wxmet Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I've been trying to play along that I'm hopeful about the subsequent possible snow events, but I'm in the mood now to just be real about it. In general Seattle does terrible with lows that slide down the coast. We need them to make landfall over SW WA to really have any chance at anything good. Another rule of thumb I've noticed is Seattle doesn't do well when the Western trough plunges very far south like this one is doing. This pattern simply doesn't allow systems to move inland anywhere near a favorable location for us. NW OR is closer to the coast and the systems are in the process of moving closer to the coast as they move south. The one we should have scored with was today's system. The big question is why are so many cold waves coming without getting decent snowfall here. If you look at past decades it was much less common for the Puget Sound region to fail like this. At this point I'm just going to live with it and count the days until I can move to a better area. It's as simple as that.Not considering the longwave pattern, it is already difficult for Seattle to get snowfall as it is between two mountain ranges which severely restricts the flow necessary to get precipitation into the region during cold events. Couple that with the proximity to water which creates marginal situations with temperature. The 500mb shortwave and associated low weakened as it got closer to the coast with the dynamics shifting to the system over the midwest. In previous years, cold air was already in place as the systems were moving on shore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawniganLake Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 What a strange outflow. I have never seen Bellingham warmer than here with strong outflow. I am at 29.2 they are around 30. I would expect them to be on the low 20's with my 29. Never seen it.Maybe to do with the later season timing. But the Fraser canyon just isn’t that cold at the surface. 26/27F this afternoon in Lillooet. Moderate that airmass a few degrees as it pushes south and you end up with 30 or so at Bellingham.
