Me trying to hope the GFS leads the way

Except when the GFS shows nothing... then we're REALLY screwed.

Seattle schools already go till after the 4th of July this school year because of the teachers strike. 

Not true but it could happen.  Apparently to reduce the likelihood of going into a July, instead of a snow day, they'll do remote learning for a day.

Needless to say, my wife isn't happy.

Had a snow shower this morning that over performed. Temps are over performing as well…Down to 7 with a wind chill of -4.

Ended up with a 40/34 day this first day of December. Partly to mostly cloudy and chilly with a few light showers/snow flurries at times. Still haven’t seen any sticking snow out of this pattern but I remain hopeful.

[Kolk1604]

I fixed it. We're in the blue Frosty!

They sent out an email to the parents that the last day of school was 7/5 and a ton of the parents were pissed. I just asked my wife and she said they came back and switched it to remote learning on snow days.

I am currently in Matt’s old stomping grounds! Good old Omak! The drive into town this evening was insane with massive blowing snow across the highway. Loving every minute of it!!

My school has done this since before COVID. We get one snow day and then it's online school.

That's a ton of snow for omak!

[snow_wizard]

Pretty amazing.  The GFS shows that WA and MT will have the largest coverage of subzero lows tonight in the lower 48.  Very unusual pattern.

Yeah, it starts at 5pm Thursday, but doesn't show any snow until tomorrow morning

I thought Kuchera worked both ways...it goes lower than 10:1 when temps are higher/marginal and higher when temps are lower.

Here for a work meeting! Heading home tomorrow evening. Hopefully it will be snowing at my house when I get back very late tomorrow night.

I thought it was for Higher ratios with colder temps. Like 12:1 or 15:1 

[Olive1010]

Is Portland gonna get any snow? Monday or Sunday looks kinda good
