I know we are like Leonardo DiCaprio on one of his yachts, waiting for the newest and freshest models to come out, but I just wanted to say Hi! I'm new to this forum. Studied meteorology at UW for two

Decent wind from the north with 3 inches on the ground in DT Everett.

 

I was expecting more in Everett based on the radar over the 12 hours.    

 

I-5 in Everett looks like a real challenge right now...

Snoqualmie Valley schools just announced they are closed for the day... takes lots of snow to do that out here.  

 

I believe the entire district has at least 6 inches on the ground.   But the fact that it will not warm up today probably also played a role.

Been a long time since many commuters have seen the major freeways snow covered!

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Nice lesson for the NWS and Cliff Mass about not fuckking ignoring the ECMWF surface maps!  

 

Hope they apply this lesson in the future.     :)

I’m a bit shocked frankly. Not sure why they discounted the ECMWF.

I understand that any surface map guidance can change at 3 days out because the upper level pattern can change from what is shown.

 

But when the upper level variables have been determined... never ignore the ECMWF. And never go with the WRF when the ECMWF and WRF are at odds. You will lose on that bet probably 98% of the time. The WRF has so many weaknesses that the ECMWF does not.

Surprised it looks like a lot of people still commuting to work. Looks like lots of accidents already.

I know, crazy so many are attempting it. Lot of blocked roads already.

Snow is lighter now and a north wind is surfacing here. It takes strong northerly flow for that to happen.

That wind might enhance the snowfall from Issaquah out to your area.

06z GFS ensembles are just about as consistently cold as the run the night before last everyone was drooling over.

6z GEFS High/Low temps for The Dalles. Significant modified arctic air progged for the Gorge and if there is(probably will be) east winds, PDX is going into the freezer! WOW! Through February 18th the ensemble mean doesn't even show a high temp reaching freezing!

Don't think so.

 

That upper level flow is driving snow to the NW despite the surface winds.

      May 2024 Pacific Northwest Weather

      FWIW I think I will be wrong about late May troughing. The EPS has slowed the MJO transit across the pacific such that dateline forcing now establishes late month (as opposed to completing late-month). So what looked like a troughy pattern after the 25th now gets pushed back a couple weeks into June. Though it’s possible the EPS is once again over-bullish on the WPAC/dateline MJO (which has been the case thus far) MJO and it’ll end up being a speedy CCKW type wave, which would render the ridging inconsequential.

      It's how fascism works. Fascists live almost exclusively in the realm of feelings, not reason or logic. The leader worship, the disdain for democratic norms (even long-held ones that, per the principles of conservatism, would be respected), the ambiguity between what is trolling and what is really being advocated, we all have seen it before in Italy and Germany.

      Has been pretty awesome here the last couple days. Moving further into Utah tomorrow morning. Zion way over exceeded my expectations for beauty.

      Thanks for making my point. The left has plenty of pet causes that upset us, yet we are not engaging in leader-worship and turning figures into a “vessel for our rage.”

      https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/trump-asked-oil-execs-for-1bn-2024%3famp I'm sure Andrew will figure out the mental gymnastics to justify destroying the supposed thing he loves in order for his dear leader to win. Legalized bribery ftw.
