Part I - January 2020 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[FroYoBro]

Could be a fun night of ringing in the sub-40 new year!

 

My body can no longer survive through temperatures of 32 or lower. I sure hope we don't get any more of those this winter. 

[TT-SEA]

Snow stopped.

[bainbridgekid]

18z Ensembles continue to mainly keep Sunday's low South of Seattle.

[Front Ranger]

[Frontal Snowsquall]

KBLI, KPAE, and KPDX 18z GFS ensemble member snowfall.

 

 

 

Snowy ensembles.

[Perturbed Member]

18z GFS ensembles precip from the mid week low.This is just 24 hrs so there is more precip than displayed on this map. 

[BLI snowman]

A little snow up north and pdx is down to 45.

 

 

THIS WINTER RULES!

 

Down to 39 here with the precip. Actually feels cold.

[Bueryan]

It's funny to me how the firehose was pointed to Portland recently in the models while the maps showed a modest 3" for Seattle, however I didn't hear any crying up here in Wa.  

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Yeah, those take a nice track and would be much more favorable for Puget Sound.

 

A few more are shown to be in this vicinity within the next few frames after this. Not one makes it north of Olympia.

 

Nice trend.

[FroYoBro]

It feels like we turned a big corner today.

 

Winter is back baby! 

[Winterdog]

Snowing pretty heavily now. Too bad it will likely be gone before the big white polar bear from the Yukon sits on our face.

Lol. You should have been on here during January 2017 and the two years following it. 

[GHweatherChris]

Seattle NWS: you write it, no you write, nope you write it..... **** it, afternoon writeup cancelled, we ain't touching that , those guys on the weather forum would beat our a**!

[Jesse]

Rain finally made it in this afternoon. A chilly one at that.

 

High of 45 today. 42 currently, which is also the low so far.

[wxmet]

Point and click over my house NWS update for Seattle has chances for snow/ snow likely next week with highs below freezing.

[TT-SEA]

Seattle be like...

 

[GHweatherChris]

Got ourselves a new snow shovel today. The girls some new winter gear, extra food and milk.

 

Tomorrow is generator prep day!!

[Timmy]

Headed to Hawaii in the morning, stocked the business with a couple snow shovels and enough deicer for a historic storm.

[jakerepp]

18z Ensembles continue to mainly keep Sunday's low South of Seattle.

Like, 'good south' or 'way too south' south?

[SeanNyberg]

The NWS up here in Seattle is definitely spinning out right now! LOL

They just posted this, notice they have the day of the week wrong in multiple spots (it's Wednesday, not Thursday.)

Poor guys ... just take a deep breath, focus, and write a vague update like we are all expecting.

Big Island? I can't remember if that was you going there or someone else.

I did that last weekend! You’re late!

[bainbridgekid]

Good South.

 

Most bring the low in around Olympia where the Operational is around Arlington.

[GHweatherChris]

Nope, right on time!!

[Timmy]

yessir.

[North_County]

"Phantom Snow"

I heard a lot of crying last year when Seattle snow totals were reduced by a meager three inches. You must have some oddly selective hearing.

[jakerepp]

yessir.

My favorite. Had phenomenal weather there in October.

It's a trap, nobody reply.

[Requiem]

It's a trap, nobody reply.

...classic Jbolin....

 

To be serious, I want everyone to get some snow. GFS isn’t too eager for Portland, but still.

[GHweatherChris]

[Requiem]

Seems like youbare already getting teary eyed lol

Um...no, but go ahead if you want to poke fun at me I guess.

[kokaneekidz]

Costco was a madhouse last night at Silver Lake. I love it. I am partially to blame. Own it!

[Deweydog]

Warmer runs ahead. Cut off will be 3 miles north of Bryant’s house.

Dude....c'mon man.

 

I've refrained from saying anything about your broken record cause you're young, but that is the kettle calling itself black if I've ever heard one.

[GHweatherChris]

Lighten up youngin!!
