Everything is pointing towards a torch this winter. No doubt about it now unfortunately

Saturday looks dependent on dynamic cooling with the precip rates being decent right off the bat before WAA quickly jumps the snow level up. The UW-WRF does have flakes down to sea level briefly in BC but I wouldn't count on it. It's going to be brief. And then Sunday the snow level will be well above the passes again. Just a brutal stretch for getting ski season going, although the Euro shows an occluded front followed by a decent postfrontal period about a week out that would finally allow for some decent accumulation. The webcams at Snoqualmie don't look terrible so they should be open by next weekend at least.

Yep I keep hoping for that one.

maybe a trace today if we're lucky. 1-4" for the crest. I don't see anymore snow on the models into the extended range. hopefully something can break through before the new year.

I've seen a few random GFS runs show a nice storm splitting off in about 10 days and SLAMMING California.
