January 2019 Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[Front Ranger]

Day 4

 

 

More cold air, further south.

 

Hopefully Mark is still keeping his eye on this.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

At Day 4 the EURO is pretty similar to the FV-3, maybe a bit better.

[Deweydog]

Wait till next year.

Persistence on steroids!!

[Gradient Keeper]

Deep arctic air has easily sloshed westward over the Canadian Rockies. Bitter air mass to the north.

OMG, This is nearly a perfect setup! Could spin a nice low and send it right Down the be coast

[snow_wizard]

Wow!  The hammer just drops on the ECMWF between day 4 and 5.  It's bascially here in 5 days!

It's been a very long time since we've seen anything like that.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

CNN will not refer to that as a Polar Vortex.

[Front Ranger]

Timing has definitely moved up, comparing to last night's 0z. Still looks like a good snow pattern, with a better cold air source to work with.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Wish there had been this much cold air to work with in early January 2017.

Indeed.  That bitter cold air spilling over the ocean makes for tons of potential.

This looks like serious cold alright.

[Deweydog]

Yeah that’s pretty much the only time it would have been nice to have a little more cold air to work with.

 

Edit: there was that one other time too.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Phil will be gone for 2 weeks.

Day 6

 

[Deweydog]

Phil will be gone for 2 weeks.

He’s bizzy with his 600 screens monitoring the world’s real-time climate.

Day 6

 

 

Nice!

[luvssnow_spokane]

BOOM!!!!!!

[Gradient Keeper]

Trough swinging eastward too quickly. Not impressed

 

[TT-SEA]

ECMWF shows a c-zone from Everett eastward in Sunday afternoon... 

 

[snow_wizard]

The WRF is pretty impressive considering it's bsed on the less impressive operationa GFS.  Really cold and some widespread snow.

Can you post the map pls?

[TT-SEA]

Sort of fizzles out in the evening though and is gone by morning...

 

 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

EURO trending east like the FV-3. Possible trend preview. 

[snow_wizard]

Trough swinging eastward too quickly. Not impressed

 

 

Oh come on!  The cold pattern is going to last.  All models show an ongoing cold pattern now.

[snow_wizard]

EURO trending east like the FV-3.

 

Yeah...but the blocking remains off the coast and subsequent cold shots come in.  You guys are impossible.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Euro backing off it would seem. That’s too bad.

[Deweydog]

Well it was fun while it lasted. Thoughts on summer?

 

Oh, and f*ck this climate.

[Winterdog]

EURO trending east like the FV-3.

How surprising.

[Gradient Keeper]

I hope future runs shows the block Days 4-6 a few notches stronger and it might.

[Front Ranger]

Trough swinging eastward too quickly. Not impressed.

 

 

Despite cold temps arriving earlier, it's still easily colder than the 0z last night was for the same time.

[snow_wizard]

How anyone can be down about tonights runs is beyond me.

[snow_wizard]

Euro backing off it would seem. That’s too bad.

 

Whatever.
