That would be snow in the air IMBY for sure with the 522 line right here.

I like that dark strip of color right over my place!

[luvssnow_spokane]

Warning shot?

maybe more than that!

[crf450ish]

What the fu

Can you imagine nearly 2 feet of snow on the ground in Portland with daytime highs not getting out of the teens?

[Guest Sounder]

Best run INSIDE of Day 7 of the entire Winter. C'MON!!!!

Easily. And the set up for the next few days looks primed for something really nice. First time I've frantically refreshed for individual pages of a model run all season.

Day 7

[Gradient Keeper]

So CLOSE

[luvssnow_spokane]

Not bad but not GREEAAT.

[TT-SEA]

Just slight eastward shift (as opposed to just offshore) and BAM... back in business!

[Frontal Snowsquall]

So CLOSE

Very close. Flow turns offshore.

[Farmboy]

It looks like it's digging on the 500 mb pattern, so what is holding up the cold air?

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Did the icon grab this before the gfs???

[Front Ranger]

Offshore ridge just needs to stay a bit more amplified. Still, I'd imagine this would deliver a bit of lowland snow.

[TT-SEA]

Some lowland snow on this run.. particularly for Randy!  

 

[Gradient Keeper]

Day 8

[MossMan]

Some lowland snow on this run.. particularly for Randy!

 

Much nicer run!

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Day 8

Cold!

 

[Gradient Keeper]

Absolutely zero model agreement with the GFS, GEM, EURO after Day 4, but hey we have the EURO improving and I always like to see that far more than the GFS out on its own island with the Drunk Uncle for company.

 

Night shift tonight?

 

 

Colder runs ah.....

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Some lowland snow on this run.. particularly for Randy!

 

Looks snowy on the Oregon beaches.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

The king has come through!

 

Night shift is gonna be good tonight!

[Front Ranger]

The GEM was an improvement overall as well, though obviously not nearly as good as the Euro. FV3 looked similar and improved as well around days 9-10.
