Part II- January 2020 Obs and Discussion

[VancouverIslandSouth]

A general 3-5 inches for most all of Victoria. Not bad. 

 

Still a bit concerned by the radar, the band that should be producing that seems to be caught up further north. We need to see the radar fill in more to our west.

Precip near Bellingham moving straight north.... being pushed by the arctic air roaring in?  

You are without a doubt the most annoying person I have ever encountered.  

[luvssnow_spokane]

You guys are focusing too much on weather. Focus on the Hawks!!

We will lose by one.... 

[Chewbacca Defense]

Wow 6 minutes went from nothing on the ground to the street and driveway quickly turning white.

I think that band from the north will combine with the slight convergence off of Sooke to give us big rates by 8 pm.  Could be wrong but isn't that what the NAM has been hinting at?

That field goal matters

[Weiner Warrior]

You can see the moisture pushing against the arctic air. Soon will be moving south along with colder temps.

[MikeInEverett]

Are you kidding me it’s raining.

[Requiem]

Are you kidding me it’s raining.

 

I have a very big suspicion it'll switch back over with the colder air coming through.

[Randyc321]

Nope.

 

They seem just as wrong as me though in terms of forecasting our local weather.   And knowing my microclimate helps me immensely in terms of knowing what will happen here specifically.   

 

Ok, here is the issue with this.  Yes.   You can do a better job of forecasting your area than the Pro's because you are focusing on a micro-climate you know intimately.  Can you imagine trying to supply that level of data to the public en masse?  That will require more technology than we have now.  They frustrate me, but they have very broad base to feed.  They have got a better job than mine.  They are doing something right.

LETS GO HAWKS

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Coast range seems hungry

[luvssnow_spokane]

Are you kidding me it’s raining.

It’s over!

That low placement must be mismanaged by models. It's all hung up north.

[HoodCanalBridge]

Still shadowed in my neck of the woods

[HighlandExperience]

Are you kidding me it’s raining.

Seriously?

[jakerepp]

Wow yeah lots of green all of a sudden in the northern Puget sound area.

[Deweydog]

Got some kold rain here. It’s heading your way K%%%%!

[kokaneekidz]

The hammer will drop and drop hard. Patience is a virtue.

Apparently Tim was suspended.

 

He wanted me to let everyone know his post about Bellingham's snow and the arctic air was meant to be sarcastic and that he got distracted from editing it by the Seahawks game getting more interesting.

I do hope that he is let back soon.

 

Snowing again here!

We need his wxbell maps

[Deweydog]

I’d rather he was dead, but this will work for now I guess.

 

Hope it snows!!!

I wouldn't want him to be permabanned but he was absolutely begging for a suspension. His posts were making the forum almost unreadable.

[MikeInEverett]

Graupel now

Honestly, I had him on ignore for the past two weeks and he still made it unbearable.

[Chewbacca Defense]

Its kind of interesting to watch the freezing line expand across Whatcom County.  I'm usually not sitting at a computer when these events happen.  Snow intensity has slowed so it is melting off the road.  Need that freezing line to get to my house, showing 32.4 on the weather station so its close!

[TigerWoodsLibido]

All the way down to a frigid...40F

We still have a decent shot at it given the outflow hasn't arrived yet, but is getting relatively close. I think the gap in the radar is missing some of the stuff west of Duncan.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Snowing like it's no tomorrow in south Bellingham.

 

Barely a few flakes in north Bellingham.

 

I'm in north Bellingham.

Fred put out a warning.

[GHweatherChris]

We need his wxbell maps

We have other options.

[MikeInEverett]

Thanks Malik Turner! Terrible.

[joelgombiner]

fun to watch the front pass through these stations. 

dropped 8 degrees in 30 minutes here, snow started, and wind went from WSW at 2 gusting 7 to NE 10 gusting 17

[joelgombiner]

The front will pass through Bellingham in the next 15 minutes 

[kokaneekidz]

Graupel now

 

Baby steps.

[kokaneekidz]

My ground is white but nothing like alderwot mall. Hope to wake up to chains required including awd in AM

[MikeInEverett]

And we’re back to all snow.

[Requiem]

And we’re back to all snow.

 

There we go!

[El_Nina]

Light wet snow in Sandy ~1000'. Radar suggested it was trying at home too, probably just a mix there maybe.
