jakerepp Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 What I’m learning is that people have no idea you can look at a Radar image to see roughly where it is snowing and when you can expect it to maybe end. 1 Quote Home Weather Station Stats for 2023 High - Satans Bunghole Lowest High - Not sure Low - I don't have the data Sub 40 highs - Not quite Sub-freezing highs - Try again Lows below 25 - You're joking Lows below 20 - No 2023 Snowfall - LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perturbed Member Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Any good news for us Portlanders? 18z GFS looks a bit wetter with the Wednesday system. Still 60 hours out. I hope it doesn't trend in the direction of the GEM where the low is even further offshore and goes to north Vancouver island. That would be a trace of snow to all rain quickly. Unfortunately there isn't a single ensemble member in any of these models that shows a real favorable track for that low. Some are just less bad than others. The best outcome here is to get a small accumulation before the low pulls too far north and the south winds kick in. 2-4 inches is still not off the table and that would hardly be bad. It is probably a best case scenario at this point however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelgombiner Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 In case anyone is wondering where the “arctic” front is. It is right at Everett.I think it's between Kent and Federal Way based on surface wind vectors, but it's clearly no longer a sharp air boundary as it was yesterday.

GHweatherChris Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 No mention in the afternoon AFD of what we've been discussing for the potential tonight. They talk about something similar happening tomorrow night, which made me go back and double check we were reading the dates/times correctly, which we were. Oh well, will be a surprise to (almost) everybody if it does happen! Sometimes those are the best.Jaya appears onboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootthekazoo Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Here in Auburn near the North end of the airport and I've been watching a dark wall coming from the W/NW for the last couple hours. Just now starting to see the hills to the west beginning to look a bit fuzzy as I presume some light snow is starting to fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmboy Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 I hope this whole experience reminds some of you to not rush to tell family/friends/co-workers that an arctic blast is coming after several runs showing an arctic blast, wait until an hour before it hits, then spill the beans. I think some here jinxed it by talking about it too soon. Quote "Avoiding unwanted weather is a key element of happiness." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
