February 2019 Weather in the Pacific Northwest - Part 1

[TT-SEA]

Seems to be playing out like the ECMWF showed... daytime temps were irrelevant and cold air would really arrive in the early evening... best chance for accumulating snow on the east side of the Portland area.    

 

Deformation band is right about where it showed it would be at this time.

Nope. EURO's bad, listen to Cliffy.

[Thermal Trough]

Kid tested and Andrew approved!

Nice one!

[Jesse]

Coming down at a decent clip now. Matt how are you faring?

Radar is filling a bit. That's a good sign.

Hmmmm... Let me check the cams!

 

Still pretty light and eh. Dusting trying to get a little more universal.

[Esquimalt]

How do you islanders think Victoria will do on Friday?

[SilverFallsAndrew]

GFS ALERT

[Tyler Mode]

Maybe a 1/2" here in BG.  Just some on the roads, in the shaded areas.  Right at 30 degrees. 

[Requiem]

GFS ALERT

 

Nice Seattle snowstorm.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

240hrs from now looks fun

[luvssnow_spokane]

The GFS keeps us cold all the way out to 240 hours... impressive!

[Deweydog]

GFS ALERT

It’s been on for almost half an hour.

[ShawniganLake]

Is the pivotal resolution better than the tropical tidbits? Tropical tidbits shows a transition over to rain yet pivotal keeps it as snow. With the track shown I would bet it'll stay as snow but I'd like to hear your take on it.

I don’t often look at pivotal and precip type maps on tidbits aren’t very good. Given what the GFS shows, for your location, that looks like wet snow turning to heavy snow as the NE flow ramps up later Friday.

[FroYoBro]

Flurries starting up again. Here is my chance for a dusting!

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

The period from Friday through next week might really be fun

[SilverFallsAndrew]

My God it just doesn't stop.

[Deweydog]

Flurries starting up again. Here is my chance for a dusting!

Deformed thoughts and prayers coming your way from NE Hockinson!

[Requiem]

Snowing here.

Sounds like a Friday traffic nightmare. I'm scheduled to travel from UVIC to Bear mountain on Friday evening. Should be an interesting ride.

[GHweatherChris]

OLM already down to 19!!

You’re f*cked.

Pretty much impossible to nail down timing at this point. I think the late week period has much more potential then this past weekend had, in terms of snowfall for our area.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

You’re f*cked.

We're all 33 or have been 33.

[Andrew.]

00z WRF says half inch to 2 inches for the PDX metro area from west to east tonight

Way more North. Yakima is the bullseye

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Do you remember when you were 33? Lol

[SilverFallsAndrew]

OLM already down to 19!!

 

WOWZERS

[Blizzard777]

I just rembered a post on FB where people put their faces in the snow and their face imprint was left and looked really cool!

Tried it and all I got was a cold face and now I’m wide awake

Snopes...Fail

Fascinating although I don’t see the resemblance

Sorry if I scared anyone

[Esquimalt]

I agree, I'm just hoping for snow instead of 33 degree rain

It's possible a lot of what it's seeing has already fallen.

[Jesse]

Still coming down nicely out there. Getting close to 1/4". Temp down to 31.

[Requiem]

The band doesn't look like it's going anywhere yet, which is good.

Haha, that's actually pretty good. Looks like an actual human.

[ShawniganLake]

I wouldn’t expect much 33 degree rain from the upcoming pattern.

 

The WRF is going to be unbelievable eye candy if it shows as much moisture as the GFS is showing.

[epiceast]

It's possible a lot of what it's seeing has already fallen.

That's the case but it also has it dead by 10pm even in eastern Washington, so maybe there is more to come.

[Deweydog]

You look like the Mad Magazine guy.

[Farmboy]

Looks like fork-ready southerly flow at 360 hrs.

[ShawniganLake]

21F here after a high of 28F today.
