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

[MossMan]

We have family down there. Plus she's not particularly fond of the cold.

Weren’t you the one that moved east to have colder/snowier/non boring winters?

[Frontal Snowsquall]

I'm actually looking forward to a pattern shift and subsequent warm up. I've kinda had enough. I'm ready to move to Phoenix

I'm ready for the summer as well but will try and squeeze as much wintry and stormy weather in the next month or so.

 

There's actually a decent chance I move down to the Phoenix area in the next 5-10 years.

[MikeInEverett]

It’s all sleet!! It’s over.

[Snowfreak]

Wow!  Picked up 3" since 7pm.  Just amazing how hard and fast it came down!  Flakes still flying but looks like the back edge for our area is about to go thru.  Time to break out the quad for um-teenth time in 3 days! 

[Kayla]

hehe yeah, I ask my son about the weather every weekend when we talk, and its always been "its fine"

 

This week it was "its friggin COLD!!"

 

Hope thing are still going well for him!

[MossMan]

Snow has slowed. Temp up to 28.9

You could always move down here to PDX. We get warmer/sunnier weather than up there in the summer. There's actually a decent chance I move down to the Phoenix area in the next 5-10 years.

Spokane's summers are hotter than ours, at least during the day which is what counts the most. Average highs are in the mid-80s July and August. Their summers are also easily sunnier.

[Blizzard777]

Adverage temp for February so far 31.8*

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

48hr wrf. The gfs canadian and nam all showed 5-10 inches for the seattle area. Going to get gnarly here.

At least 8 inches from that next storm here.

Yeah, I thought for some reason he lived West of the Cascades. Was thinking Lake Stevens instead.

[Geos]

It’s all sleet!! It’s over.

 

Really... all snow here still.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Troughing forever on the 00z GFS.

[seattleweatherguy]

Really... all snow here still.

And I see nothing here at the moment or it's my eyes

[snowbustcity]

Same here in NE Seattle. It hasn't done anything in the past 20-30 minutes. 

[raymoland]

Temperature just above freezing all over metro Seattle.  Need it to drop a few degrees or the thaw will begin in earnest.

[Geos]

Looks like the CZ is trying to get itself reorganized.

 

[Skagit Weather]

Well, I've picked up about 0.5" here so far...this storm is really outdoing itself. Only wet roads I can find in the entire Puget Sound region are up in Mount Vernon. Maybe the band up near the border will make its way down here sometime tonight.

[Skagit Weather]

On the other hand, on radar it kind of looks like I'm in the eye of the storm which is kind of cool.

[Deweydog]

Very gusty here!

[Chewbacca Defense]

Hope thing are still going well for him!

 

Yeah he's loving it.  Switched his major to physics a couple of weeks ago, all of the chemistry required for Environmental Engineering just wasn't working for him, but he loves physics so much he's actually been studying theoretical physics on his own. 

 

He definitely misses the water here, but he loves the people there, and how much more friendly everyone is.

 

I will be curious to see where he decides to settle when he graduates.

[Requiem]

Okay, I said this wind was "weak" and not notable, but the wind is howling and my windows are closed. I'm heavily sheltered from the south wind as well. Things look to be as strong as the January 5th windstorm, maybe a bit weaker. But the low pressure system is not that strong at all, and only the NAM was suggesting decently strong winds.

So close to me just missing it

[Requiem]

Forgive my rather...er....crude post, but I couldn't resist. The snow is just penetrating my area. But Scapoose seems to be getting the shaft...

Yeah, I'm surprised at how strong the gust have been out here. The 12z EURO had even stronger gust for Tuesday morning so we might be able to track a potential wind storm along with the heavy rain.

WRF Shows a Portland Deformer on Wed?

[jcmcgaffey]

Not sure if it's already been said but KSEA has hit 14.1" this February, making it the snowiest February on record and within the top 10 snowiest months.

How is 2008 not on there. I swear we had more snow overall.

The low is so weak, I'm quite impressed. The OLM-PDX gradient has lowered a lot, but the EUG-PDX gradient has shot up.

[jcmcgaffey]

Come on just a few miles away. It is starting to snow again though (north seattle) but just lightly. We need to all come together to will it further south!

[GHweatherChris]

32 and back to just light snow now, kinda liking this bipolar setup!!

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

All global high res models show 5-10 inches around a large part of the sound and the fv3 nukes the area with 10-20.

[seattleweatherguy]

See flurries

A lot of places had more than SEA that month.

[GHweatherChris]

Tiny front has passed and 925 temps are dropping again, almost got on the positive side.

 

[Geos]

Looks like the CZ will setup over Northern King for a bit. 

[MikeInEverett]

Back to real snow.

[Requiem]

Snow is still falling, southerly gradient is slacking slowly but surely. Pretty decent winds, and lovely (but light) snow. Radar looks very good for hilly areas, lots of yellows around Scapoose.

[Jesse]

Raining here now. That was a nice week of wintery weather, and I am grateful for it.

 

Seven straight highs below 40/lows below 30, and 7" of snow. More winter than I ever dreamed we would see this year if you had even asked me just 2-3 weeks ago.

Perhaps things aren't over yet, you never know! But for a winter that started off SO dull, and SO boring, it was a great turnaround.

Very true. This coming week definitely isn't looking anywhere near as cold as last week, though. We do look to stay in a generally cool pattern which is always nice.
