Surprised this didn’t wake up@SouthHillFrosty somehow. Assume he has an alert set up for a 384hr map like this

We need that 129 inch snow total over Seattle for this to be legit 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Well…

[ShawniganLake]

Wow. What a great GFS run. Over 60” for parts of southern Vancouver island. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Hope we can lock this in. 

[Doinko]

EPS mean gets down to -6.3 at day 15, that's really impressive for so far out

My unmolested grass is starting to get uncomfortably long all of a sudden…Though I worked at a golf course for nearly 10yrs so my definition of long is most likely different than most lol! 

You and me both!!

Incredible gfs run, if it were any other month I would laugh it off but it's February.

Tim would be very quick to remind y’all that the sun angles are increasing…spring is coming and that most of these maps are USELESS.

First post I read today... very nice.

I never said anything about sun angles.   Through the first half of March we can be buried under the right circumstances.   I have said the GEFS snowfall maps are useless which is obviously true.   And I said we need the EPS on board.    It has now come into view on the EPS and its totally on board.   I am pretty certain something big is coming now.

Don’t worry. No one actually gives a sh*t about what you think.

Day 8

Day 9

[RentonHill]

GEM day 9

[TT-SEA]

Interestingly the GFS and GEM have been showing a c-zone in south King County and north Pierce County on Monday night... which is farther south than usual.    This is probably because the departing system is heading south and not east.    Something to watch as it could be another south Sound special... which has been fairly common this winter.

[RentonHill]

Day 10 GFS and GEM

[Cloud]

Coming back from mid-90s weather last few days to snow soon-ish? Nice! My body is ready. 

[Christensen87]

GFS has been pretty adamant with the fun starting around the 22nd.

Good catch, thanks Tim. I haven’t really been paying attention…. Might have to now!

Tim’s preferred type of vortex!

Do you know how cool that would be for some one-in-a-million year type thing to happen while we're alive. Even if it only had minor effects on our experience on earth but totally altered how something is forever...like an asteroid taking a chunk out of mars or something. Or a piece of the sun breaking off and forming a mini sun-moon thing. So cool

This is obviously all just coded language saying that it will not snow a single inch, because Tim has a well-known warm bias and never gets enthusiastic about snow.
