Bham_Guy Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 3" for Bellingham??????? Must be up at the airport, we maybe have 1-1.5" in the Squalicum/Barkey hills less than 1" down in Barkley Village. It's definitely not at the airport.

I suspect the inch I picked up during the 4th quarter of the football game is all I'm going to see tonight. But hoping to wake up to a surprise.

Timmy Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Thus far gauging current temperatures, dewpoints from Bellingham, Lynden, Abbotsford and progress of arctic front into North Puget Sound(Everett) and also North Central Washington it appears the GFS is handling the arctic air and progression of it much better than the EURO. We'll have to see how that plays out the next few days. It's now time for real-time observations, gradients, and upper air temps. Models, schmodels.

luvssnow_spokane Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 I am feeling a bout 90% confident the convergence zone is petering out.

Rubus Leucodermis Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 For sure! I left about 7:30 to go to the gym and it was 30 degrees and my driveway was a slippery slushy mess. When I left the gym an hour later it was still 30, but over the 3 miles of my drive home, it dropped to 25, and my driveway was already quite crunchy. Can't say I've ever experienced that. Trying to figure out now if we are done with the moisture up here. I hope not but it would also be nice to know what I am facing tomorrow morning. At this point I probably don't need to shovel my neighbor's driveway, but if we get more, she will try to get out and do it herself if I don't (87 year old widow...not happening on my watch). Personally, I hope we get more snow. I'm feeling gypped. North end of town got only a dusting. I watched the radar echoes disintegrate as soon as they got within a mile of me this evening. 1 Quote It's called clown range for a reason.

Perturbed Member Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Glad folks in the WA lowlands are scoring, at least some good will come out of this pattern. D**n, a few days ago I was joking that the Wedneday low would end up in north Vancouver Island. Looks like that is exactly where the 00z EURO wants to take it. For us lowly valley floor dwellers in PDX the only shot we have left is getting lucky tomorrow with it being a hair cooler than modeled and getting a bit more precip from that low passes to the south. Slim chances. There is still enough time between now and the mid week low that the track can still change given how bad models have handled it, but the clock is certainly ticking on that too. Odds are good we will all see some flakes in the air and maybe a trace accumulation at some point. I think K%% or anyone with elevation should get a few inches.
