Two wtf gfs runs in a row 

Hard agree

Would be lovely to see a January 1969 dream scenario with those lows just funneling moisture into south-central Oregon.... really would be something to tell future generations 

[Gradient Keeper]

Day 11 PDX High Temp 8 LoL

[Requiem]

It just keeps coming 

[DeepFriedEgg]

GEFS looks slightly improved so far?

[Gradient Keeper]

Night Shift 6z GEFS Day 6.5 850s (4-run trend) Arctic air a bit faster this run.

[DeepFriedEgg]

I literally have no words

[Gradient Keeper]

I am going to say with confidence that we will never see a model run like this ever again.

[DeepFriedEgg]

That’s a run for the ages for PDX

[SpaceRace22]

Portland is going to get 4-5+ feet of snow on this run. I am short circuiting. I don't even know what to say.

Until 12z

[TigerWoodsLibido]

And it just keeps coming...

[Gradient Keeper]

GEFS Day 7 850s (4-run trend)

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Every single place in the Willamette Valley has at least 2 feet of snow on this run.

[Gradient Keeper]

HR 348 there's no stopping the onslaught of bitter air and snow. Not with that block.

[Requiem]

We've seen some pretty spectacular runs but I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this on a model. Some real June 2021 type stuff.

This is otherworldly. Just when I thought the models could only get worse…

[TigerWoodsLibido]

This is a 1969 type setup.

[Gradient Keeper]

GEFS Day 7.5 850s major blast Gorge/Columbia Basin

[DeepFriedEgg]

Essentially PV relocates just north of the PNW?

If you were to draw the craziest, coldest, snowiest scenario possible, this would be it.

Yeah this run at face value would unquestionably be the most extreme arctic blast in recorded history for the entire PNW.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Yeah this is a straight up displacement of a lobe of the polar vortex right over Oregon.

It truly would.

My excitement is unmeasurable and has no proportions.

And then drops down to deliver -20F lmfao

[TigerWoodsLibido]

The entire Willamette Valley well below zero.

Snow depth still measured in feet.

[Gradient Keeper]

GEFS Surface Temps Day 7. When you see this in that one week window you know its getting legit.
