VancouverIslandSouth Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Still 24F here, EC says we warm to 39F with mix rain/snow by noon. Looks like we picked up a few more inches of snow since 1am last night, over a foot of powdery snow on the ground in places that weren't previously cleared. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art_Digbee Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I would estimate roughly 4" of new snow on average on the northwestern side of Orcas. Like Chewy I have a lot of drifts so it varies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it's normal to have a couple days a year where Portland is warmer than Phoenix. Remember last spring when we had that Rex Block?

Omegaraptor Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Tim should move to Sequim. I know I wouldn't. The only real thing they have going for them is Fraser Outflow like in Feb 2019. Otherwise you might as well be on the moon if you want interesting weather. Pretty sure Tim would want warmer summers than Sequim anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Port Angeles is probably more like 10-12" long term. They will get totally nailed in the right setup with upslope snow in strong Fraser River events, but they can also go a long time without a lot of action. They typically get shadowed badly during overrunning events and anything backdoor oriented or with onshore flow is a no go for them. I think they went from January 2012 to February 2019 without any >2" events, so the last two years are just making up for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omegaraptor Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 12z GFS is boring and splitty. There's a 969mb low off the coast around 42N at hour 126 but it looks too far away to give us a wind event just some boring drizzle. Every low just goes to either BC or CA and we get table scraps.

TT-SEA Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Regardless of the differing snow totals, I think we can all agree the GFS did horribly for temps. Juuuuuust a bit outside.... GFS ended up only being off by 31° for Seattle's morning low temp today ������ Predicted 6 for today from last Thursday's run. It was 37. pic.twitter.com/6DpwGQeDb1— Scott Sistek (@ScottSKOMO) January 15, 2020 GFS temp maps and temp output should honestly never be used. Might as well draw your own fantasy maps.

BLI snowman Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Apparently the last 2-3 weeks have already been completely deleted from your memory. Certainly was significantly better for the mountains, but there wasn't anything remotely consequential here locally in the valley pit of despair. No significant storms, snow, and until last night not even a single freeze.

That’s a pattern you are always complaining about not seeing and now that we’ve had one it’s almost as if it didn’t even happen. It’s just back to the same drumbeat of storms ALWAYS missing us to the north or south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
