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

[Everleigh]

Temp 30.6° DP 29.3° woke up to a light dusting. Wasn't expecting that.

12z GFS in 12 minutes

[GHweatherChris]

This first wave of precip did a good job of cooling, temp started at 37 now down to 32.5 as the back edge of it approaches.

[MossMan]

26.2 degrees and mostly cloudy. Frost is super heavy this morning, it’s even coating the trees!

I can do this routine in my sleep after living here for almost 5 years now. Either someone hit ice and took out a pole, or a squirrel wanted to warm up its nuts and got cooked, or a really fat squirrel broke a branch over the power line. Anyway let’s see how many hours or days it will be this time! 

No Sunday Ticket and Seahawks for you today?

Oh I have a dedicated extension cord that runs from the upstairs closet where the junction box is for the dish, I just run it downstairs to a plug that’s on generator power…No way I am missing football Sunday!

PDX NWS has supplied a visual aid for a potential warm tongue, which should result in it busting to everyone's delight.

I have a wireless charger that will keep my laptop charged for 24 hours, and another backup in the garage that will do the same.  If we lose power I can just stream it all.  I hate technology most of the time but it has its advantages.

The cold up north(of Oregon) just continues to persist.

[Terreboner]

Got a lull here right now, hopefully that isn't it!!  About and inch and a half according to the deck rail.  Looks like more bands moving up, but again, no radar so I have to go by webcam observations and the GOLU model.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

17˚F at the weather station in nearby Burns Bog this morning.

Clear night + snow-covered ground = excellent radiational cooling.

Just picturing your setup there running to you generator

It feels like it sometimes! I have 3 cords I run, one for the satellite dish, one for Elon Musk so I can keep posting here, and one cord that I will run directly to the generator from the garage to power the garage fridge and chest freezer. Haven’t bothered with that one yet since it’s so chilly in the garage anyway. 

[GobBluth]

39 in Beaverton. Evaporative cooling!

[Gradient Keeper]

Day 2 (4-run trend)

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Evaporative cooling at the silver falls station. We were around freezing all night, but this station is on a ridge… 

[Terreboner]

And just like that, snow starting back up!!!

[The Blob]

I hate that I'm stuck at work today. I wish I could be at home on the deck with lots of coffee.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Radar shows all the precip north of here… but it is snowing a bit. I’m like Mossman, I’ll take whatever I can get.

Day 3 (4-run trend)

[MossMan]

I take it this is not hitting the ground? Anyone in that area see any flakes? 

[Everleigh]

The UW radar loop shows the stuff that's moving off the coast a lot heavier than my Radar Scope app.....It hardly shows up.  I don't think I've seen such a difference in radars before......? 

 

NM, I am an idiot. lol

Not in that exact location, but the radar shows returns over my area, and nothing is falling. 

[snow maniac]

Been sleet here for an hour and the temperature has dropped 5 degrees in that time. WoW

I haven’t done the death stare outside yet but I’m assuming some micro flakes may of fallen.  Otherwise nothing to report

Dumping as hard as it was last night.

[FroYoBro]

Radar looks interesting around the Portland area right now, but nothing is actually falling here. Going to need more oomph to this moisture.

Yeah we need the air mass to saturate and with the continues east winds that process could take a bit.
