Frontal Snowsquall Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Tell me about it. How do we go from "potentially historic" (Mark's own words) to this in a day?If the 12z EURO is correct, we'll have another good chance of snow here in PDX Metro starting in about a week.

Esquimalt Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 The 0z GFS looks mostly on board now, still seems a bit south of the other models but it might not have much of an impact for Victoria. This isn't an easy one to predict, I expect there will be a narrow band capable of producing upwards of 20cm somewhere. The 5-10cm range is probably a safe bet for here, but far from certain. I agree. But I do want the euro on board tonight. The past couple of events a bunch of models were showing gorgeous eye candy up until the day of the storm and nothing really happened (meanwhile the euro showed much more realistic totals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokaneekidz Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 You should fire up the boat and go waterskiing. Just be sure to steer clear of any icing...Got the family in the truck and headed to the lake house (Lake Goodwin in Stanwood) to check things out and then a stop at the store on the way back (was a ghost town, perfect time to shop) Our lake house faces the north, there was snow piled up on the sliding glass door! And my boat is still hibernating. Saw some vehicle casualties on the drive to the lake as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
