PNW December 2022, winter might be coming; but mostly canceled.

[Phil]

I’m in Florida from Dec 26th to Jan 2nd. Expect a massive eastern trough/blizzard sequence around that timeframe. No doubt.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Massive holiday snow event for @TigerWoodsLibido on this run. Love the huge arctic outbreak.

Glad to see the GFS is back to showing a blizzard in the long range lol

Yeah... we almost got the GFS within 5 days on yesterday's runs and now we are back to 14 days out.    Long way to go.   But at least its not going zonal and there is tons of potential.     

[Doinko]

 

Still snowing around the Sound at this point

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Good lord. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Ark storm into CA

[lowlandsnow]

This would probably be one of Seattle's largest snowstorms only 16 days out

And that's after dropping 12- 20" of snow in the Willamette Valley.

GEFS isn't good much worse than last nights EPS

yup, I'll be in SC and NYC 12/27 - 1/2.  definitely expect something during that time.  I hope to score a 'noreasta while in NY

[Terreboner]

Quite the storm.  I would say we are approaching 7" on our way to a foot or more.

I am pretty sure the 12Z EPS will go in the same direction unfortunately.    But I would love to be wrong about this one.

The 00z EPS was pretty fantastic. I don't really see it outdoing that run. I think it'll be slightly worse but still good

I most definitely would.   That is my favorite period of the year for cold and snow.

I am not sure even Chris would be able to wear shorts in that weather.

Ya they’ve had issues for several days. Stop using it for now

[Terreboner]

First world problems.  Heavy snow is taking out the dish.  Good thing I have FuboTV as a backup!!!

[Kayla]

GFS has a big cold bias but even still, the next 15+ days are going to be brutal here after today.

 

[Phishy Wx]

someone post post one of those Meteogram maps above for KSFF (Spokane Felts Field)

Rob crashed it.

He said something the other day after that bad Euro/EPS run that the GFS will get stuck at Day 5. Pivotal hasn't worked since

Oh yeah. I have to sweep our dish after each inch of snow. That’s all it takes to mess up our internet. 

[Guest administrator]

Some of y’all like to spray shit all over snow weenies clutching a model with a nasty case of cold bias. Then you’re are more than happy to extrapolate a 20 degree warming trend with southerly flow based off of two frames 320 hours out.

Sometimes I hate it here.

Ya, I swept it and it still didn't come on, probably the visibility and very low ceilings.

My musk internet has a heated surface on the dish. So far the internet has been amazing.

How much is that? 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Wow! 0.57” of precip this morning so far at Redmond, temp hasn’t even dropped below 34, that is some wet snow for central Oregon!

Incredible... you could see that in the pics too.    Just caking everything.

It looks like everything is zeroing in on a decent low/mid 30's cold spell Dec 19 to 21 for coastal WA & OR. Some precip likely to place itself in the runs 72 hrs before the event. Not an extended epic cold or snow, but yet another respectable event this season.

Come back late Friday. The 12/17 00 runs will write this chapter. Meanwhile, the sun is out all week!

450 for the equipment and 99 per month. My average speed is 25-75. Before with Hughes net it was 5-8 speed.  I was on the wait list for over 1 year though.

It's 31 here.  That sensor always runs warm.  And I'm reporting heavy snow.  New pics coming!!

The Oregon Coast mostly stays with highs in the 40s. Portland and the Willamette Valley are not coastal.

Interesting. $99 a month is not bad. I have phone with Hughesnet too since there is no cell service here and it’s $135 a month, but with that kind of connection I could probably just use some kind of internet phone service or something…

Hughesnet is the biggest steaming pile of crap we ever had.  Dumped it after a couple of weeks, it was horrific.
