February 2017 Observations and Model Discussion for the Pacific Northwest

[snow_wizard]

******* disaster here so far.

[TT-SEA]

Wow... tie game.

 

Shows why Brady is the best in the game.    Like him or not.  

[MossMan]

Wow!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

No doubt that Brady is the greatest of all time no matter what happens.

[Deweydog]

******* disaster here so far.

-Atlanta in the fourth quarter

[bainbridgekid]

Down to 33.1 here now and finally sticking after 5 straight hours of nonsticking snow.

 

Pretty quickly whitening up in the grass now and the cars have a couple tenths of an inch.

[Front Ranger]

SEA down to 33 now as well.

[Front Ranger]

Issaquah looking pretty wintry right now.

 

[Arctic Front]

Issaquah looking pretty wintry right now.

I have family is Issaquah. Just sent me a video, snowing good there. Not sure what kind of totals they should be expecting though. Any idea?

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Pats are gonna get the ball!!!

[TT-SEA]

Issaquah looking pretty wintry right now.

Yeah... all way to Bellevue now as well.   Just in the last 10 minutes.

[MossMan]

Pats are gonna get the ball!!!

And they are going to score.

[Front Ranger]

4-8" seems like a good call for that area.

[FroYoBro]

It seems like it is sticking really well in Astoria now. Beach snowstorm!

[Winterdog]

******* disaster here so far.

Nothing but rain here.  Looking like warmed over dog droppings.

[Perturbed Member]

After midnight. Anything more than a slushy mix looks unlikely with the baroclinic band as it pivots. And moisture kind of runs out from there.

 

Hoping Seattle doesn't get screwed, they are going to be right on the fence.

 

 

Yeah, pretty abrupt end after midnight on the HRRR. I'm sitting at 34 with 100% rain. My gut tells me I'm not too likely to see much of anything though. 

 

Hopefully SEA can get it together and get a few inches out of this. 

[MikeInEverett]

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

[TT-SEA]

Best in the game.   No doubt about it.  

[MossMan]

Wow!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

OMG OMG OMG!!!!! TOM ******* BRADY!

[Perturbed Member]

HRRR wants to send some decently organized showers into PDX tomorrow AM. Just might be able to get our trace of snow.

[DareDuck]

That's what you get for trying to run out the clock midway through the third quarter.

[Front Ranger]

OMG OMG OMG!!!!! TOM ******* BRADY!

 

Did you know he's friends with Trump?!?

[MikeInEverett]

Brady just cemented himself as the GOAT

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Never underestimate the heart of a champion. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Did you know he's friends with Trump?!?

 

Yes. But I love Tom first...

[VancouverIslandSouth]

Down to 30F now with NE winds with whatever the snow equivalent of drizzle is blowing around, from 39F and light rain at 4pm. This has been the most impressive Arctic front I've seen here in a few years, but still just a tease on the snow side of things. There's maybe 1/4" on most surfaces, but nothing has stuck to the paved surfaces.

[luvssnow_spokane]

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

[MossMan]

Finally freaking snowing!

[Perturbed Member]

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

 

Glad you finally scored. No longer a terrible winter for you now?

[Front Ranger]

According the 0z GFS, storm is progressing a little slower than previously modeled. Best snow dynamics won't be until early tomorrow AM for much of Puget Sound.

[Perturbed Member]

I hate this place.

[Perturbed Member]

Too bad the annoying warm layer just doesn't want to budge.

How is that possible?

 

I hate this place.

South hill and Bonney lake have been getting blasted. I bet they end up close to 10 inches.

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