I can hear the south wind picking up here now... starting to roar out there. 

The wind loop shows strong S and SW wind for the Seattle area until about 1 p.m. tomorrow... then it goes calm for a short time with the passage of the front and then starts getting strong from the north.    On Friday the north wind will be ripping down the Sound will its basically calm across the EPSL.    Then the east wind takes over.

The NAM is somehow colder than its last run

Lytton is down to 23F with a N wind at 25mph.  It’s moving!

Winter Storm Warning. I think they are sleeping on the ice potential along the foothills. 

[Perturbed Member]

Mark more bullish on a snowy day for Saturday.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Down to -15 in Prince George. 2 in K Falls @Timmy Supercell

Phil always takes a break during our local event lead ups when it gets crazy on here.  He is a big picture guy.

So you're telling me there's a chance.....?

[The Blob]

Did they lower the snow amounts for Friday night?

[ShawniganLake]

Portland snow lovers are very interested in German weather modeling accuracy at the moment.

Cruising through the canyon on Highway 1, windows down, waving the Canadian flag and blasting The Tragically Hip at full volume (RIP Gord Downie). Using the Huntingdon crossing to enter The States by sunrise.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

This is gonna be one hell of an ice storm.

[ShawniganLake]

RGEM refusing to bump north at all.  

[SouthHillFrosty]

Going to bed… slight jump north!

[Tanis Leach]

All TV stations compared in Portland and Eugene. Some notes:

Never seen a donut before

I've been up for awhile couldn't help but wonder what the models are showing so that's why I'm awake it's going to be a long day (I'm working 9 hour days ).

Models are looking better for snowfall in my area and other places too but that's not the reason why I'm making a post. 

I was looking through Facebook and I follow this group for the PNW and saw this picture and had to screenshot it for the people up in the Seattle area. This is an amazing picture and the amount of snow that fell is incredible. It's so hard for Seattle and Portland to get a decent amount of snow but 5 feet amazing 🌨

I disappear for about 3 hours and come back to only one new page.

Kitty on the move…it knows it’s coming

Arctic Air is on the move. You can see the clouds moving SW in British Columbia. You also can see the temperatures too. There are some really cold air up North 🌨

[MossMan]

Currently 34.1 dry degrees out. It’s crazy how much sleep I have lost during the last two weeks waiting for this day to finally come…
Dry.

Bare ground going into this whole thing…Will be bare ground coming out of this thing…Unbelievable.
 

[TacomaWx]

Outflow has started in Hope BC it looks like. Will be interesting to see what happens today Arctic fronts are always a nowcast. 

[umadbro]

6z gfs takes the low on the northerly track before diving south 

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Starting to get breezy out there. Temp 36.1˚F, DP 26.2˚F.

It’s heere.

Encouragingly, wind is from the NW. Howe Sound outflow. Fraser outflow arrives later. What happens when Fraser outflow meets Howe Sound outflow? Convergence.

My son who leaves for work at 5:30 just texted me this and said "you spent the last 10 days hyping this up for this... aren't you from Minnesota?"   

It could have been so memorable for him in Seattle if the compromise solution was just a little farther north.

[TT-SEA]

As mentioned on here earlier... the 06Z GFS did have a northward jump over night.    One more jump like that and Seattle gets in on the craziness and its a totally different story.

[TT-SEA]

The 06Z ECMWF actually shifted south... and seems to have tightened up the heaviest snow band to focus directly over Portland.

Mark loves this model. Over 10” here.
