Requiem Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Hes going with the HRRR sorta, expecting some accumulating snow east of I205 above 500 feet.

ShawniganLake Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I figured. Non weather geeks always overestimate snowfall. She may have measured in a drift.I have a friend who lives a couple miles away from me and he always tells people about how much snow he has. Like 3 feet on the ground and stuff like that. I always just bite my tongue but it drives me nuts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 There's still hope for me in Gresham...he says 2-6" possible out here. I'm at 300' and about a mile or so from the Camas border, so could be in a worse spot. If Dewey liked snow I'd say he might be in luck too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Runner Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Were you there in December 2008?

Guest CulverJosh Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 It isn't over. Mark doesn't have the magic 8 ball when it comes to these setups. It his opinion based on what most of the models are spitting out right now. Models that absolutely do not handle these situations well at all. Everything is still up for grabs, just depends where the heavy band sets up and stalls. Seeing as it is snowing at Staleys Junction at less than 300' elevation is intriguing. Let's see if this plays out like Feb 5th, 2017 or has more dynamics with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.SNOWMIZER Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Wow. That’s crazy.I've driven around and measured all over the place and there is 20 to 23 inches. Even 21 inches on ground in port orchard and that is the deepest there since 1969. 2 We come from the land of the ice and snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, it just seems that every single time that Mark forecasts something not happening (or happening), he seems to be correct. Interestingly, except for 2/5/17..... It just seems like the band is moving far faster than originally planned. Perhaps my eyes are just playing tricks on me.
