How in the hell does GFS think the low-level temps will be this cold? Just ridiculous.1671667200-ugaLf0q1KAw.png

It can easily be that cold in the Seattle area... it was just last December.

Saw a lot of these the last few days. Definitely the highest dead leaf concentration I’ve ever seen.

:o Okay then. I just now had time to look at the 12z runs. Never mind the outlandish Op runs, but the excellent improvement with the GEFS/EPS really intensifying the backdoor cold. Considerably colder. I likely will not reach freezing out here for many days with quite an east wind event/storm. This looks awesome.

Happened here last February. Low-mid 20s with mix of freezing rain and sleet. 12" of snow forecast became only 4-5"

It's beginning to feel like the leadup to last week's event. Who's ready for the inevitable 33 degree slush! 🙃

Saturday is gonna be fun! 

NWS Reno 

Probabilities 
for 4+ feet along the Sierra crest through the duration of the 
weekend are nearing 75%, while Sierra mountain communities are 
seeing about a 75% chance of seeing accumulations near 2 feet. The 
heaviest snowfall rates are expected on Saturday thanks in part to 
the Sierra remaining on the cold side of a dynamic 130kt jet that
will push through this weekend. Snowfall rates 2-3+"/hr rates 
will be possible during this period with some lightning strikes 
not out of the question with the alignment of instability and jet 
forcing. 

Wow!  On another note, having read AFD's now for many years, I have noticed a change in format, and seeing this one, its apparent that it's not just my local office. 

What I'm seeing are the listing of the percentage chances of different snow amounts in specific areas.  I don't remember before hearing that kind of wording before.  They have been doing that here this winter for several different cities.  Guessing they are using ensembles.

That's a weird 500mb pattern for an arctic outbreak. Is what the EPS control run showing similar to February 2021 in some ways? I'm not sure though.

It's showing a wonky pattern so take it with a grain of salt but the general theme of high latitude blocking continues on the ensembles.

February 2021 did have nearly coast to coast cold like what this is showing.

The 18z GEFS is no doubt about it cold for week two.  It and the EPS have really trended colder in the past few runs.
