March in the Pacific Northwest


Recommended Posts

Oh good god Tim, REALLY?

 

 

Really.

 

Show me a dry day on the GFS or the ECMWF in the next 10 days.   :)

 

Find one.   It won't happen because its not there.

Not sure what you mean by "obviously not."

 

I like almost any weather. Yesterday was great, and I'm enjoying today too.

 

I was agreeing that it does not take much to make him happy.  

 

Light rain and 42 degrees with a possible snowflake in the somewhere?   :)

The moisture will increase tonight as the trough gets more focused over western wa.

 

 

No.  

 

You are just making that up.   The models show the moisture increasing rapidly tomorrow morning with southerly flow.

What will happen tonight will not roll in from the coast it will develop over us. Watch the visible loop and you can see it happen already.

We come from the land of the ice and snow.

Not seeing it.

 

I am just being honest about the situation.

Probably will get 1-2" tonight up here before a quick melt tomorrow evening. I'll take it.

 

 

I agree with that forecast for Bellingham.

Well considering that 925 temps were above 0 where the light snow did occur this morning, I would say that was surprising.

 

Mesoscale analysis showed 925's at +1 almost everywhere during that time.

 

 

Initial benefit of the dry air that moved in yesterday.    We have used that up now south of Bellingham.

As Snowmizer said, different opinions.

 

I already know I will not see anything.

 

It is just funny seeing you shoot down everything anyone says that doesn't jive with what the models show.

Also would like to note that it warms my heart that Eugene actually recorded official snowfall data this winter.

Still spitting snowflakes here with a current temp of 40 degrees. DP is 28. What a dramatic change from yesterday's upper 50's and wall to wall sunshine. The breeze outside is biting cold!

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Reading those snow totals remind me how pathetic the lowland climate is.

Of course its possible.    A given actually with the dry air influx yesterday.

We can tally up sub-freezing nights now for Dec-Feb. Looks like we had 37 freezing nights this winter compared to an average of 31.2 (1940-2013)

My god.  You're seriously gonna pull something soon.  Hopefully you're stretching properly and getting plenty of potassium and electrolytes.

Co-worker just informed he drove in from down in the South Sound and it was snowing from Federal Way all the way up 405 til you reached about I-90. Not sticking of course, but fun nonetheless.

 

Although, the GFS MOS guidance says it wasn't supposed to be cold enough for snow! And we've used up all our dry air south of Bellingham! What are we to do? How is this possibly happening?

 

 

Nobody said there would not be some snow in the air.   I believe I have said about 10 times that was a given with the dry air intrusion yesterday.

 

But there is not likely going to be accumulating snow in the Seattle area.
