February 2019 Weather Observations and Discussion Part 2

Also... pretty sure the EPS said we would warm up by now, because you know the EPS is never wrong.

This is a very dry airmass. 29 here dewpoint 12. High of 37 today.

[Andrew.]

You should take a video of it and send it to your brother in law.

 

 

Sent it off to the UN actually

It’s a chapstick airmass.

There should be some crazy water to snow ratios around Portland.  Obviously a big plus for better accumulations.

 

 

Yeah I usually do pretty well in these east wind events since I'm on the west end, far enough to get the benefits but without it getting out of hand. So far though the east winds have been strong here too, gusting close to 40 earlier and I have a dp of 12F and down to 31F. Should be the first real cold snowfall I'll have here, all other brushes with snow have been  a bit above freezing and wet stuff. Pretty much no accumulations on roads.  If I can get a half decent precip rate sometime tonight I should be able to maybe get something.

Already seeing some flurries in Newberg.

[TacomaWaWx]

High temp got up to 39 here where I live but temps dropped earlier this afternoon when we had some real strong east winds here down to 33 now, hoping to see some snow flurries here in Puget Sound even if they don’t stick

[FroYoBro]

Already seeing some flurries in Newberg.

Good sign. That is already pretty far north.

When I got home and felt that ice cold wind blowing I had renewed awe for this month. It has been amazing in so many ways. I could get used to this!

It is an awesome month and a rare one for sure. Basically nearly the entire month is below average. SEA is guaranteed to tie the month record with 17 below subfreezing nighttime lows at this point that was set in 1989.

[Andrew.]

Precip way north and more than modeled so far

[Deweydog]

You have a soft spot in your heart for the coast.

We have all said "the models underestimate precip"...

[Lars43]

NWS just upped the snow totals to 2-4 inches here in Eugene. Already snowing pretty hard. Wondering if get more than that, seems very possible.

The snow started about four hours earlier than expected. Coming down hard for the last two hours, I am guessing (hoping) we get more than the 2-4". Dropped to 32 about an hour ago.

[Cloud]

Through 25 days, the average temp for SEA is 36.5.

Just insane.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

I think it might hit absolute zero somewhere tonight.

[Bodhijr]

It's been so long since we have had good snow I just had to share. Pee Dragon!

[Blizzard777]

Just an amazing day up here! NE wind very evident with the awesome low dew points! Just sat in a chair outside enjoying the crisp cold air, stars shining and the wind blowing the firs trees ( Treager also lit up ). ! I love this stuff even without the snow but the snow would certainly compliment it. Keeping my eye on Pdx of course!

33*

6* dew point

Gusting winds to 23

[GHweatherChris]

33 degrees, 15 DP currently.

I think it's gonna snow!

to think I posted under a pee dragon ...lol

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

I think it's gonna snow!

I think it will as well. The rgem looks even better on the 00z.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Dumping. ❄

 

OUTSTANDING!

 

 

Already seeing some flurries in Newberg.

 

 

SCORE!

[TacomaWaWx]

We’ve had very cold East winds of about 25-30mph I’d say temp down to 32 here, hopeful I’ll see some snow flakes, even if nothing accumulates it’s still fun to see

[Cloud]

33 degrees, 15 DP currently.

Don’t have to worry about scraping frost off of windshields for sure. Unless of course it snow!

[HighlandExperience]

No doubt. Looks like more models are jumping on board for some snow here. One more shot would round out the month very nicely.

A parting 1-3 inches would be perfect. Hope models trend wetter tonight for us.

[snow_wizard]

35/20 here today. 

 

Pretty strong offshore wind here which is very unusual. First cross cascade event since January 2017. Currently already down to 27 under cloudy skies and an occasional flake. Horse Creek to my east at 3400' is down to 14. Got some Central Oregon cold spilling over the peaks tonight.

 

This goes to show how sustaining a cold 500mb pattern is so beneficial.  The terrain can be overcome!

[GHweatherChris]

I think it will as well. The rgem looks even better on the 00z.

For here too?

[Bodhijr]

to think I posted under a pee dragon ...lol

LOL, I assume that's a first.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Precip way north and more than modeled so far

It's coming! ❄

Interesting.  Might even get some flurries up here from it.

[HighlandExperience]

For here too?

RGEM Shows snow for your coastal area going up into Puget Sound

[TacomaWaWx]

Would be cool if this ended up trending good for Puget Sound i want to see some snow even if it’s just a trace one more time before winters over

Hopefully it ends up being colder and more precip than they are expecting

[Deweydog]

Sounds like there are some Sounders that would like some more snow!

We have been shafted recently!

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

For here too?

Yep

[snow_wizard]

Through 25 days, the average temp for SEA is 36.5.

Just insane.

 

There daily average today was 36.5 as well.  Anything below 37 for Feb is outstanding.

Grays Harbor Sound has done just fine.

[TacomaWaWx]

Hopefully we can get atleast a tiny bit of snow, hopefully Portland gets some more too
