Some uber serious cold air in play with this.  Nice run!

Great run, though those exact details at play would be somewhat sad for the lower elevations of the Portland metro (warm-nosed for the entire event). But the fact that we're seeing these kinds of systems show up in multiple runs couldn't be more exciting.

PDX gets snow Day 11-12

No worries though, we're focusing too much on details right now because it's fun. 

 

But the overall takeaway is this: Timing has gone up, watch for the continued trend and it should benefit PDX as well. It's also super cold so there are a loads of potential.

The cold in the Columbia Basin is ridiculous this run. Can't imagine how frigid the easterlies would be in that situation.

Ahahahaha GFS shows yet another region-wide shot of snow among more frigid easterlies. No way in heck this isn't some insane cold outlier or I'm going to personally request to talk to Dome Buster's NWS contact.

As Snow Wizard said the block will pay off at some point.   Hoping this is it!!

There will be pull back on the 12z. Last night's 06z showed ridiculous cold as well and the 12z was more realistic. 

One of the main reason I stay up for the 06z is because of its eye-candy. lol
