February Snowfalls 2/10-2/12, Part III & IV

[Andrew.]

Down to 30.3 now and heaviest snow of the evening. 830 feet in the west hills of Portland.

 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Omg thunder snow with lighting!! Wow wow i can't believe i got to experience that!!

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

I dont think I've ever seen it snow this hard in my life

[FroYoBro]

Crazy how strong the south winds are right now and it is still snowing. Pretty strange.

Omg thunder snow with lighting!! Wow wow i can't believe i got to experience that!!

 

So cool! I'm jealous, thundersnow is my dream (well, other than blizzard conditions).

[TT-SEA]

Lol, "literally hundreds of posts"? I would say prove it but you actually might try, but be wrong.

 

 

Whatever Tim, end of conversation.

Hundreds... most runs of most models based entirely on what it showed for you. I could pull up 20 of them 5 minutes.

[wxmet]

It looks like the Midwest here now. Visibility between .25 to .5 of a mile. Heavy Snow/Fog.

[Deweydog]

So cool! I'm jealous, thundersnow is my dream (well, other than blizzard conditions).

Poor windstorms...

[Geos]

Dumping here in the last 10 minutes. Huge flakes.

[Requiem]

Poor windstorms...

 

You guys already know how I am about windstorms, that doesn't need explaining

The Portland area had some in January 2017.

Looks awesome, my brother in Shawnigan says he is up to about 9" tonight and 2" in the past 1/2hr.

 

About 5" on the day here

[Jbolin]

Omg thunder snow with lighting!! Wow wow i can't believe i got to experience that!!

Was that the flash I saw about 2 mins ago?

[Geos]

Not when we might get 20 inches in the next 36 hours. Starts to become a concern for many reasons.

 

There go roofs and carports...

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

1.6 inches of snow in last 30 mins wtf.

[GHweatherChris]

Hundreds... most runs of most models based entirely on what it showed for you. I could pull up 20 of them 5 minutes.

Let it go...

 

And let people enjoy what they want without a lecture from you. Mmmmkay!!

Still very bummed I didn't see any that day. Fog was very thick that day, more than I've seen in a while. Anyways, I guess this is like a week of 1/10/17s for Puget Sound! Each storm looks just as impressive as that one was for us.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Was that the flash I saw about 2 mins ago?

Yep

[snow_wizard]

Looks like it might be getting close.  The sky is glowing not too far from here which usually means heavy snow is coming.

[bainbridgekid]

1.6 inches of snow in last 30 mins wtf.

Remarkable. This system is clearly far more juicy than modeled.

 

Snow has really picked up here in the last few minutes after picking up a half inch in the last two hours of light snow.

[Geos]

Omg thunder snow with lighting!! Wow wow i can't believe i got to experience that!!

 

That's awesome! That is usually a Midwest specialty. 

[BLI snowman]

OLM is 31 with south winds gusting to 38mph.

 

That's just weird.

[Weiner Warrior]

Who's in Bremerton? Looks like they are getting nailed.

[Front Ranger]

 

Impressive. Nothing like a good snow squall.

[Randyc321]

Look at this beast headed right for the island.  

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Once I move to Indiana maybe I will get to experience a proper snowfall.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Not when we might get 20 inches in the next 36 hours. Starts to become a concern for many reasons.

 

If that happens, the old 1916 record for snowiest February is in serious jeopardy.

[snow_wizard]

Hope you are right.

 

The latest GFS was very confident most of the precip will be snow for the major part of the event.  The numbers were better than the 12z.  Then of course the ECMWF shows us getting a lot.  Never doubt that model on stuff like that.

[TT-SEA]

Let it go...

 

And let people enjoy what they want without a lecture from you. Mmmmkay!!

 

Lecture?   Jim and I are in the same situation with the system starting tomorrow afternoon and night.   And Jim said I had a "good point".    You don't need to comment at all.     

[chinook]

Cold rain in McMinnville.

[jcmcgaffey]

Just dumping here. Working our way to 3” already with plenty more to come. I was only expecting a few inches at most based on recent forecasts. I5 is covering back over up here.

[TT-SEA]

OLM is 31 with south winds gusting to 38mph.

 

That's just weird.

 

 

Crazy.    

[BigDaddyMike]

What are you guys thinking of the chance of mixed precip in the south sound area tomorrow?  Fedway/Tacoma?  I have a hard time believing this is going to happen.  Are the models trending towards this or away towards all snow.  I am having a hard time following...

[Requiem]

Cold rain in McMinnville.

 

[TT-SEA]

1.6 inches of snow in last 30 mins wtf.

 

 

Potent little system... and it formed out of nothing in the last 12 hours.     

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

I can't find my weather spotter phone number to call. I want to call the NWS and tell them about the thunder snow. Anyone have the number??

[The Swamp]

hoping for a storm 4 miracle that pushes it to the south a bit so we can stay all snow in the swamp

 

i hate freezing rain 

 

it's bad and knocks out the power

 

booooo

 

hissssss

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Potent little system... and it formed out of nothing in the last 12 hours.

 

Thunder snow is extremely rare anywhere on earth. Crazy.

[Prairiedog]

Light to moderate and back to light wet snow at 34f with gusts from the south at 12mph.   But for the moment, It's cool.  Not often I see snow blowing from left to right.  Pretty uncommon.  Only have seen it a few times here on my property..

[GHweatherChris]

Lecture? Jim and I are in the same situation with the system starting tomorrow afternoon and night. And Jim said I had a "good point". You don't need to comment at all.

Lol, pretty sure you misinterpreted what he meant, now be a good stinky boy and not reply.
