Supposably...

Holyshit, we posted at the same time

 

LMAO

[Guest Sounder]

Just for the sake of giving Portlanders a shred of hope that will most certainly be crushed later...

Axially, I was two minutes before you.

[Jbolin]

Axially I was two minutes before you.

****, whatever :_P

[wxmet]

Nothing lasts forever.

[Tyler Mode]

Wow, haven't seen this progression of weather ever before.  Snow, then warming and a south wind to almost 30 mph with rain.  Followed by heavy, accumulating snow and dropping temperatures.

[XLVIII43to8]

 

 

Changes to the forecast this evening...will scale back on the snow

accumulation numbers over central Puget Sound a touch ( but keep

the winter storm watch up ). Will not give up on the snow

completely for the Central Sound. If you are a snow lover you

can`t be happy with the trend and if you have had enough of the

snow, well now the model trends are now your friend.

 

Warming trend on Tuesday with the precipitation from about

Snohomish county southward mostly rain.

 

The upper level trough appears to stall across the Pacific Tuesday

night into Wednesday keeping low snow levels ( but above the

surface ) in the forecast although the precipitation looks light

and spotty. Felton

Sigh... I’m running at 34° right now at 350’ above sea level in West Seattle right now, snow is melting off trees already and I’m getting sad... I’m hoping to pick up at least another few inches tomorrow but my gut feeling is it will be all rain

[Deweydog]

Nothing lasts forever.

Even cold November rain.

Even cold November rain. 30 days tops.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Euro day 10. Just because...

At 4” for the day now. Might end up with more than the Friday system by the end of this.

Looks like December 2008 outside now that we have a foot or more in spots.

I think our window is closing. Blocking becoming less amplified with each run.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

The Tuesday morning PDX Metro commute is going to be very wet.

 

[GHweatherChris]

Snow is likely for everyone tomorrow for a period(s) regardless what the NWS says, they are trusting the models too much.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Wow Felton at Nws saying this is probably the toughest forecast he's ever had to do in 30 years.

[Requiem]

Finally stopped, though looks like it may be a break (as there are a lot of yellows popping up towards Scapoose and Vernonia).

[GHweatherChris]

Wow Felton at Nws saying this is probably the toughest forecast he's ever had to do.

That's why the forecast reflects the models situation currently.

[TT-SEA]

The ECMWF shows 3 inches of snow in Seattle just tomorrow afternoon.    Its going to snow.  

[Jesse]

Appears to be changing back over to snow here.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Wouldn't it be something if the fv3 solution was correct? Possible.

[MossMan]

Wow Felton at Nws saying this is probably the toughest forecast he's ever had to do in 30 years.

I think even a 30-50 mile jog to the south with the low would bury many of us...and the models have not been spot on at all so it’s very possible to possibly probable.

[Cloud]

Wow Felton at Nws saying this is probably the toughest forecast he's ever had to do in 30 years.

Definitely not an easy forecast, a shift in the low just 50-60 miles south will make a huge difference. 

[Skagit Weather]

I swear every single forecast always has a snow hole up here and even the amount that gets predicted ends up being too much. I've had a week straight now of watching the radar collapse as it approaches only to reform a few miles away. Don't get me wrong I'm loving the snow I have currently, but I would love to see one storm that gives me more than 2". Okay, rant over. 

 

At least now the snow I have isn't melting. Low has passed and north winds have returned so temp is quickly dropping. Was around 33F, but back down to 29F.

Can you post the event total?

Wild. The little storm that could.

[seattleweatherguy]

3.5 in bothell just measured

[ShawniganLake]

I sure hope ol’ brooding Bryant got some snow...

He must have got something. I got a foot to the west of him. Just across the border in BC I’m hearing 8-14”+ reports. It’s all around him

[seattleweatherguy]

Can you post the event total?

Will it rain at all before it snows though

[Chewbacca Defense]

OMG

 

OMFG

 

THUNDERSNOW IN THE WEST HILLS. HEAVY SNOW. WTF

You need to trend south by about 15 miles or so!

Slushy trace here, been all snow for a hot minute.

25 or 6 to 4.

[GHweatherChris]

If the precip field gets this way quickly tomorrow morning then there could be alot of snow in many areas before the low can make any impact. #2008ish

 

The low could still south.

[MossMan]

South south south south south!!!!!!!!!!

[Frontal Snowsquall]

00z RGEM/RDPS rainfall through Tuesday 4pm with still more rain to come after this.
