February 2019 Weather Observations and Discussion Part 2

[TT-SEA]

Radar just turned off easy mode.

Better that way... you more easily see real precip.

As someone else said, your timing is impeccable, but I know for a fact and many others agree that it is on purpose contrary to what you say, hope you had a great Tuesday!!

Tim definitely likes to purposefully antagonize people on here with his "innocent" observations, but at least he has some substance and at least 2 brain cells worth of thought behind his negative posts, unlike you.

Lol, I am me, I will not pander... anyways, back to weather, 30/15 spread here!!

Yep, the real precip is in line from Lincoln city through Salem.

I also get excited for people too... and have no problem posting good news that I see in the models. Not sure why I would do that if my only goal was to ruin the fun. I have also been overly-optimistic at times and have been burned.

[Eugene Snow]

4” fresh snow and dumping. This is getting crazy!

[FroYoBro]

Now 30 degrees with a dp of 20. Getting closer!

Eugene is always in the sweet spot it seems.

[Blizzard777]

The funny thing is, you can ENSO and PDO and NAO and MJO and PNA and Low Solar all you want to, but NOBODY saw this epic month coming.

 

Edit: Or if they did, I missed it.

I know nothing though !

That might be TWL saying “Score”

Just a question now of who gets more snow, you or Tiger.

[Eugene Snow]

I have lived in Eugene my entire life ( I’m almost 50), I have never seen anything like this.

This is a rare pattern indeed.

Definitely true. You're one of the few posters who shows an interest in tracking any events that aren't directly in their own backyard, which I appreciate.

[Front Ranger]

It's rare we get a sunset like this because clouds approach normally from the west obviously.  The storm moving in from the south put on an epic show being right on the edge of the cloud band.

 

If there is one thing the cold/heat/dry/wet/cloudy/sunny lovers can all agree on, it's that a beautiful sunset rocks.

The radar looks quite impressive to the south, hopefully that stuff all makes it to PDX intact. It is already at about Salem. Might have the precip rates we need to get accumulations with that stuff.

Wow, this is probably a once in a lifetime event for you then. Enjoy every second of it!

[El_Nina]

Humidity up to 49% at PDX!!

Wind seems to be slacking off just a bit here. Flurries picking up. Down to 29.8

The wind and snow ebbs and flows

With the number of underperforming events this month in Portland, they sure are due for one to overperform. This feels like one that might actually do it.

 

Funny that the least marginal event from a temperature perspective in Portland this year is coming in nearly March.

[Cloud]

Pretty amazing stuff in central Oregon with the parade of storms. If you didn’t know any better you’d think the storm that hit Monday is still raging.

Agreed. It’s nice to have these flurries “moistening” things up right now, priming the atmosphere for the real stuff in a few hours. Humidity is 55% and rising at PDX.

Totally agree, mentioned earlier today this one could surprise PDX, hopefully this will happen. We’ll see.

Yep, today was the first time this season that I saw snowflakes here with the temp below freezing. 

 

The howling east winds and near single digit dewpoints really make it feel like December or January. Not sure I remember ever experiencing outflow like this at the end of Feb or early March here.  

[Blizzard777]

Call me crazy but I think I’m getting very tiny flakes....I don’t know what else it might be unless debris from fir trees. Doesn’t look like that though...hmmm

32*

Dew point 2*

[GHweatherChris]

Virga almost to Olympia.

[TT-SEA]

Through 4 a.m.

 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

I've gotta think this is the most snow in such a short amount of time that EUG has seen since Jan 1969.

Streetlight watching???

[TT-SEA]

4-10 a.m.

 

[Cloud]

4-10 a.m.

 

Look like it could be 1.5-2” for PDX.

[TT-SEA]

10 a.m. through 4 p.m... also shows the dewpoint up to 23 at PDX by late tomorrow afternoon.

 

[TT-SEA]

I think this run will be more snowy up here tomorrow night. 

[Blizzard777]

Streetlight watching???

I have a backyard security light...those really bright white lights ones! Just checked again....it is flurries...very light though

[TT-SEA]

Shifted westward tomorrow evening compared to 12Z run.

 

[VancouverIslandSouth]

I have lived in Eugene my entire life ( I’m almost 50), I have never seen anything like this.

 

You'll probably end up with more than here in spite of there having been far more snow chances up here to this point. This part of Victoria ended up with about 18.5" from Feb 8 - 14th, with most falling on the 10/11th.

 

Just takes one event to make for a historic month, doesn't get much better than that.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

What's crazy is that Winter, both SEA and EUG had more snow than PDX. As of right now, that's how things currently stand.

[TT-SEA]

Highs tomorrow...

 

[Perturbed Member]

Yep, real snow under that band. Turning Salem white

[TT-SEA]

Early Thursday morning...

Thursday morning 4-10 a.m.
