February 2019 Weather Observations and Discussion Part 2

[Omegaraptor]

I just want spring to come so I can enjoy comfortable temperatures, best time of the year for scenery in the PNW, and still plenty of sun. Oh yeah, and fast passing rainstorms.

[Jesse]

Looks like the sub-50 streak stayed alive at PDX. Should be good through sometime next week now.

You kind of remind me of a PNW version of Mr. Marine Layer.

[TacomaWaWx]

I hope spring comes soonish too, but I want another round of snow and cold one more time so this will go down as one of the best winters of all time officially, atleast for Washington anyways hopefully Portland can get in on this winter at some point.

Pretty sunset!

 

And it happened a lot later than it did a couple months ago. Hmmmm...

I am telling you man it is all about sun angles.

[GHweatherChris]

I am telling you man it is all about sun angles.

Sun angle forecast busted big time today....

[Jesse]

I am telling you man it is all about sun angles.

Seasons? Absolutely. With daylight length also playing a role, but they’re sort of two sides of the same coin.

00z ICON is about to cave to the north models

Great. At least the low is somewhat stronger.

[Perturbed Member]

Yikes

[Requiem]

 

****. Yay! 

 

I really just do not understand why everything has to trend north like this. This is our one big chance this winter.

[Timmy]

At least it’s the icon. Cue the sounders praising the credibility of the icon.

 

 

Ps it has screwed me over all winter

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

With the icon trend Seattle will even get fuckked.

[TT-SEA]

At least it’s the icon

 

Finally catching up... has to catch up at some point.   How anyone could deny the clear northward trend that was already happening this morning is beyond me.    We just went through this and the set up is very similar.  

 

12Z run...

 

 

00Z run...

 

[TacomaWaWx]

Don’t panic, it’s one run everything is subject to change it’s still days out and a long ride ahead!

[HighlandExperience]

12Z run...

 

 

00 run...

 

 

Yes, we get it. Portland will gets screwed again, Seattle will score. So you have said. And so I believe.

[TT-SEA]

ICON probably has the right solution for Monday morning.    Even if by accident.   

 

[ewnichols25]

Flagstaff just beat their one-day snow record with 31.6". Multiple highways and the airport are shut down.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Yikes

There is MossMan's mouth of Columbia landfall.

[TacomaWaWx]

Probability for snow increasing in Puget Sound area though, don’t lose hope just yet portlanders

[Deweydog]

That’s chilly rain right there!

Too late.

[GHweatherChris]

Gonna be coming in to VI, noone gets snow, book it...

[Requiem]

That's my second preferred outcome right there. Or this thing turns into a huge rainstorm for everyone.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Do you think it will track that far north? I'd say cannon beach at most but my gut tells me about ocean shores.

[TT-SEA]

Doubt it... but possible.   

 

If it keeps shifting north even just on the runs tomorrow and then stops... that might still be the end result.

Never seen you pay any attention to the ICON until tonight.

[TacomaWaWx]

Haha as sad as it would be for everyone it’s entirely possible the low goes far enough north to kill snow for everyone south of Everett, kind of seems unlikely it will go that far north though I think Portland or just north will be the battleground line, but only Mother Nature really knows haha

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Onto the 00z GFS, FV3 and GEM.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Been a long time since we had a low track from this angle and hit the sweet spot for the sound. Long time.

[TT-SEA]

Trends Jesse. We are 3 days out.

 

Looking for trends. You will now watch all of the 00Z runs trend WAY north. Enjoy.

[Timmy]

Tim is ready to single-handedly will this low north.

[Requiem]

The way this month is turning out I wouldn't be surprised if that panned out. Also I love how Tim is almost beside himself with how this thing just keeps trending north as he is predicting.

[HighlandExperience]

That is why it needs to happen. When is the last time we have had a track like this?

 

Monday commute might get real messy around here. Looking forward to see what King GFS says. 

 

I actually prefer it to come in a little further south.

I'm literally begging for this thing to trend south. Just give us one last shot at a nice February down here.

 

EDIT: The GFS is running, oh joy. Congrats to the Sounders, I guess.

No use in begging him or anyone else really, only Tim has control over the lows track.

[Requiem]

He just pulls those D**n lows towards North Bend!

[Cloud]

The north trend progression is going to result in all rain for everyone south of Everett.
