Esquimalt Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 if it comes in while snow is still dumping, we could see blowing snow and maybe even blizzard conditions in spots. Yeah we were talking about earlier how this could meet the environment canada's blizzard warning criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-SEA Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Schools were closed yesterday and today... might be closed Friday... almost for sure will be closed Monday and Tuesday and maybe even longer. Then its mid-winter break. They might go to school just 3 days between Feb 1-25. **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR.SNOWMIZER Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 The legendary 1989 blast was 24mb. The also legendary 1990 December blasts were 25mb. So this would be unbelievable.It's also important to note that the gradient is around the area that would cause the high wind. If the gradient difference was further north the air wouldn't be squeezed as hard. We come from the land of the ice and snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmcgaffey Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 And just for perspective... the 12Z ECMWF showed a temperature of 30 degrees in Seattle on Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. with the precip starting as snow.I doubt SEA would be at 30 at 4pm unless there was another shot of air from the north before and cloud cover. Friday will be warmer than today and even today was warmer than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swamp Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 I'm confused reading the last two pages. It looks like it starts as rain, as it usually does in the swamp and then changes over to a slop and then accumulates to 4-8"? These "L" sliding down the coast usually kick up an onshore flow that warms the atmosphere. Honestly, this arctic blast to me has been pretty pathetic. Sure I got 3" of snow but D**n, where were the ripping North winds in the south sound? I don't think any of that cold dry air ever made it down here. It's barely 32 outside and that's probably because there is some slop on the ground. Did I miss the cold north winds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
