Radar immediately started filling in and now looks quite healthy for much of Portland metro. :lol:

 

 

Score one for the much maligned ECMWF!

 

It said the dewpoint would be 16 at 4 a.m. in Portland and the main event was not the band last night and the best period of snow would start after 4 a.m.   Check and check.    :)

Yes, score one because there haven't been any other scores.

They cancelled garbage pickup until next week here.

 

 

Have not had garbage pick up here since the morning of February 8th.   I have some hope for this Friday.

The band of precip over Portland raised the dewpoint from 16 to 22 at PDX... but looking at traffic cams it appears the snow did not accumulate from just south of the river northward.     South of there is looks white... particularly the southeast metro.

I had just a few flurries and even that has stopped.  Not even a dusting here.  I'm about 6 miles sw by way the crow flies from Estacada.  8 miles se of Happy Valley.  Was warmed from my overnight low of 29 to 31 with winds having died down quite a bit from last night.  Looks like a band might be moving north towards Sandy so that should catch me.  Just don't know if there is enough to amount to much.

That's not going to happen!  I can see low 40's at best for tomorrow and that might be a stretch.  That would mean absolutely no gorge outflow. 

 

 

ECMWF and WRF showed light southerly flow tomorrow in Portland.

Coming down fairly nicely on the west side of town with this band. Radar looks quite decent. Hopefully it keeps at it for a few hours.

I have been in a weird spot tonight in the center of the metro area. Band was too far east earlier, now this band is too far west. I just need it to shift 5 more miles!

My wife said about 1.5" in Mt. Angel, that amount or maybe a little more in Silverton this morning. Salem looks like a solid 1-3". Snow has redeveloped this morning.

No real surprises here...Although they seem to suggest I saw slightly more snow than I actually did. At least I'm not in the complete snow hole which is slightly to my south and west in Skagit County.

      The anal logs look pretty good for this summer, I wouldn't worry about it. And if it gets warm, just cool down. You'll be fine.

      Middle East Conflict of 2023-2024

      Well, I forgot to update this little development. A big nothingburger thankfully in terms of conflict even if it was very out of the ordinary. But it was a wakeup call to Israel. I am reading that Iran spent some $60 million in it's launch of it's assortment of cannon fodder. I use that term because Iran was sending a message and not its good stuff, as any research would show. The response cost? About $3 billion! The fact that the U.S., Israel, and Jordan all participated in intercepting the low cost drones and missiles and still a few managed to strike Israeli land is one hand a testament to the effectiveness of high tech interception, BUT it is also a sobering reality for the U.S. and Israel that if Iran wanted to play hardball, it would be mass destruction in Israel. That is very unlikely. What is very likely; however, is the fact that it is a confirmation to Iran that there is a massive cost/benefit in its favor regarding its effectiveness of its long game: proxy war and skirmishes. It's draining Israeli money and costing U.S. taxpayer money. Israel needs to get this through their heads: They are on borrowed time in terms of what the global community will tolerate - act accordingly. This article spells it out nicely: https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2024/04/israel-economy-deterioration-worsens-as-gaza-conflict-and-other-hostilities-grind-on.html And before smooth-brained Andrew excoriates me in another unread-by-me reply, no, I do not support Iran's government. They are religious whack jobs oppressing their own people... just like the religious right whack jobs keeping Netanyahu in power. Two sides of the same coin: Delusional religious whack jobs who should drop dead already. I am pretty sure the liberal/moderate Jews and Muslims would rejoice.
