Yeah... I am craving anything just remotely close to normal at this point.   But that is just me.    I know we have lots of snowy craziness ahead of us before that happens.

Looking forward to the snow then looking forward to a warm spell or two later in March.

We will be in Charleston in April.    Better not have eastern troughing then! 

We will be also!  Charleston and Savannah.  Never been before.  Charleston sounds like a really fun place to visit.

[SnarkyGoblin]

AccuWeather probability for Seattle Metro. Major buzzkill like NWS.

[Gummy]

SEA NWS will wait for the snow to start falling before issuing anything, although its a non event to them currently.

I liked this post then I HATED it.

Looks like PDX is holding between 35 and 36. Should end up 36-37 for a high. That is extremely respectable for 2/24 with full sunshine and relatively light winds.

Looks like I’ll end up with a 35/22 here. Doesn’t seem like there’s been a tremendous amount of melting aside from roads.

I'm jealous how much you travel, It is hard for me to take time off.

This is better than a pepto map for me!   And of course about as meaningful considering its the 18Z GFS in the long range.   

Don't ever change lol

Lot of melting in the sun today. Shade still has a lot though

Being able to work remotely definitely helps.

I guess i could take more time off but i'm very ocd with how my business operates so i find myself here to much.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

You know I've never talked about it on here but my dream at a young age was to be a meteorologist but my parents could not afford college so i did what was natural for me and became a auto technician. At age 10 i wanted to learn about weather. To this day it still breaks my heart i didn't get to do that.

 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Looks like the cabin area only reached 16 degrees today, D**n cold.

[TT-SEA]

18Z ECMWF for just the first of the 14 snow chances coming up in the next 10 days.     Slight uptick from 12Z run.

[Cold Snap]

18z Euro is looking improved for tomorrow night.

Euro looking good

I am going to need every inch of my 4,560 inches of elevation this weekend

[Rubus Leucodermis]

18Z maps still looking really good for MBY. Now under 36 hours to party time. It’s coming.

I haven’t been looking too close at tomorrow night but it seems like a setup where coast range damming spots are gonna kill it.

At least you get to share on here and your comments are valued… so I think that still counts for something!

I’m wondering if this could somehow be similar to the event back in early December when the GFS was showing the higher precip totals and they ended up verifying. This obviously isn’t the same setup but I’m curious if the Euro is undergoing the precip again like it did for that event.

Thank you, and this is the reason why my auto business kicks a** over all my local competition I am real, play no games with high pressure sales bs and I'm honest.

I will say i have a awesome handle on the Kitsap peninsula weather and forecasting snow. I have spent 35 years learning all i could about this area. I knew right where to look when i found my home. I remember the agent thought i was nuts when i kept saying no to places that were not 500ft or more elevation hahahaha

Definitely remembering the 500ft+ elevation rule the next time I move!!

Quick poll for all: Was snowfall a factor in you choosing your current place of residence?

For me, YES.

Yes! I wanted to stay within the Shoreline to Marysville area so I was in prime convergence zone territory, makes it easier since I grew up in this area and have everything here but it was still a thought! I should have thought more about elevation though.

Yeah Forest Grove, Banks, Vernonia, etc should do very well tomorrow night. I'm close enough to the Coast Range that I might do pretty half decently too. We'll see.
