At some point it got pretty windy by the looks of the mess outside.  It was pretty calm when I went to bed, and pretty calm when I woke up though.

Late November and December 1950 was very mild.

Best run yet. Note the contours bending around off Vancouver Island. The Columbia Basin turns quite cold! C'MON!!!!

[MossMan]

Getting awfully dark out here. Was going to start the storm clean up but I think I’ll watch the Husky game a bit longer and see how things transpire outside. 
.79” so far on the day.

Nice cluster of cold members, but we really need to remove those warmer 0c+ members in the coming days. Hopefully we will.

Drunk bastard running now

Seems like we are seeing steady ensemble improvements. This has the hallmarks of setting up for an early December BLAST.

Up to 6.32” on the month. This weekend ended up a lot wetter than the models were suggesting a couple days ago. Down here at least. 

Not too shabby.

Anything that will screw the east coast weenies out of cold/snow and favors us Pacific Northwesterners instead I am ALL FOR!!!!!! 

Nothing makes a PNW cold snap perfect like some quality East Coast torching. It is like the cherry atop a sundae.

Been a solid start to the month. This weekend looks to overachieve a bit too. 

[MossMan]

Dumpage! 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Pretty chilly 12z CFS run.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Obviously has a transitory look, but not bad.

Winter has arrived at Mission Ridge.  Snowy and 24 with a wind gust to 86 today.

Really nice ensemble improvements.

As all of us here are aware, Sequim, Port Angeles and surrounding vicinity is a well known rain shadow. Really wish I would've purchased property there years ago. It's a neat area to get away from the hustle and bustle of the greater puget sound.

Yes, we are all aware of the shadow. But these maps are % of normal. And we are WAY below normal. I’m not b*tching just to b*tch

[snow_wizard]

The ECMWF likes the idea of a mid week mini cold snap for us.  Frosty nights with highs in the 40s.

Probably.  I'm not going to bet on anything though.

Your area has been in a pretty serious long term drought also.

It was an absolutely terrible drive over snoqualmie and blewett. So much water on the roadway. Was hydroplaning at 50mph. At the very top of blewett it was 33 and trying to stick but for the most part just heavy SPLATS all the way.

I was surprised to see snow on the ground on the Blewett Pass webcam today.  Must have fallen from an earlier system.

Yeah it’s looking like places could see some freezes this week.

As others have stated the GEFS improved significantly making a move towards the cold CMCE. A trend? Ya gotta believe! Looking further the 850s for Moses Lake coldest mean yet and a chunk of cold members. Surface temps also coldest GEFS run yet. Very chilly. Just be patient. BE PATIENT DAMMIT AND KEEP CALM! WE CAN'T LOSE OUR HEADS ON THIS! Okay.

Any drive over Blewett is terrible.  So many accidents there.  Winding and steep at times with so many aggressive and impatient drivers.  Every accident is either someone passing when they shouldn't or someone going too fast downhill around a corner.

I once saw a large RV passing another RV going downhill around a corner, and barely missed an RV in front of us going uphill.

Well that was fun!! Driving up to Burlington for the kids school function and we saw lots of lightning and what appeared to be a funnel cloud beginning to form but then began to sheer? I know nothing about those sorts of things. Then we got hit by big time hail that sounded like it was going to break my wife’s windshield. My wife and kids were not pleased but I was having fun! 

[Port Angeles Foothiller]

Lol, I love the emotion shifts run to run

Wow. That is very impressive structure. Nice storm!
