February 2019 Weather in the Pacific Northwest - Part 1

[FroYoBro]

 

Heaviest snow is right over Beaverton.

 

Yep, really coming down nicely right now. 

[Deweydog]

567dm line visits Anchorage. That’s good, not decent.

[Guest hawkstwelve]

Down to 15.8 here. Brrrrrrrr.

[seattleweatherguy]

Early Friday morning per the 00Z ECMWF...

 

Snow for cali?

[VancouverIslandSouth]

Ah but they still saw flakes in the air?

 

Well maybe if you count some of the dust that was blowing off the ground in the morning. The micro flakes that fell all came after dark. I did see a few minutes of hail if that counts.

[MossMan]

14.8.

I would hope you've at least been able to enjoy some cold temps?

The fact we scored right as the block was first forming is huge. Usually we wait around for the block to setup in the right place and it is unstable by the time we start to get the goods so it only lasts a few days.

[TT-SEA]

25 here... still cloudy.   

[TT-SEA]

Friday morning through 10 a.m.

 

[Jesse]

28 and overcast here. Snow has ligthtened up a bit, probably about a half inch out there. Enough to give everything that bright look on a cloudy night.

[TT-SEA]

Friday afternoon....

Thing is, this round didn’t really have any traditional blocking. It was kinda piecemealed together with some odd assistance from the persistent split flow pattern.

Euro is significantly colder at hour 96 than the GFS. Drops the low South more quickly so there is way less Southerly intrusion. Don't have precip maps though so no idea how this effects snow totals. Looks better for the Sound though.

 

[TT-SEA]

And here we go... Friday evening.

 

[Esquimalt]

And here we go... Friday evening.

 

Clear move towards the gfs

[TT-SEA]

Saturday morning... South Sound Special!  

 

[bainbridgekid]

Euro is also way colder at hour 120.

 

I'm sure the snow maps will be beautiful, especially areas further South.

1 to 2 inches not bad

[Timmy]

Euro is also way colder at hour 120.

 

I'm sure the snow maps will be beautiful, especially areas further South.

 

 

that low seems weaker though

[Deweydog]

EAST WINDS.

[Requiem]

Still not letting up here. Looks like the band is shifting a bit west with more development to the east.

[Front Ranger]

Sure it did. There was a major -EPO at the end of January that set the stage for this.

[ShawniganLake]

Clear move towards the gfs

A little further north, still a big snow focused in Washington state

[Esquimalt]

A little further north, still a big snow focused in Washington state

I hope the euro will come to the gfs solution instead of the other way around

[TT-SEA]

GFS and ECMWF agree quite well on Saturday.   00Z ECMWF is just slightly farther north of its 12Z run.  

[Requiem]

Sunday looks great for PDX, actually. Cold east winds.

[VancouverIslandSouth]

I would hope you've at least been able to enjoy some cold temps?

 

I wouldn't say enjoy, but it's been cold here and we had an interesting sky this morning. I hope it never gets to the point where I consider this a decent snowfall:

 

[TT-SEA]

Saturday morning 4-10 a.m.

 

[Esquimalt]

GFS and ECMWF agree quite well on Saturday. 00Z ECMWF is just slightly farther north of its 12Z run.

Do you have total maps through the end of the event?

[El_Nina]

Still snowing moderately and 29. Up to 1.5"

[TT-SEA]

Saturday afternoon...

 

[TT-SEA]

Do you have total maps through the end of the event?

 

No idea when the event ends.   

 

Here is the event through Saturday at 4 p.m.

 

[Slade]

Absolutely got shafted. Max accumulations reported have been 2 inches in the Triangle Mountain area of Colwood (west of downtown). There apparently was more snow up in the Duncan area, but down here it was a bust.

I live on triangle mountain....got maybe a quarter of an inch

[TT-SEA]

Saturday evening...

 

[Deweydog]

Ho f*cking hum... another system rolling down the hill on Monday...

[Esquimalt]

I live on triangle mountain....got maybe a quarter of an inch

Wow. Must have been on the west facing slope or something

[Perturbed Member]

D**n looks like OR lowlands get screwed again this weekend. 

[Requiem]

How does Sunday look for PDX?

[MossMan]

No idea when the event ends.

 

Here is the event through Saturday at 4 p.m.

 

Need this bad boy to shift just a few more miles north.
