1 to 8 inches lol, don't know if I've ever seen that before.

I loved the bet hedging here, basically admitting they have no clue WTF will happen. "Amounts could be greater if it snows for longer". Probably a very wise decision after what happened last February.

One to 4 inches possible through late Friday

  evening, with amounts greater than 8 inches possible if snow

  persists into Saturday.

Its also about the suspense... this is like a great movie that you can't stop watching! 

I think things are pretty close to settled at this point.

I don't think they are for Saturday yet, tomorrow night that statement may be true.

Man... so tired.   But can't miss the ECMWF!   Maybe a nap and set alarm for 9:55??

So you can post warm and dry frames? Get some sleep man.

Lol I was joking. I don’t really think it’s going to change much though.

Well.. it was fun. I'm sort of glad it's over and I can go back to my normal life.

How's the JMA? It looks snowy for PDX from tropical tidbits but I can't really tell

Yes... still hoping for a boat day on Saturday.   I will find the evidence!

We been fooled before

You know most of the time when we get these storms east of Portland, they are 8 or more inches, with winds 30 mph or more and the temperature is usually in the mid to low 20's. I have seen it happened repeatedly over the last 30 years. Is that a Blizzard, I know that they have said Blizzard-like but what is the distinction?

Expect a ban.

You can appeal in person.

The surprise ending is still very much a possibility!

Lots of precip on Friday and Saturday with the 850 0c line staying south. Looks good.

00z UK further north. The models are tightening up now. Here we go!!!

[Kayla]

Still dumping here and down to 14F. 3-4" already when the models predicted maybe an inch tonight. Down to 13F now. Just another example of how much the models struggle with this level of cold advection and moisture. Bodes well for you all with the Arctic front.

That snowfall happened largely in an 8 hour period. This is 3x as long as that. Honestly think this will surpass that. 

This storm will impact a much larger geographical area too, with either snow or ice.
