The Snoqualmie Valley school district goes through the same routine every year. Early in the season they are shut down happy. Then by later in the season they stay open through everything because they have run out of snow days. I remember driving my kids to school in a blizzard one year... 40 mph wind whipping snow around and roads snow covered but the district was worried about going to school until almost July. You'd think they would learn! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much on all models now. Seems like a needle-thread scenario, but my guess would be some low/mid level convergence near the gorge due to the optimal position of the low. And the easterlies stay weak enough to be a benefit and keep the lower levels somewhat saturated. There's not really any actual mid level CAA wrapping into it, so frontal lifting would be pretty weak and I imagine we'd be looking pretty exclusively at low topped stuff that is often very difficult for the models (and even the radar) to pick up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Snap Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 With how weird this storm that’s about to come through is, I feel like it has the potential to surprise some people. Not with much maybe an inch or two. But I feel like PDX could have a shot with the moisture some models are showing on Sunday. Hopefully it doesn’t end up trending too far north like the Euro is showing. Even though it trending north would probably put me in it I would like to see the Portland area score so you guys can have some snow going into this cold dry period as well! 6 2023 - 2024 Cold Season Stats Total Snowfall - 0.75” Max Snow Depth - 0.5” Coldest High Temp - 21 (Jan 13) Coldest Low Temp - 9 (Jan 13) Number of Freezes - 48 Sub-40 highs - 12 Highs 32 or lower - 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
