February 2017 Observations and Model Discussion for the Pacific Northwest

[Jesse]

Scappoose now turning to rain as the WAA surges north.

 

Seems that the epicenter of this waaah was somewhere near Silverton, OR. That's some powerful crying.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Jim is sitting back with a glass of wine and a big fat cigar right now. And Tim is angry.

ive kept silent for awhile about this but you at a little biatch when you aren't getting snow yourself.

Angry?   

 

I have a winter wonderland and watching the Super Bowl.    Does not get much better.

[Winterdog]

Jake and I get mud!

Yeah but it doesn't melt, it sticks around until July.

[snow_wizard]

I'm actually kind of worried.  it's just not as cold here as a lot of places and it's still struggling to stick.  The 850s drop later so that should help.  Still looking like it might not do as well here as a lot of places.

[MossMan]

Yeah but it doesn't melt, it sticks around until July.

Very true! My dogs seem to enjoy playing in it as well!

[MossMan]

Temp down to 35. Still rain.

[catnip]

Very strange... some lightly falling wet snow here but just drove down the hill and went through rain at around 600-800 feet and then heavy snow down at the valley floor and sticking.   Much heavier snow at 450 feet than up here.   Not sure how... thinking maybe warm nose?

Karma

[Trainwreck]

No snow for you!!

[Geos]

33.0° now as it turned dark. Borderline moderate snow now.

I wouldn't worry. It's only 5 o'clock.

 

Should be sticking nicely there in an hour or two.

[TT-SEA]

Karma

 

If there was not another flake of snow here tonight... I would be perfectly happy.   Either way is fine.  Somehow I doubt that will be the case and I am sure schools will be closed.   

 

And this is obviously the warm nose up the Cascade foothills that the WRF began advertising yesterday.  

[TT-SEA]

HRRR shows the back edge moving through in just 5 hours from now... seems unlikely but who knows.

I am a bit worried too.  It has been snowing big wet flakes here off and on most of the day with nothing to show for it.

[Guest Sounder]

Just switched to all snow on Capitol Hill. Here we go!

[HighlandExperience]

lots of place now switching to all snow

Seems unlikely but **** it I'll post it anyway. I really want Jim to kill himself this time.

If you've seen a snow blob mixed in the rain today you have kicked my butt. I actually expect nothing at all here tonight.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Nah, I don't really care. I am done with winter. 

[VancouverIslandSouth]

Down to 33F with snow here from 39F an hour ago. Nothing is sticking to the road, but it seems the outflow has hit now, I sure hope this isn't another tease event that will be over in an hour.

[Jesse]

The WAA heard 'round the world!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Never expected any snow so I don't care. I would have loved to have had that 60-65 degree weather Roseburg got! Could have actually gotten some work done around the house. 

[Blizzard777]

33.3 and snow is sticking now

 

 

Streetlight on (time to switch over to night vision)

[HighlandExperience]

Graham already reporting 5 inches

[seattleweatherguy]

So far not looking good

[Jesse]

You have a bad poker face.

 

Speaking of which, Lady Gaga on the halftime show right now!

[bainbridgekid]

KSEA has switched to snow with visibility down to 2 miles.

 

34 degrees.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I love Lady Gaga or at least I did circa 2009-2011. 

[TT-SEA]

Its just 5 hours out... worth mentioning.

[Arctic Front]

Have fun. Screw zone continues to live on up here even though "everyone" is going to score

[Jesse]

Yeah I'm a fan.

[TT-SEA]

It really has seemed out to lunch in regards to this whole event. It wasn't until this morning/early afternoon that it started to show the band more northward than just over Portland. It also showed switch over not happening until 8-10PM, which is obviously wrong.

It never does well with precip type or snow totals. But there does appear to be a back edge on the coastal radar now. Who knows though... could easily stall in place too.

[snow_wizard]

Looks like about half of the moisture will be through before it finally really sticks here.  Later when the wind shifts to NW in response to the low it should kick in good here.  I'm definitely disappointed with this part of the event.  Maybe the enhanced snowfall some models show for King County tomorrow morning will make up for it.

[TT-SEA]

It has turned to snow along I-90 in Issaquah.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Yeah I'm a fan.

 

She's unique. I appreciate that.

How's it looking out there. Temp? Falling to sticking ratio?

[snow_wizard]

I hope she doesn't do some anti American political stunt.  Wouldn't surprise me at all.

To the chagrin of grumpy old men everywhere who who hoping for something to ***** about tomorrow, she didn't.

The temp dropped to 34.0, but it's half rain now.
