Arctic trough just needs to nudge a bit to the west at hour 135 or so

Just goes to show if the continental and marine air mix, like what can happen in the PNW, the potential becomes higher than any other city. Now getting those factors to set up is an entirely different story.

 

And curious, what are the other cities totals since I don't look at them that often?

Minneapolis is 34.6" in January 1982
Chicago is 23" in January 1967
NYC is 27.5" in January 2016
Detroit is 24.3" in April 1886

Looks as if Jan 1950 and 1969 had a baby.

Day 4 (4-run trend)

Wait, did anyone ask the Arctic front if it believes in global warming or which prime minister they voted for? Clearly that needs to be ironed out before we even think about cold and snow.

Agreed. These are important and vital details that must be ironed out before we can build snowmen.

I once fired a pest control company because all they did was set traps.  I could have done that!  The one I hired did a thorough inspection, closed and sealed every little gap that mice could get through, and we haven't had one since.  Ours were getting in largely through the basement, where they can dig holes (the crawl space doesn't have a floor), and they used the insulation to nest.  Even had a small depression in the garage where the furnace say and it was enough for them to get through.  No danger of the furnace crashing down, but they sealed that gap too.

Don't settle for a company that just puts down traps.

Yup they love furnaces especially if it’s in the garage.

He is sloppy with the dates, but his point remains the same. While I don’t like how he is using the point, he is right. We don’t know the precise climate 100k years ago.

we certainly get a decent look be investigating ice cores in Antarctica, at least on a global scale and the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere back to that time (and earlier) 

[Mid Valley Duck]

Ridge looks weaker at day 5

I'm not concerned though this is the GFS so at the very least it will be something like Dec 2008 best case Jan 1950

This run actually has more snow tacoma north so far

This is different, significant snow starts quite a bit earlier over the Strait of Georgia, from Monday night all through to Tuesday evening.

Too bad the snow levels wont ever get below 1000ft

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

THE 00Z is slightly  different BUT from what I can see, it's not a good different, its further west!

[SouthHillFrosty]
