SeanNyberg Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 For those in the Seattle area - how many times have we heard "this is an isolated event, NOT a widespread snow event!"I feel like 98% of the time they hit us with that line. I mean, it is normally absolutely correct, but I would always long for a widespread snow event like we would get in the late 80s and early 90s.Looks like that dream is coming true! While exact amounts may vary, it seems (no jinxing here) that this might (some hedging) be a rare widespread potential (some more hedging) snow event!**Wow - almost took my breath away to write that! Even though it's still early and things can and will change (one more for good measure)** 2 -------------------- Sean Nyberg IG: @SeanNyberg X: @SeanNyberg Facebook: Sean Nyberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherfan2012 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 While O/N/D have been cranking out warm records like a machine over North America in recent years, F/M/A have definitely tried to make up the difference.Impressive stuff in the context of this warm climate era, both with the recent Midwest cold and now the ongoing and still upcoming western cold. Not to mention the big February 2015 cold in the east. what's funny phil is everyone includeing promets had all this cold in the east for this February not many had this kind of cold pattern in the west.it the winter that has pretty much threw alot of forecasters and long rangers through a loop.mother nature at her best reminding us that she still the boss and she going to do what she wants to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bainbridgekid Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 FWIW, the NAM gives Bellingham 11 inches Friday night into Saturday morning and basically nothing for Seattle.

joelgombiner Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 New user, longtime Seattle snow fan. My PhD work is on ice age geology of Washington. Seems newly relevant. The way this weather pattern is developing, we should have mammoths back in the Puget Lowland by March. Trying to understand more about what is causing this current weather pattern. From reading this thread I see there are links to sudden stratospheric warming, high pressure over the NE Pacific, and I have seen mention of extratropical forcing. Anybody know of a good read on this for a total non-meteorologist? 5 Useful weather links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Just running through the EPS frame by frame, it actually looks significantly warmer with the 500mb pattern Tuesday and Wednesday. Cuts more energy off under the block, kind of like the 12z GFS tried to do. Might be something to watch going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully everyone is able to just enjoy this as long as it lasts, even if it doesn't turn into the longest blocking episode on record. A forum for the end of the world.

Jesse Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Just fwiw I looked at the 12z EPS yesterday to compare and it was showing something similar for that time frame. So maybe the op is overriding that solution. That or there just happens to be more ensemble spread around then since it is kind of a tricky 500mb configuration to model. I was glad to see it’s not a new/emerging trend at least, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
