January 2024 Weather in the PNW (Part I)

[Kolk1604]

Looks like the block is better on the GEFS 

[Mercurial]

Anyway, mod snow here, 1-3" forecasts tonight.  Looks like almost constant snow for the next week or so.

No doubt.  This is looking really good right now.

[Meatyorologist]

Whattttt how does the GFS begin to abandon the GOA blocking then just cha cha slide right back into it a day later like nothing happened? Like a jet extension fakeout

There has been mediocre runs lately, but none did what the GEM did.  This was totally out of left field.

it's obviously sniffing something the others haven't, or is an exacerbated version of the GFS dookie bomb earlier today.  going with the former

[RentonHill]

haha watch that little nugget of cold air come all the way back around for more fun

Pretty sure even the mighty February 2019 saw this level of waffling within 200-150 hours from models (including the EURO). We'll be fine for now.

Yep, I remember you lost your shitt about some wind storm.

[Meatyorologist]

GFS is trying to find a way to invent a Nor'Wester at D11.

I like the seed @TT-SEA planted on this GFS run. Don’t think I didn’t notice.

I don't even remember what I said or if this is sarcasm... can't keep up.   You might be playing 4-D chess but I am over here playing Connect Four and failing.  

[Frontal Snowsquall]

The 00z UKMET out to next Wednesday 4pm now.

[Kolk1604]

Check out the improvments at hour 138 

[snow_wizard]

OMG snowstorm on the GFS a bit further out.  Heavy snow with temps in the teens.

[RentonHill]

Perfect low placement in the fantasy range for us

Not in February 2019, no. January, maybe?

lol 2 feet in one day. 

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

16 in salem, 35 in bend. Might need to extend my stay in the valley by a couple of days LOL

 

Such a amazing run and huge overrunning snowstorm

[DeepFriedEgg]

00z GFS is a beaut.

00z GEM is really weird. I'm sure it is an outlier. Honestly would be a really interesting weather event to track if verified at face value.

[Ken in Wood Village]

This looks like December 2008. We had cold air coming in and overriding moisture from the South. Interesting 🌨

[snow_wizard]

Just speechless.

Yes pretty much THE ideal setup for massive snowstorms (especially for PDX w/ gore influence) if the low placement is right.

[RentonHill]

GEFS finally committing? 

 

[snow_wizard]

Jaw on floor on this run.

My jaw dropped when I saw that was a *24 hour* output. This one is getting framed.

[Doinko]

10-25" from Corvallis to Seattle, wow

[Cloud]

Wow. As I alluded to a couple days ago, this has so much potential for it to be one of the January greats. It still hasn’t wavered.

That is an INSANELY good GEFS run.  Wow!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Nice GFS run. I gotta say.
