Part II- January 2020 Obs and Discussion

[BLI snowman]

PDX has been at 39 or 40 degrees for 24 hours straight. Seems notable.

 

Their lowest daily temp spread on record is 1. Happened twice, 34/33 on 1/16/1960 and 33/32 on 12/9/2016.

 

In both cases, snowstorms followed a few days later!

[FroYoBro]

Hey Froyo!

 

Guesss what my truck’s thermometer says!

38?

[Blizzard777]

Streetlamp in the perfect position as I sit on my couch and watch.

video of the snow blowing past it.

I know it won’t last long but perfect for cocktail hour.

Down to 36 here with the snow melting closer above me in the sky.

[kokaneekidz]

Watching the radar sadly I will be missed tonight with how the rotation of the flow is. Olympics will do me in.

Must have turned wsw .. sighs

[Deweydog]

The radio says to make sure MEDICINE is on your snowstorm shopping checklist.

 

That along with six weeks supply of food, watery, toiletries and porn.

Your thoughts on any chances to salvage what is left of our once glorious Wednesday snow event?

18z Euro remaining with the idea that eastern parts of Snohomish, King, and Pierce counties will do alright tonight. Looks pretty similar to 12z.

 

Through 10AM Tuesday...

 

Better!! Better!!!!!! BETTER!!!!!!!!! Looking a little better for me.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Where are you on the map

Can’t tell where bothell is but 1 to 2 inches looks to be a good bet

You know a few days ago when the models were going nuts with major snow and massive cold I was worried about getting the flu and missing the entire thing. I was extra diligent with washing hands constantly anytime I was out in public, not touching my face or rubbing my eyes etc...But thanks to Matt’s teleconnections I never really had anything to worry about.

At least it hasn't been 33.

You're still getting snow...

You’re welcome sir!

Same here, especially with so many people sick at my work I was being an extra big germaphobe this week. Being stuck inside dying with the flu with the fun stuff going on outside would be the most depressing thing.

[Front Ranger]

...The nightmares I had after two nights straight was enough for me to never touch that stuff again.

Weather models?

[GHweatherChris]

They are definitely seeing something for tomorrow night.

 

 

[MossMan]

Where are you on the map

About right where the little black dot in the circle.

[Omegaraptor]

18z GFS offers a glimmer of hope for the western Portland metro. I would be very happy if that 3-4" solution for here verifies.

 

After hour 150 it's splitty and shitty all the way through.

[FroYoBro]

The next few hours have potential for thicc raindrops.

Not looking good. 18z Euro and the always overzealous NAM suggest we have a tough time even wet-bulbing down to freezing during the evening on Wednesday, which is the brief window where sticking snow looks possible. I think we see something in the air and maybe some accumulations out near the Coast Range.

Nice im a kenmore/bothell so i cant tell if im black or blue

[HighlandExperience]

Quite the change in radar looks for 8PM tonight between 00z and 18z NAM. Ruh roh.

 

 

Mmm. Yuck

There’s always next winter.

Going with the Euro!

Looks good.

[wxmet]

Euro gives me phantom snow. Maybe I’ll see a flake or two.

[Requiem]

Mmm. Yuck

 

Now you know how we feel....

 

jk I still have a feeling that some surprises are going to pop up for the Sound. That second feature could be good for you guys.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Interesting how Hermiston is fully in the grips of a low level arctic blast and Pendleton is hanging above freezing. 

[GHweatherChris]

1 to 3 inches of snow looking a notch more likely here.

Considering how poor this whole thing has ended up I wouldn't put any stock into anything being shown until Thursday works its way thru and we either warm up or we don't. Remember in 96 we were supposed to warm up in a day and it didn't until 8 days later. Fwiw

[HighlandExperience]

Through 7AM it looks a little closer to the Euro now.

 

Removed the snow from Kitsap to the shorelines and kept everything east of I-5 and 405.

 

 

This whole set up is fickle.

Looks like the front just hit PDT in the last hour. Down to 27 with snow and a NE wind there now.

[GHweatherChris]

Most of our snow chances are fickle.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Wow. You haven’t done ridiculously better than everyone else up there? I’m not sure how to process this.

 

Even loaded dice sometimes come up snake eyes.

[HighlandExperience]

That actually looks OK for east king county. Especially for areas east of 167/405.

Mountains killing it!

Considering how epic the snow is up there this is a shame.

[GHweatherChris]

No doubt it is. We are relying a very odd little circumstance to deliver.

 

9 times out of 10, they don't. But I got 100 on that 1, and I'm going to ride or die.

Lets pool our money!!
