I hope we can make up for that this time around.2017 had a nice stretch in early Jan here though.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 How does this look for your place? The snow maps are extremely generous for snow up here. If there was a landfall north of Florence there would probably be about a 3-6 hour warm nose period during the event. It has the potential to easily be a 8-14" event. Tomorrow morning also has the potential for 6"+, but the snow level may be a few hundred feet above me, will be close tomorrow. I thought the snow level would be above me last night with a similar airmass, but it ended up being cold enough for all snow.

MossMan Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Interesting that when the temp is hovering around the 33-34 degree range that snow melts/falls extremely rapidly from the trees but the majority of the new snow that fell is still on the ground, deck, etc. is frozen in place.

TT-SEA Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Craziness for much of the country looks to continue for a long time. Minneapolis is at 31.7 inches of snow for February which is 5 inches above the record already and they have a blizzard warning for tonight and tomorrow. Winds could gust to 50 mph tomorrow after another 5-7 inches of snow falls. And then the high on Monday will be 5 above. That is pretty crazy for this late in the season. Looks like it will stay in the teens all week with more snow chances as well.
