February Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[van city]

Now this is wrong.

[Geos]

Awesome.

 

[BLI snowman]

It's okay...

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Interesting to see what this feature does aside from pull more cold air west...

 

[wxmet]

GGEM 1000mb-500mb thickness is similar to the GFS. Wouldn't be surprised if it's too warm given that profile. 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Wow what a run. Looks to get good around hrs also.

[ShawniganLake]

The GEM wasn't that bad. I mean it wasn't great, but it does still show some promise.

Yea I just saw it. Blocking actually pretty favourable. Actually improved later in the run.

[snow_wizard]

Wow what a cold run!  The coldest one yet.

Give Tigerwoodlibido a wet dream.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Give Tigerwoodlibido a wet dream.

 

It stays west. This is a solid run. Sub-522 Thickness at PDX for about 72 hours straight, at least. 

[Poulsbo Snowman]

I need a cigarette.

[Kayla]

It's okay...

 

Meh...

[snow_wizard]

You know we're in good shape if you can call a run like the 0z GEM bad.

[snow_wizard]

Looks like I'm headed to the low 20s here tonight.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

The long range is close to good...

[TigerWoodsLibido]

That was downright pornographic.  Shades of last Dec-Jan 16-17.

[snow_wizard]

The GFS is certainly into historic territory for duration of a late season cold wave.  It shows one reinforcement after another.

[Front Ranger]

Meh...

 

Record-breaking cold is usually impressive, but it's just not our year.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Oh god and it just keeps on coming lol.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Just one model run guys! Let's not spike the football on the 20 yard line!

[ShawniganLake]

Hr 336. Incoming. The run that just keeps on giving.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Very very cold trough to end the month.

[Geos]

Hmmm. GEM showing snow pretty low tomorrow night.

You called it a game with a whole quarter to go earlier today.

It's certainly no 2011...

That may have been strategy!

[snow_wizard]

Nice snow for King County on this run.  The Weatherbell maps also show two days with freezing max temps.

 

 

[Front Ranger]

That may have been strategy!

 

It may have worked!!!

Yeah, sneaky setup there but the heavily modified arctic stuff here now may be hard to scour out right away.

The RGEM even more intense. Possible CZ setup from Everett to Tim's area?

 

 

[snow_wizard]

Another thing that will be interesting to watch on this is whether we can score two separate Arctic blasts.  If so that would be extremely rare for a late season event.

Given how low the dps are right now it could happen.

That model is almost always too aggressive with snowfall. However, the 3km NAM does show some areas of lowland snowfall as well.

Ok, I'll stop.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Can the king top that later? Gonna be a tall order.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

The Ecmwf will be east bound and down.

[ShawniganLake]

So far GFS ensemble is looking much colder.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

The new 00z GFS looks excellent! Cold with plenty of snow chances throughout the run. The 00z ICON came in even colder! Onto the 00z King EURO! Let's go!
