Part II- January 2020 Obs and Discussion

Recommended Posts

Getting some pretty major dumpage here in Everett the last 20-30 minutes from a popup shower. Looks like we picked up another half inch in that time to go along with the 1" from last night and 5.5" Sunday night.

 

It's like a Winter Postcard out right now.

 

Gosh, enjoy. Like a dream come true!

Perfect illustration of how this week has gone so far. 

 

That band has been sitting there for at least the past hour... 5 miles away from my house (mouse pointer).

 

Five. Miles.

This band has been sitting right over me and its really hitting hard. At least 1.5" in the last hour and a half. The Issaquah School District closing is now justified...

 

Hope it widens another 5 miles south for you!

At least we got nailed three years ago.

 

Oh, did we really though?

 

Anyways, let's see if the easterly flow can hang on long enough. Maybe a few surprises if it does?

Yes, we did.

 

Weren’t you here?

 

I was (at least I think so).

 

You get any lingering snow showers this morning?

I feel both of you on that. Hoping that is a third convergence forming just north of seattle right over my place...

 

I'm confident you'll at least score a little tonight. Looks like an epic snowstorm for a decent part of the Sound (if the mesoscales are to be trusted, at least).

Tell me about it. I'm just on the other side of 18 from Pacific Raceways and I've barely gotten an inch from each of the last two nights, which melted away both times. I can see the damned wall of clouds from my office window and I'm hating it

Pretty sure 2/24/19 and 4/7/19 proved it isn't always "trend north" or "trend south", it's "Screw Portland as hard as possible".

I remember the big storm in 2017 down in Eugene originally started up in Seattle and then trended south but more than not they seem to trend north.

WTH is a suspicious swing?

Lol, I assume you don’t follow/play baseball?

 

When you have pitches of varying speeds/spin rates coming at you, typically you hedge a bit (let the ball travel a bit, pull your hands back, and sacrifice some power for contact). Maybe de-emphasize your leg-kick if you have one. If you know what’s coming (or guess) you get your bat head out sooner, extend your arms, and if you use a leg kick you might emphasize that early on for torque when returning to the back leg, or you might alter your torso plane just before and during the swing.

Last nights CFS had a pretty strange pattern to close the month.

Yeah I was loving it here up until this week.

 

Now I'm extremely regretting our decision to not move a little further north. That regret will really set in later tonight.

Pretty much from issaquah to Covington down to Black Diamond is not that great for amazing snow. Sometimes the HWY 18 corridor can do good though.

 

Once you cross the issaquah alps into snoqialmie ridge it improves greatly. There were many times it would be raining in Issaquah or Maple Valley and as soon as you cross over to the ridge it’s dumping snow. Pretty frustrating.

 

Beautiful area of course!
