PNW January 2023 Observations and Discussion

[TacomaWx]

After this morning’s snow I’m even more than content with this winter. If we’re not going to get any more snow in the lowlands let’s get a good mountain snowfall pattern not this stuff.

35 here DP 29, plenty cold to snow but overall it looks like the system tonight looks like less than what the models had this morning…pretty unlikely we repeat this morning tomorrow expect maybe north of randy.

That is one ugly GFS run. Looks like more of the same. 

Yeah the Op has been, but the GEFS has been vastly better Day 7+.

Haven't y'all had snow up there 3, 4, 5, 6 times?

Yes but they have all been pretty minor accumulations. Like maybe .5 to 1 inch at a time. 

[RentonHill]

I will be very curious to see the extension of this 00z run tomorrow.

How much total? I'd take even one of those events

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Andrew, I hope y'all got today's Final Jeopardy.

We haven’t yet had “The Big One” this season. Hopefully it’s coming.

Except of course it will be totally different after day 7 on every run tomorrow.

Reminds me of February 2013.

Yeah, I don't really remember it either.

4yrs ago right now there were a lot more forum members online, and there were night shift’s happening.

I had to go back into my picture archives…All I have is we went to the boat show and bought a SUV, and my co-workers at my previous job threw me a “Cheesy” going away party! Which reminds me, I will have been at my current job for a decade on March 1st! My PTO gets bumped to the highest level which I think is like 6 weeks or something…More summer trips to Eastern Washington incoming!!

I thought late November through Dec 22 or so was a pretty decent period.

Livingston, MT has had a lot of fun the past 24 hours.
