off near the base. A massive cleanup that I'm still working on. That sucks, my parent's place in Nanoose lost pretty big branches during previous heavy snowstorms, but the worst damage has come from a type of fungus that turns the branches black and usually eventually kills the trees.

bainbridgekid Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 00z looks good for Sunday for Seattle. Really nice track. Timing will be key with this feature. If it is able to come in closer to Sunday morning I like our chances of getting something rather widespread. If it holds off till the afternoon it would make accumulations much tougher to come by.

VancouverIslandSouth Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 The 0z GFS continues to look good for Sunday; this is a near classic looking shortwave coming down the BC coast, which generally works out well for the Puget Sound area. If it had just a bit more amplitude we could be looking at an Arctic blast coming in behind the snow, but it still has lots of potential as a snow event alone. The consistency of this feature across all the models now is pretty impressive too given the way they struggled on earlier events. Hard to believe it was 6 years ago today that we were entering one of the most impressive late February blasts on record; 3 years later there was another significant snow event in northern areas. This event looks like a blend between those two; quicker, colder and more widespread than Feb 2014, but not nearly as cold as Feb 2011. http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/gfs/2017022300/gfs_z500_mslp_namer_14.png 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VancouverIslandSouth Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 The 0z GEM develops the secondary low behind the Sunday low and brings in another shot of snow on Monday. The other models have been hinting at this possibility as well but don't develop it to the extent the GEM does. http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/gem/2017022300/gem_mslp_pcpn_frzn_nwus_21.png 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
