February 2019 Weather in the Pacific Northwest - Part 1

[FroYoBro]

Pics plz!

Don’t you worry, I’ll get them! I’ll be outside with a microscope later tonight looking for one wet flake.

[TT-SEA]

Driveway cleared. Game was too boring. Guessing we have close to 3 inches. Pretty out there with the snow caked on the trees.

 

[El_Nina]

Yeah I don’t think we are gonna get there.

At least we can medicate!

[BLI snowman]

I've been talking about the HRRRs consistency for the valley since about noon today...m

 

It won't be close to right.

F*ck you.

[Parksvillewx]

This band of strait effect snow is just parked here dumping. Haven't seen snowfall rates like this here in a while.

 

[GHweatherChris]

Flow is trying to shift with offshore moisture.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Low is moving south very slow.

[HighlandExperience]

Low is moving south very slow.

I’d imagine that’s good for us

[TT-SEA]

If you run the loop here (lower right corner) it sort of looks like the low is moving to the southwest south of VI.

[Deweydog]

PDX down to 42.

 

Midnight low?

I think it looks like that because it finally started to move, and in a couple hours it will look to be heading south.

[Deweydog]

Snowing HARD now at mom and dad’s!

Yeah... always tough to decipher loops like that.

[TT-SEA]

Awesome image.  

 

Still looks like its moving to the SW there.  

[umadbro]

Portland radar down... Again...

[Deweydog]

where they at?

Just outside Ilwaco. They got about 150’ now at their new place which is full on alpine out there.

[Deweydog]

Wasn’t the radar down last February too?

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Portland radar down... Again...

Unbelievable!

[GHweatherChris]

Healthy band just making the coast, looks to be holding together this time.

[GHweatherChris]

Minutely at best.

Where do you live?

[GHweatherChris]

In between Aberdeen and Montesano. Google map Karjala Rd in Aberdeen. That's not the road I live on but it's very close.

[dairyd]

Awesome image.

I LOVE the new satt. if you line up the beg/end circulation I come up with almost due south on 6 hour timeframe but it is a guess, it might be jogging at the last few frames.

 

one interesting thing is the convection n/s along the olympic coast pulling from the low level moisture vs. the upper level moisture that's generating the squalls inland at the moment.  could be the overnight snowmaker that overperforms?

32.3*

Snow is very ver6 light

[Jesse]

Looks like I have over ten pages to catch up on since this morning.

 

Great to see the Puget Sound area get a decent event. Fraser outflow looks a lot colder than I was anticipating at this stage. Snow chances seem slim down here but I think we could still see a surprise the next 24-36 hours.

 

18z ensembles, 12z Euro, and EPS all look good for extended cold and a lot more snow chances for everyone

 

Those are my hot takes for now.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Dumping here and 30 degrees 1.5 inch.

When's the next episode of "Jesse's Hot takes"?

[Guest hawkstwelve]

About 2.75 inches here. Pleasantly surprised.

 

[Deweydog]

Cold beats warm in the worst SB ever!!!

[Frontal Snowsquall]

About 2.75 inches here. Pleasantly surprised.

 

Congrats!

[TT-SEA]

FV3 is snowy for the Puget Sound region into tomorrow morning but totally dry after 10 a.m.

[Jesse]

It was nice and snowy at June Lake south of Mount St Helens today.

 

 

[Requiem]

There are flakes here, yay. But precip will soon cut out and the temperature's not falling anytime soon, so....

[Deweydog]

Teens in Belllingham!!!

[MikeInEverett]

Will probably be at half a foot by the morning if most of the models are correct.

 

I don’t know why it’s sideways.

I saw the webcams awhile ago. Looked impressive.

[Perturbed Member]

39.7F! Decent accumulations in spots, can start to see the beginning of a puddle. Score!
