Part II- January 2020 Obs and Discussion

[Requiem]

This is not from the WRF from UW like you think.

 

Darn, which one is this?

[Rubus Leucodermis]

On a positive note, did you enjoy the snowfall last year there. I was there for 2 years at the UA. The desert was too much for me. Remember getting excited for rain as much as we are for snow here in PNW.

 

That’s one of the reasons I left the desert. Never enough rain and green for me. Whenever a good rain event happened, when it ended, I’d always feel “Oh, that’s all? Now it’s back to sunny and dry again? Such a shame.” Many other people were sure I wouldn’t last in the Pacific Northwest, because it was too rainy. But I knew.

[MossMan]

snow is a common cause for sleep apnea.

Fact!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Wasn't horrific but it's mostly been in the t-2" camp for a while now yeah? 

 

Ironically that is the best map so far up here for that time period. 

[Weiner Warrior]

Never say never again. That is a surefire way to get burned. Anything is possible. Yet no snow is the easiest forecast when you are near the largest ocean in the world. Statistics

Way to warm outside. It'll never snow in 45 degree temps + 3 for the bias

[Cloud]

WRF next 24 hour. Uh oh... 

 

[MossMan]

Here's the UW-WRF through 4PM tomorrow... Looks pretty nice.

 

Vomit!!

[jcmcgaffey]

Been snowing pretty good here in north Seattle and starting to cover roads already.

[seattleweatherguy]

Snowing in bothell

[Requiem]

WRF next 24 hour. Uh oh...

Looks amazing, that's a full 4 inches in some places!

[kokaneekidz]

Fact!

At this point I am hallucinating due to being up most nights since the new year began.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

So if I say the Kuchera totals on the map won't actually materialize, they will?

 

Very well then: they will never materialize.

Thats the UW one.

[SouthHillFrosty]

WRF next 24 hour. Uh oh... 

 

ww_msnow24.24.0000.gif

4 inches would definitely make up for last night!!!!!!!!!

[jakerepp]

That’s prob headed my way

Over me right now. Small flakes but a lot of them. Driveway is white again.

[wxmet]

Good sh*t on radar. Good sh*t.

[Requiem]

Thats the UW one.

 

Still, multiple models advertising more than 2 inches for many locations? I'd kill for it, especially seeing as it's sticking around for a while.

Reverse psychology my anonymous friend;/

[BLI snowman]

Down to 19 at Pendleton, a little colder than expected in the Basin this evening.

[TacomaWaWx]

Snow accumulating to cars and grass here. Roads still good.

[jakerepp]

Also, I miss Tim.

Sorry, I’m prolly gonna get suspended for that too, like AJ Hinch and Jeff Luhnow SUCK IT ASTROS

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Been over 29 years since we've had single-digit temps.

Wow, had no idea it was that long. Sort of sad, really.

[FroYoBro]

Down to 19 at Pendleton, a little colder than expected in the Basin this evening.

 

Yeah, I look forward to seeing what the gorge and basin are down to in the morning. It will be important for our chances Wednesday night.

#FreeTim.

Free Willy too

[GHweatherChris]

I used to get excited for the WRF, not anymore for here. If it verifies with what iy is showing by tomorrow night I will maybe have some belief.

[BLI snowman]

Models are pretty firm that they mix out again somewhat tomorrow, before the low level cold resasserts itself on Wednesday as the storm ramps up.

[MossMan]

I was pretty much up from the end of January until mid February, and again the first two weeks of March last year...It was insane! There was also the small fact of also having a 3 month old as well...

[Bham_Guy]

Wow, had no idea it was that long. Sort of sad, really.

 

I think we've reached 10° like four times since then.

[Requiem]

Wednesday's our last hope....any good trends are automatically elevated to great trends.

[GHweatherChris]

Radar does not currently support the snowfall totals shown for here.

[ShawniganLake]

21F here. Snowed lightly all day. Ended up with about 5” total.

 

WRF is a little further south than most guidance but crushed the central sound with snow tomorrow night.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Radar does not currently support the snowfall totals shown for here.

Yeah it is fizzling out off the coast for sure. Could be more coming though beyond range.

[Perturbed Member]

Wasn't horrific but it's mostly been in the t-2" camp for a while now yeah? 

 

Yeah looks a bit worse than the 12z but not dramatically. 

 

[VancouverIslandSouth]

I’m not sure I would agree with that. I’m reasonably sure Bellingham has seen single digits in the past decade, and it’s unlikely to get that cold in this event. The real top-tier cold snap is limiting itself to the BC interior.

 

Just take a look at the daytime high at Abbotsford today; only made it up to 16F. No recent outbreaks have come anywhere near that cold for a daytime high.

[Blizzard777]

#FreeTim. 

I enjoy him as well but we do have chance to surpass his post count or at least catch up.  Should only take...let’s see...a lot, it will take a lot of post to catch up!

Tomorrow night is looking really good north of Seattle. 

[Blizzard777]

Free Willy too

We did and he died! 

[Cloud]

WWA now extended again through 7AM. I think that makes it a full 24-hour WWA.

Pretty sure due to the shower and convective nature of the current pattern, they are pretty much real-time updating as they monitor progresses. If what the models showing is true, could possibly see an upgrade to WSW for some areas. 

[Christensen87]

South Sound’s turn tonight!
