Frontal Snowsquall Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Alright, I love snow. Hope we get more. But can we also talk about the pretty rare and rather crazy easterly winds predicted for next week? With a decent cold pool too, that’s amazing. Is it really almost March?It's rare for this time of year. Usually east wind season ends around middle of February so this is really extreme. All that snow cover and cold air entrenched in the cold pool is making it last longer than usual. It doesn't hurt to have surge after surge of frigid Arctic air drop down into Montana.

Overweighing the radar data(seems like no return area about to move over PDX). but 700mb levels and RH tell a different story, favorable environment for another 3 hours so it might back build.
