TT-SEA Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Here's how I've calculated it based on my daily cleared deck measurements: 10" on the 3rd/4th7" on 8th/9th6" on 10th19" to 24" on 11th/12th (My measurement system broke down mid-day when I had to clear the deck)1.5" on 19th/20th2" on 22nd (just measured) Grand total for February (so far): 45.5" to 50.5" Thanks... that seems about right. I measured an inch on my walkway this afternoon which was the only bare spot in my yard... but there might have been some melting initially on that surface.

Gummy Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Going off the 925mb temps this snowfall projection looks like a load of garbage. Is it thinking the snow won't reach the ground through the dry air? More to do with a lack of moisture, going by that map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VancouverIslandSouth Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 I don’t understand, icon, nam and RGEM all believe Sunday mornings event will be primarily to all rain down here. Aren’t temperatures cool enough for snow with this unstable airmass? I still don't expect any rain, it should be plenty cold with outflow starting up and dry air in place, but catching that brief deformation band in the right spot might be tricky. If it lines up with the southern Saanich Peninsula then we'll see snow Sunday morning, if it doesn't it'll be another boring dry blast.

GHweatherChris Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hell... even some of the weather geeks up on this forum have said they are fine with the next storm hitting Portland because of all the issues we have had with snow this month. If people on a weather forum are OK with missing out on snow for the sake of regular life returning... you know most "normal" people around here are also fine with no more snow.

VancouverIslandSouth Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 I'd love if this thing trends north and blasts Victoria; it's been an extremely long time since one of these SW-NE tracking systems has lined up nicely for anything here. Such systems have nailed areas only 20-50 miles north of here and 50-100 miles south of here over the past couple years. I'm curious to see what such a track could do here with cold air in place. Still I feel I got my snow fix earlier this month and I don't feel as invested in the outcome of this. Probably should be Oregon's turn this time around. That said, if it's not going to hit this area I'd rather it go way north or way south, I'm getting kind of sick of missing out on the fringe.

Phil Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Oh, I didn't know that was where that term came from lol. Yeah, that must of been one heck of a model riding period. It brought not only wind but snow to that region.We were pretty lucky. The forecast was for 90mph winds but there was a weak stable layer that held just long enough to keep winds around 70mph. Still nasty but not as bad as it could have been. Didn’t have any tree damage on my property. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 You really do have issues, not looking for an argument here, but d**n dude, I do not live there, nice job reading way too much in to what I said, take a xanax or something... settle the **** down!! I am not reading anything into what you said. I said after 50 inches of snow this month... I am cheering for this one to go south. And you launched into some attack on me based on income and my yuppie neighbors and cliques. Which was of course unnecessary and completely off topic... but seems to be the main undercurrent and root source of your issues with me since it always comes up. I sense this from a few others as well. So... I am going to tell you a little bit more about me in an effort to build a bridge. We left Minnesota with $1,000. We do not come from wealthy families. My father-in-law was a plumber and my dad was a public school teacher. My wife paid for her entire education... and then her masters degree. When we got married we had well over $100,000 in student debt and $1,000 in the bank. And moved into a small apartment in a really bad area of downtown San Diego so my wife could be a nurse at Balboa Naval Hospital. We saved enough money to buy a tract home in a nicer suburb of San Diego and got really lucky with the San Diego real estate market. We used that equity to buy 12 acres of land in northern San Diego County and built a home there. We got lucky again and it went up in value and we used that equity to buy the lot in North Bend where we live now. We bought the smallest and cheapest lot in our development and still barely made it work. But they say its best to be the cheapest house in a nice neighborhood as opposed to the opposite. We contracted to have our home built but we spent over a year doing everything we could to keep costs down. And we still have the most basic home possible. But we did it. The lansdscaping and gardens have been a 15-year labor of love for my wife. We have no gardeners or any other help. We have done it all ourselves. I drive a old Honda Accord that is probably worth $10K. We bought a boat for $15K. My sons both drive cars under $10K and pay for them themselves with their own money they earn working. We are actually looked down upon by some of our neighbors for our "crappy" cars parked in the driveway. And we still do not have much savings other than our 401Ks through our employers... and money is a constant stress. Our vacations involve stopping at Costco first and buying all of our food there. Or they are work-related for my wife and paid for by someone else. It does not feel real good to be labeled as some wealthy yuppie who had everything handed to him and does not relate to the common folk. Its not accurate. I am very common... and feel way more comfortable in a local bar and grill than in some overpriced restaurant in Bellevue or Seattle. I guess knowing more about a person is probably better than making false assumptions.

High Desert Mat? Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 I am not reading anything into what you said. I said after 50 inches of snow this month... I am cheering for this one to go south. And you launched into some attack on me based on income and my yuppie neighbors and cliques. Which was of course unnecessary and completely off topic... but seems to be the main undercurrent and root source of your issues with me since it always comes up. I sense this from a few others as well. So... I am going to tell you a little bit more about me in an effort to build a bridge. We left Minnesota with $1,000. We do not come from wealthy families. My father-in-law was a plumber and my dad was a public school teacher. My wife paid for her entire education... and then her masters degree. When we got married we had well over $100,000 in student debt and $1,000 in the bank. And moved into a small apartment in a really bad area of downtown San Diego so my wife could be a nurse at Balboa Naval Hospital. We saved enough money to buy a tract home in a nicer suburb of San Diego and got really lucky with the San Diego real estate market. We used that equity to buy 12 acres of land in northern San Diego County and built a home there. We got lucky again and it went up in value and we used that equity to buy the lot in North Bend where we live now. We bought the smallest and cheapest lot in our development and still barely made it work. But they say its best to be the cheapest house in a nice neighborhood as opposed to the opposite. We contracted to have our home built but we spent over a year doing everything we could to keep costs down. And we still have the most basic home possible. But we did it. The lansdscaping and gardens have been a 15-year labor of love for my wife. We have no gardeners or any other help. We have done it all ourselves. I drive a old Honda Accord that is probably worth $10K. We bought a boat for $15K. My sons both drive cars under $10K and pay for them themselves with their own money they earn working. We are actually looked down upon by some of our neighbors for our "crappy" cars parked in the driveway. And we still do not have much savings other than our 401Ks through our employers... and money is a constant stress. Our vacations involve stopping at Costco first and buying all of our food there. Or they are work-related for my wife and paid for by someone else. It does not feel real good to be labeled as some wealthy, yuppie who had everything handed to him and does not relate to the common folk. Its not accurate. I am very common... and feel way more comfortable in a local bar and grill than in some overpriced restaurant in Bellevue or Seattle. I guess knowing more about a person is probably better than making false assumptions.Well said and bravo for being honest. But for fukks sake, own the climate please!!!!!! Don’t whine all spring when it rains and when it’s a little below normal in temp. Thanks. HDM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I reserve the right to complain about the weather like everyone else does on here! But I don't complain much any more unless it gets really unreasonable. And that will inevitably happen from time to time. And side note... I also complained about the wildfires the last two summers. Too extreme the other way.

I guess knowing more about a person is probably better than making false assumptions.Sounds familiar. My wife and I have worked our asses off to get to where we are now. For several years we both had full time jobs and a few part time gigs on top of that. We played the real estate market just right last spring and made our move. We got an insane amount for our 1969 split level which was the only way we could afford buying the place we have now. The place nearly doubled in value in two years. I drive a 7yr old Chevy truck and my wife drives a 5yr old Subaru. Our family lake house has been in the family since 1958. My boat is 32yrs old and my jetski is 17yrs old. Most of my working career was spent doing manual labor outside full time until recently. But people on the forum think I am a selfish yuppie...which makes me just simply laugh. 3 Quote Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border.
