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

[crf450ish]

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

That wasn't the main motivator, but was definitely a factor in choosing where we bought a house. Primarily, we wanted out of western wa. At that particular point in time it didn't matter where we lived. We landed where we are because it was a good investment.

 

As far as wanting 4 real seasons, I'm not afraid to admit that we have learned there is most definitely a difference between visiting a place with winters like where we live (or where Kayla live in Bozeman) vs. living there. I'm seriously sick of dealing with snow removal/mitigation. Moreover, life is an adventure. It's rather boring to stay seated in one place for life. We're not waiting till retirement to travel. That's backwards. We want to experience things while we're Young and agile.

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.

Why wait 5-10 years?

[Weiner Warrior]

Just heard everything moved South... Going to dump tomorrow! No work for days

The 00z UKMET still showing heavy rain for PDX Metro. It has 4"+ accumulated precipitation for some areas through Tuesday 10pm.

GFS and NAM also show 2+ inches.

[Blizzard777]

Stars are out and wind flatlined

32.2

[bainbridgekid]

Picked up 2.5" here so far and sitting right on the Northern edge of the CZ currently.

 

Hoping that heavy shower over the Straight near Port Angeles can reenergize the Northern part of the CZ for a bit.

UW-WRF says no snow from Seattle south.

[GHweatherChris]

Tomorrow will be a nowcast situation, and alot of golu activity!!

[MossMan]

Light snow and 29.8. 4” of new snow.

[Jbolin]

UW-WRF says no snow from Seattle south.

Yup, I'd say the cutoff line is Shoreline to Lynwood South

 

Noticeable melting occurring here, lots of "drippage" especially on the trees 

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Why wait 5-10 years?

I'm just not ready right now. Plus I got a good situation with my job role where I work at the moment. If I move it's likely permanent so I need to make sure it's the best decision for me in the long run.

[Monty808]

UW-WRF says no snow from Seattle south.

For tomorrow into Tuesday I assume?

[Deweydog]

22 minutes until the Euro!!!

[Cloud]

Wait for the EURO

I’m still skeptical with the WRF but it’s a bad trend regardless.

[runninthruda206]

i dont have a good feeling about the euro its okay tho

[wxmet]

CZ shifting south. Winds here have switched to a northerly direction.

[Cloud]

For tomorrow into Tuesday I assume?

Yes. Monday into Tuesday 4PM. Warm sector all the way up into DT... cutoff line will be north of Seattle

All good things must come to an end

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Light snow and 29.8. 4” of new snow.

what is your total depth

[snowbustcity]

It must have been raining or sleeting at some point. Definitely noticeable melting on some areas at my house. Particularly, the huge chunk of fresh ice that slid off my car randomly. 

[Geos]

CZ shifting south. Winds here have switched to a northerly direction.

 

Good, push that colder air in. 

CZ is here now. Still just under freezing.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

GFS and NAM also show 2+ inches.

I'm interested in seeing if the 00z EURO will come in as heavy as it did earlier today.

[MossMan]

Deep. Cold.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

36 with light rain.

[Winterdog]

Added 3” today. 17” for the month and maybe more on the way. 30F with light snow.

[MossMan]

Getting some snow now slighty bigger flakes

[Requiem]

Still snowing here with a strong south wind. Holding at 32 degrees.

[TT-SEA]

Through 4 a.m.

 

[TT-SEA]

Through 10 a.m.

 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Nearly everyone in the Seattle metro at or below freezing. A couple pockets of metro warmth at 33-34 but that’s about it. AFD will be telling, I still don’t think a single model has handled this wel at meso and when it comes to forecasting these kinds of situations, human hands are going to be a bit more accurate than a European robot.

The old school boys at the Nws will be the best source of a forcast on this. Experience will go a long way on this one.

[TT-SEA]

10 a.m. -  4 p.m.

 

[wxmet]

10 a.m. -  4 p.m.

 

 

 

 

That looks great for tomorrow. All the sound is below freezing.

Unless human hands want to conservatively down play the event!

 

Also I don't think we were really supposed to get a warm up tonight, not until tomorrow morning for most places at least according to most 12z runs...

10 a.m. -  4 p.m.

 

What do the light and dark blue lines mean?
