It's interesting. We had snow this morning at work - in Kingston - and no snow at home. But these hood canal events seem to be favorable for my neighborhood. I grew up and bought my first house in Kingston, and the microclimates just in North Kitsap are crazy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have literally watched it rain in Oregon City, West Linn, Gladstone, Milwaukie while it is a blizzard a few miles down the road. Some areas just are what they are. There was this guy Eric on the old Fox 12 Weather Blog that would keep going on about the anti-weather dome over Milwaukie. 1 It's called clown range for a reason.

Oh yea, a lot of things you learn about weather living here. For example, when there's a region-wide windstorm, we often get no wind at all during the event, but then massive wind as it exits the area and is clear and sunny. I remember last year or the year before, there was one snow event where Hansville, Poulsbo, Silverdale, Bremerton, etc. all got a big snow dump, and we all got nothing, but then as the system was winding down somehow a single precip cell stalled over us and dumped more for us than the others got during the initial event. It's weird here, and I'm ok with that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLI snowman Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 6 minutes ago, Doinko said: GEM also looks to be showing a decent amount of precip, though mostly only 1-2" snow west metro and not much east metro. Maybe if that cold is being underdone we could see a nice event. Didn't the Euro also underdo the precip for today's system in the Sound? The 12z Euro today definitely appears that it's going to be a little underdone, but previous runs were wetter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perturbed Member Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 QPF for the Sunday system. GFS, GEM, RGEM, NAM. Some consensus starting to form here. Hopefully we can get the 00z Euro on board. If the precip really will be that solid, I'm not worried about the temps. It won't be impressively cold but I think this airmass gets the job done given steady moderate precip. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
