All snow belongs to the Winter Warlock, and he says TREND NORTH.

LMAO I speak for like the 3 posters south of the 49th parallel on here and say TREND SOUTH

[Weiner Warrior]

Well, that sucks. It's over. Good job Portland for winning this one.

2-0 the past two years. Oh well, maybe next season.

[TT-SEA]

Well... GFS is still coming with a developed low on Saturday.   Spreading the wealth more.  

[Christensen87]

That first system has always been kind of south, isn’t the next big low that comes in Saturday the Seattle system? Still looks good to me.

It’ll probably still snow a bit Seattle south of Seattle even if the low ends up a bit more south of where it’s shown. Hard to be surprised though that the gfs caved lol

Not surprised. Gfs has been sticking to its guns lately. Whether that means it busts or not remains to be seen

Also be nice if the power stopped flickering... I am recording the new episode of Fargo   A show with lots of winter weather scenes.   But frustratingly inconsistent... beautiful new fallen snow in one scene and then 10 minutes later in show time its all melting and dirty... then 10 minutes later its fresh white again.   I find it distracting.    My wife says she doesn't even notice it.   @Deweydogwould you be distracted?   

This shiit drives me crazy 

[TT-SEA]

GFS shifted south but then still brings in another batch of moisture to the north.   Much less precip overall though.

Love the emotions people but at least wait for all the frames

Canadian looks like snow gets into the south sound too. Definitely not over for Seattle snow chances at all. 

[Slushy Inch]

Juicy, enjoy your freezing rain. I think models will meet somewhere in the middle soon.

[MikeInEverett]

That 2nd system looks good though. Maybe that can make it a win for everyone

[LowerGarfield]

The GFS is a nice compromise. I hope it verifies. Through hour 90 I have nothing to complain about. We lost the insane snow totals in my area but would still have a nice event if it verifies and allows places like Salem to score.

[snow_wizard]

Dream run for Seattle.  Nice!

[bainbridgekid]

Despite the jump South, the 00z GFS still gives Seattle a nice snowstorm Saturday morning with that second wave. Really complex situation with multiple low pressure systems needing to be tracked along the baraclinic boundary.

I'm thankful that ZR has become very unlikely for Seattle now.

Helluva air mass. What'd you hit last December again? I think you said Bozeman was near all time record?

[TT-SEA]

12Z GFS on top... new 00Z on the bottom.

Other models have been toying with the idea of the second wave.  It is so cold when this falls too.  Wow!

This doesn't look like Seattle missing out to me.

I thought I was going to hate this run more but I really can't complain.

This one is a big big prize with that cold extension showing up now.  This is getting good!

[SnowySeeker50]

Temps at 1pm during the peak of the snowfall

I would be totally fine with this. Let's book it, guys. 

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Lots of pepto for Salem on this run.

[Winterdog]

The GFS is being itself again.  Yeah sure, Everett is going to get 10" of snow by Saturday night and be at 11 degrees by 1am Sunday morning.

 

[Sandy rocks]

I tell you what guys, I will happily take the cold and you can have the moisture, if I can escape having any ice. These maps are confusing to me, some say snow, some say ice. I don't know what to believe.

[snow_wizard]

You have got to be kidding.  This is the warmest frame for Saturday.

This would hurt me. Right on the dividing line in the zero land. 

[TT-SEA]

Loop of the GFS... is the second wave that gets Seattle but the deck is cleared out after that wave.   Also sure the snow totals are way overstated per normal with the GFS.    But a really nice snow event with cold air if it verifies.
