Low a little south of last night's run.

Yep, and deeper.

 

Day 5

Not a wind pattern though #sadface

 

Too bad.

 

Yep, and deeper.

 

Day 5

 

I like this low! Looks better for our area, this was the one that showed blustery winds last run too.

My comment was for the entire region, not just the part you want to talk about. Thank you very much!!

Southern BC is my region too. I can get to Vancouver BC in less time than Portland.

 

But you can't generalize too much. Some areas were quite wet this year and some areas were very dry.

 

That is like saying a snowstorm that hits only SW WA and Oregon was region wide event... while we got absolutely nothing up here. Broad brush strokes don't always work.

d**n. 0% chance of verification though.

It does pretty good up here when there is overrunning moisture with cold air already in place. Not sure about Victoria. It’s real weakness is driving the cold air in too quickly when an outflow starts to kick in. Those amounts are pretty much in line with what the GFS output would suggest. Not that it matters when we are looking at day 6 maps.

Dare I ask...

 

Any wind potential?

Too far offshore, unfavorable trajectory. Possible wind event for the headlands/coast.

Get Him!

[TT-SEA]

Yeah we go to the bar and grill and outlet mall there every so often.

 

 

North Bend Bar and Grill is good... but we avoid the Outlet Mall on weekends and holidays.    We have the place all to ourselves during the week.

[Requiem]

Get Him!

 

Get who?

[Jbolin]

An arctic front, the leading southern edge of an arctic air mass dropping south over us.

Dude I know, I was being a smartass

[Jbolin]

Get who?

Oh good god, nevermind.

[Timmy]

Get who?

self-awareness is a beautiful thing!

[Requiem]

Oh good god, nevermind.

 

It's really not my fault if you make incoherent comments which lack substance, sorry.

The north bend "outlet" mall is a joke.

[Jbolin]

Maybe if you weren't slow with regards to sarcasm you wouldn't be questioning my posts.

 

But I digress, let me do some research and post some random 200+hr snow maps and nonexistent wind scenarios and hope "for the best" while I piss and moan about how the regional Willamette valley hasn't had a decent "wind event" so far this winter season. 

[Requiem]

Perhaps you should focus on making relevant comments instead of these inane throwaways, hmm?

 

EDIT: Yes, if you can't tell by now, I'm just a tad bit annoyed. Don't mind me.

I just go for the cherry blossoms.. 

 

 

 

 

First pic was early March 2018... second pic was mid-February 2016.

The irony here is 2 much

We'll see how 12z runs look tomorrow. A lot of model volatility Days 3-6.

 

12z GFS in 8 hours 42 minutes

12z ECMWF in 11 hours

Seas have been relatively calm lately, wonder what the Gorton's fisherman has been up to? 

 

[MossMan]

Lots of potential coming up!

In other news it’s currently 33 here.

[Jbolin]

Dude, don't put words into my mouth, that's what Tim, Jesse and Dewey are for. 

[Timmy]

Someone hates me.

no one hates you. You just rub some the wrong way.

[Requiem]

Guess so.

[ShawniganLake]

Sorry K12 but Portland ends up in no mans land for wind. Storms go north then south then north.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

29 in Monmouth. Nice and crunchy.

I wish I could say I'm surprised. 

 

And I'm 99% sure that Portland ends up drier than areas N. and S. as well.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Hopefully the overnight run is as orgasmic as last night.

 

Night shift? You guys ready?

Can you post the WB snowfall map? The free weather.us site is still loading.

He claims to have retired. I dunno. I asked him if he looked at 00z or was interested. These are his replies.

I’m thinking it’ll be blank for the lowlands
