D**n. Go Euro!

[TT-SEA]

Total snow through day 7... next Sunday evening.   Looks precip is about over at that time.  

 

[Winterdog]

That has snow written all over it!

 

Edit: beat me to it

Not much snow. Hope that changes.

Day 8 massive block!

Highs for next Sunday... looks like scattered snow shower type of day.   

 

[Winterdog]

2” or more many places isn’t bad

I feel like snow chances/totals will increase as we get closer, this is going to be the best event in 6yrs!

Really comes down to the c-zone on Sunday... you should do well up there.   

 

The rest of the area might be scrounging for accumulating snow before it turns dry on Sunday evening.   

[TT-SEA]

Highs on Monday (day 8)... colder than 12Z run.

 

 

Also dry and sunny...

Mossman always does well with C-zone snow. I’m going to be sad if we get dry shafted.

Lows on Tuesday morning (day 9)...

Chilly in Vegas

BRRRRR!!!

Really happy the mountains will get a good refresher. 1-2” of snow and a low of 12 isn’t all that impressive here. Not that that’s what’s exactly going to happen.

Day 10 block reorganizing. If you extrapolated ahead Days 11-14 block axis probably around 160 W with 1-2 reloads.

Chilly all the way down to Cabo!   Glad we will be in Hawaii... that would suck.

Is that a white spot over Monmouth?

[TT-SEA]

I missed this little snowy gem late on day 9 into day 10... that is Tuesday night into Wednesday.

Looks like the slider the GFS and GEM were hinting at too. These can produce heavy snow accumulations like in December 2013. Too soon to say where this goes but somebody will likely get clobbered.

How'd your area do in Feb 2011?

I think we did pretty good. That as a long time ago.
