Lurker here.  Finally decided to join.  Never trust the 18z is my motto.

Howdy! That'd be good to have as your signature at the bottom lol

May just be wishcasting but I don't think Eugene or the central valley will be left out

Yeah during slow times I've actually learned a lot from people here but during mega hype periods like this it's very difficult to discern. Heck there's like 600 miles of difference between regular posters so you have to geolocate everyone just to begin to interpret their interpretation.

Its really annoying when some posters are like "omg getting dumped with snow" and there's absolutely no hint in their name, bio, or signature where they are

[Kolk1604]

Yay we're back 

[thisisacreativename]

Back in business

[Dave]

Forum off for 20 minutes. I guess winter is cancel.

[Meatyorologist]

Thought we'd have to wait until the Arctic front to see any blackouts

[TigerWoodsLibido]

You know shit's gettin' real when the forum crashes. Great to see newbies and welcome to the pro mets.

Mark Nelsen:

Our weather turns far more interesting late next week.  For several days models have been forecasting cold arctic air to drop south across the Canadian border and into the Pacific Northwest late in the week.  By “cold arctic air” we mean cold enough that temperatures don’t get above freezing in Portland, or even stay in the 20s.  When this happens, often some of the cold air moves out over the ocean and picks up moisture which then becomes snow showers.  We think something like that is possible on Friday or beyond next week.  Exactly how far south the cold air goes, when showers would change to snow, and how much snow could fall are the unknowns. There is still a chance the real cold air stays bottled up north of the border and the mixed showers pattern just continues with no real effect in the lowlands.  But it’s safe to say the chance for cold and or lowland snow has increased at the end of the 7 Day Forecast.

Looks like Mark is being conservative as usual.

Website was down for a while

[smerfylicious]

They're coming. Will they reach past the great border? Did they update their passports?

[Anti Marine Layer]

Police harassment trolls are making the website talk

GFS 18z Ensembles, tomorrow at 4am. LOL This is why we switch to short-term models at some point. 

[Dave]

This forum started blaring out an annoying youtube video for reasons that I have no idea about. I suspect that it why it was shut down for a bit.

[Cold Snap]

18z GEFS still looks great it’s a tad further east but it’s going to of course wobble.

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

GEFS 18Z is the coldest run yet!

Warning shots!

I like how Fred threatens to ban everyone for politics, and then embeds a deranged sovereign citizen video to auto play every time you open the forum. I know this is the kind of garbage he's watching now, no hiding it.

Tch. You're supposed to know.

[SeanNyberg]

The frustratingly short 18z Euro is starting now. It only goes out to Tuesday morning, but who knows. Maybe we can get something from it.

Huh

[Dave]

Looking good for the mountains. 

 

[Roman-Dallas Snow-Zone]

All my sources and AI algorithms can confirm something catastrophic weather wise will happen end of next week. Buckle up!

Had to undo a MySQL patch. The site is being hit by what I can assume are LLM crawlers for ByteDance and CommonCrawl, all at once. They're hitting some older pages that are causing a stuck pid. Drained traffic, did the roll back, checked, and here we are.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Time to hack the hackers.

Thought I was losing my mind. Can’t access from home laptop (xfinity) only on phone on 5G and a completely different network. Weird
