WildrootParable Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Hi all, been a while! Wasn't going to say anything because I thought it would be just a bit of snow and mostly mix, but it's been dumping snow here now for a little over an hour and accumulating nicely on trees, roofs, grass. Such a lovely surprise! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you do without me Jess? Anyway nice to get a little something even if it’s not gonna last what do you think too bad the Hawks lost last weekend but it was still a good season hopefully the next round of blocking turns out good too nice that it might set up a little earlier than in 2006 since sun angles are on the rise have a good Saturday 1 1 Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

snow_wizard Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 If memory serves the ECMWF has a long known bias of kicking too much energy SW underneath a block like the one coming up. Not too worried about this run. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

snow_wizard Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Pretty good chance the ECMWF is too aggressive with the warming in King County later today. It's been known to do that in cases like this. 2 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

That NEVER happens. True... no way to know yet. Maybe the westward shift is real and we are just starting to see it in the models now or maybe everything will shift east again. The latter would be a compromise with the GFS.

selkirks Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 About 37ºF here near U-Village and I have some flakes mixing in!

RCola Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Snowing in Belltown right now. Huge flakes! Probably won't last long but still nice to see. I missed out on the good stuff in December, so I'm hoping we get a part 2 at the end of this month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
