February 2019 Weather in the Pacific Northwest - Part 1

[Geos]

Man this is an interesting low pressure position. Still dumping rain in Walla Walla...

 

That is pretty weird.

Not often you see snow here and rain there at the same time.

Your test didn’t come through again

NEVER discount the ECMWF precip maps in the short range.  Me bets the NWS will have to issue a WWA soon.  They should anyway, because this is all going to freeze up and make treacherous driving conditions.

[Blizzard777]

Loosing light...getting ready to use the other weather tool we use at night

36* no wind

[GHweatherChris]

Your test didn’t come through again

Ok

[Guest hawkstwelve]

Here is through 10AM Tuesday for our Oregon folks.

 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Starting to fill in on the east slopes of olympics now. Flow is changing.

[Requiem]

Here is through 10AM Tuesday for our Oregon folks.

 

 

Just as lame as before. Gonna have to live vicariously through the traffic cams up in the Sound.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

I mounted a 3000 lumen led light on my porch. Should look cool in the snow tonight.

[Geos]

Down to 30.6* here now. 

0.8"-0.9" here so far 

[snow_wizard]

Cliff Mass should have known better.  Pretty shocking mistake coming from him.

 

The error on the MM5 models was too much easterly gradient.

[Guest hawkstwelve]

Still coming down good in Redmond. Not sticking to the roads yet but everything else is white.

 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

North winds down to bremerton airport.

[umadbro]

Langley radar looks like the energy is sagging south. Hrrr has also been consistent with snow in the valley from about 10pm to 5-6am.

[Requiem]

Looks like I'll have school tomorrow just as expected 

[dairyd]

almost 0 deg. windchill now in Whatcom Co.

 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

[snow_wizard]

I have a quarter inch now and down to 35.

[Esquimalt]

Radar is showing green returns here and yet nothing is falling. Any ideas why?

[seattleweatherguy]

Down to 30.6* here now.

0.8"-0.9" here so far

Wow got none on cement here.

[MikeInEverett]

Should start sticking to the pavement soon as it’s getting dark and colder.

[VancouverIslandSouth]

Painfully close to that northern part of the band as it begins to rotate, hopefully it doesn't fall apart on arrival.

[Farmboy]

Cliff Mass should have known better.  Pretty shocking mistake coming from him.

 

The error on the MM5 models was too much easterly gradient.

Sticking to their guns come hell or high water. Got to give credit for their tenacity.

[The Swamp]

Light rain in the swamp.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Lots of people spiking the football on the 10 yard line.

[seattleweatherguy]

Stopped snowimg here

[Esquimalt]

Painfully close to that northern part of the band as it begins to rotate, hopefully it doesn't fall apart on arrival.

I’m under it supposedly and there is nothing falling. Probably in a bad state of deterioration

[HighlandExperience]

Light rain in the swamp.

Should turn over there soon. Temps dropping

[TigerWoodsLibido]

[Requiem]

Light rain in the swamp.

 

At least you're predicted to get at least some. 

[VancouverIslandSouth]

Radar is showing green returns here and yet nothing is falling. Any ideas why?

 

Hard to tell how heavy it is, but it's likely virga. That said snow also takes while to reach the surface, so it will show up on the radar before you see it falling.

[Deweydog]

Lots of people spiking the football on the 10 yard line.

That’s called a fumble.

[Deweydog]

At least you're predicted to get at least some.

You’ll get some snow, kiddo. Go run around the block a couple times. Burn some nervous energy.

[TT-SEA]

Lots of people spiking the football on the 10 yard line.

 

 

This is a done deal for the Seattle area... tomorrow morning is going to be crazy around here.    Freeways will be a mess.  

[El_Nina]

Looks like I'll have school tomorrow just as expected

Ccchhhiiilllll

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

1.5 inches in east bremerton.

[umadbro]

Lots of people spiking the football on the 10 yard line.

By "lots" you mean the same 3 people?

[Geos]

30.3* here now. Starting to ice up now. 

[dairyd]

Don't doubt the ECMWF within close range... you are asking to be burned otherwise.  

 

The thing is, if you just take 10 min. to take your nose out of your precious model and look at the sattelite you can see the advection and frontogenesis in real time.  At that point you know what the model doesn't.  That means you aren't a met anymore but a model rider like the rest of the internet kids.
