I just joined and put my location in pretty soon.  I guess some don't want you to know :).  

I mean I assume its your username? Lol

The EPS control is noticeably faster with the cold than the 12z.  The mean is about the same.

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

Accuweathers forecast for me for the rest of the month and then some. Why do they forecast this far?!

Well, yes, but it's nice to know elevation and what not.  

[awright-31]

Just got back in from my afternoon route. There are 40 new pages.

Can someone summarize? Is it over or is it locked in?

Just to show trends perhaps.

Imagine having your town in your username, couldn't be me....

Elevation helps too, especially in the valley due to the microclimates.

You can see it smoothing out towards climatology after 15 days or so. Completely useless

Neither, but the majority of ensembles look good so I'd say it's more likely than not, going to get cold.

It's more meaningful when it's less than a week out.

Snow and chilly temps for Western WA. A few drunken slushy snowflakes for Western OR. Maybe a bit of freezing rain.

now an inaccuweather monthly forecast qualifies as total spam, that is useless

It is overall way too warm. Probably to get colder than that in Sunriver next week.

Things start getting really interesting in the 120-144 hour range. Not too far away now!

Really is a lack of talent over here in Central Oregon between local meteorologists and the NWS in general.

InAccuWeather is a private business, not part of the NWS.

Interestingly a handful of members are showing this now.

[Skagit Weather]

It's within NWS point forecast now! This is for just north of Bellingham with a forecast high in the mid 20s next Friday. I still have my doubts, but I'm starting to get a little excited.

It's hard to forecast with zero radar coverage. If I was a meteorologist, I wouldn't want to be there. 

[SimplySmoothWX]

487 guests....wow!

[T-Town]

I’m trying to remember the last time the weather was even as interesting as today’s breezy with occasional rain squalls. Nice to have turned a corner and be looking forward to some potential excitement. 

[SeanNyberg]

Seems like the entire PNW caught word of this at the same time today. If this thing busts, the outcry will be epic and far from this forum.

[SimplySmoothWX]

The entire PNW will be joining us tonight to watch the next batch of model runs

[The Cats Meow]

I'm telling you guys, ya just gotta believe.

[Dave]

How nice would it be to finally have a blast that takes care of everyone from BC to the California border. I believe 2004 was the last time that happened. I will give ginormous hugs to everyone if that happens. Probably won't though.

And the only reporting NWS office is in Pendleton of all places.

[Meatyorologist]

Gonna change back to admin for the duration of this event in case the politics talk gets out of hand again or small changes need to be made to titles, pins, ect. User numbers are skyrocketing so the more help the better

[PrideOfPrineville]

Things are going to blow up if the 00z goes bonkers.

So true. WU is at least believable.

In fairness to @Parrot none of the locations show on mobile except if they are part of the signature. All the locations appear on tablets or labtops.

No they'll wait until their iphone updates.

It's happening. Trust the process, everyone.

Interesting.  I would imagine that could be fixed?
