Good or bad depending on your viewpoint.

It’ll be a hearty air mass. I’d guess at this point that things will verify around -10c or so giving the now short term trends, around “normal” with a splitty blast with excellent anomaly placement.

The forum is dominated by those from the Puget Sound though and dry cold doesn’t go over well with most of them. Understandable, to each their own…

I have heard far more lamenting from Oregon posters about us Sounders than actual complaints about missing out on snow.

Sounds like you’ve got several pages to catch up on

I can never tell if Corvallis is a victim of terrain bleed or not on these maps.

We both are.

Neither “side” will ever nerd out quite right according to the other.

I’d be up for meeting at a centralized location (Centralia?) for an end-all-be-all badminton tourney to settle the score. Just will need to wait for February snows to break.

PDX picked up another degree on their average high today. 35 to go and less than six months to get there. It’ll be interesting to see how that plays out.

still all in (on cold)

full on SSW later in Feb, I dunno probably a Cold/Wet/Snowy spring on deck (again)

Hmm, we should do the nude prelim round in late February during the big blast and then do the championship round in ski suits in late June during our 2021 repeat.

12Z EPS. I mean it’s not like it shows us rocketing to well above average after the cold spell. Temps stay near to slightly below average into the long range.

Yep and more mountain snow. Win win!

Why Jesse and Tim both wore suits to a badminton tournament I’ll never know…

Tim says if the wind is calm and the February sun is out, temps in mid 20’s can be quite oppressive.

How many pics do you have between the 2012/13-2022/23 seasons? I am at 4,116. Funny that my phone thinks my plow attachment for my mower is a “snowmobile” though technically it’s not wrong…

Lol, we’re close. I don’t have my stuff organized like you do but roughly half of the videos are weather stuff. And at least 4,000 of the 21,000 photos are weather stuff too.  

[Gradient Keeper]

I do believe you Puget Sounder folks have seen accumulating snow 2 to 6 times already? Yes? You've had a pretty decent Wintry season.

You can't always hog ALL the fun. Right? Right. Sharing is caring after all.... haha. Nah. If I had 30" of snow and you only had 2" I would be greedy as (insert favorite expletive here) and want more!

February tourney can be at Tim's house. Should be deep snow, gobs of warm front drizzle, calamitous marine pushing, and some oppressive 25 degree sunshine.

For the ski suit challenge I was thinking we should hold it on the blazing Dallesport runway.

18Z ECMWF time... this is all inclusive of the precip with the arctic front.

This is about as good as it got IMBY but we got something like that several times. So no complaints, can’t expect snowmageddon every winter. I’m hoping for more but if you guys are the winners this time around I’ll be happy for you.

I doubt Randy actually organizes his photos. You can just text search in your photos and your iphone will recognize whatever you are looking for in your pics...not perfect obviously but pretty useful. 

[T-Town]

For sure. This was the same day.

Way underdone.  I would triple some of those numbers.

So PDX gets .3 instead of .1  

[RayRay]

When my friend asked me if it is going to snow in Seattle, I said no. My mood is not good and my mood swings with how much snowfall there is. Time to get a job in the Rocky Mountains.

Greta is pissed at you. How dare you diminish our lofty .3" of snow into something that is a mere disappointment and not welcomed by one and all.

And with the possible exception of @MR.SNOWMIZER up near Green Mountain I don't think anyone in the Puget Sound area has received 30" or anything near to it. I've done really well so far this season and I'm standing at a hair above 20".

Can’t help but wonder if this was sensor related.

We’ve had some pretty good times here so far this winter. 7 separate snow events…but the biggest 1 day total just being 1.1”. Snow depth peaked on the morning of the 1st at 2”.

Oh, yeah no I know no one has had 30", that was just an example n stuff. I should have clarified that a bit more.

SEA might get 100 times what is shown.  

Let me check the math... 100 X 0.00 = 0.00

That’s the first. The fourth wasn’t as impressive here, although that’s the snow that got me out of a trip to the inlaws in Seattle so I might argue the fourth was better.

The event really peaked on that day. We picked up 1” during the evening of the 30th and 1” on the morning of the 1st. Then the snow held on really well all day. 34/25 temp spread on December 1st.

Me trying to figure out how big of a snowman I can build with .1" of snow.

1/10/2017 or 2/12/1995 style overperformance??

Ludicrous has done pretty well at least.

When there's almost no room to underperform overperforming is a good bet!
