[Requiem]

Early Saturday morning...

 

 

That looks identical to the previous one.....

[joaqweri]

we're getting there now. euro has already 2-4" in seattle by 10pm friday.

We are having a all company meeting in Renton Sunday through Weds. I am coordinating it and am honestly getting a little concerned I will even be able to get there. We have 20 people flying in on Sunday and at this point as thrilled as I am about the snow, I am also a little stressed out .

[bainbridgekid]

Thank you as always for the Euro snow maps Tim.

 

Looks pretty fantastic so far.

[TT-SEA]

Total snow through Saturday morning.   The Seattle snow is almost all on Friday night.

Does the moisture cut off after that?

[TT-SEA]

My area is going to be buried on Friday.   I bet we get another 10 inches.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Good lord. The EURO gives me 10-12" by 4pm Saturday.

[TT-SEA]

Saturday morning 4-10 a.m.

 

[Esquimalt]

My area is going to be buried on Friday.   I bet we get another 10 inches.

Why don't we get much snow up here?

I would have a breakdown having to worry about al of that in the midst of this.  As it is I'm getting a little whacky.

[TT-SEA]

Saturday afternoon... a chance to dig out here.

I think the storm may swing out over the ocean a bit too far south for you to be in the favorable area.  Still a lot of time for details to adjust though.

[VancouverIslandSouth]

Total snow through Saturday morning.   The Seattle snow is almost all on Friday night.

 

 

Pretty similar if not a bit less than other models are showing down there. But substantially less than nearly every other model is showing up here. Will be interesting which comes out on top.

I am honestly a little bit panicked but not much else I can do.

Saturday evening...

 

 

Early Sunday morning...

 

[snow_wizard]

The GFS ensemble has 850s bottoming around 9C below normal now early next week.  It is also much more robust with the day 10 thing.  This is insane!!!!!

[TT-SEA]

Sunday morning...

 

[Requiem]

Hmm...not that great for PDX. Unless I'm mistaken.

[GHweatherChris]

[TT-SEA]

Wider view... Sunday afternoon.    Seems pretty clear now that we are going to a have an absolutely crazy Friday night and Saturday morning in the Seattle area and then it will be quieter and cold the rest of the weekend.

 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

This EURO run is fine, but not nearly as crazy as the 12z

[plainguy]

 

Just wanted to add to Fred's # of members on-line. I am sure he has seen this IP address hundreds of times (not joking). I have learned quite a bit lurking since god knows when (10+ years?). I don't know if most of you are brilliant, or total nut cases. Most likely a combination. Don't plan on exposing my soft under-belly quite yet. SNOW WATCH TIME

[Requiem]

This EURO run is fine, but not nearly as crazy as the 12z

 

Definitely a lot worse so far.

[Esquimalt]

The issue is the other models keep the low up north longer. The euro sends the low flying south really quick.

[Guest Sounder]

Hmm...not that great for PDX. Unless I'm mistaken.

Good.

[Timmy]

Definitely a lot worse so far.

you are a hoot and a half

[Requiem]

Good.

 

Why? 

[Esquimalt]

Do you have the total snow map from the event?

[Requiem]

you are a hoot and a half

 

Yeah, you're real funny too. 

[TT-SEA]

Snowing again Monday morning...

 

[Timmy]

Yeah, you're real funny too.

Your*

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I knew after the 12z EURO everyone would hold subsequent model runs to that standard. This run is solid, would be a pretty significant event if it panned out this way. 00z GFS was great. GEM is solid. Ensembles improving. We'll see flucuations, but this map does not suck...For anyone.

 

[VancouverIslandSouth]

The issue is the other models keep the low up north longer. The euro sends the low flying south really quick.

 

Yep, we'd benefit most with a slow moving/stalled low in this case. Could go either way, though more models seem to support a slower moving low at the moment. A fast moving low is not a trend we'd want to see.

[Cloud]

Definitely a lot worse so far.

You’re complaining about getting 5-7” for PDX here.

[TT-SEA]

[Timmy]

It’s recently super pessimistic Andrew approved. It must not suck!

[Esquimalt]

I’m gonna bet that the euro will come around to the slow mover tomorrow

I missed the 6-hour designation at the top...

[TT-SEA]

Monday afternoon...
