50 miles north and a lot more people would get excited. Seen stranger things happen.

It’s possible…I think there’s a chance atleast south of Seattle.

Can we please get this unpinned?  I am tired of looking at his face every time I go to another page..

Was just going to say, I hope Sean comes back so he can tell me how I should feel about all this.

[TT-SEA]

Meanwhile in Seattle... no hint of what is about to happen.  There will be white caps on the Sound by tonight and tomorrow.

everything about this event (at least in E WA) seems to have been over advertised to this point.  hoping the cold wasn't as well

Agree. Granted I'm more southernly that you but seems to be a non event here other than the Arctic air. I'm glad I got my 3.5 inches yesterday though or I'd be in full puke / weenie mode.

If you get anything good, I hope it's not too cold for him to play in! Side note: you are usually the funniest poster here. Do you tell jokes at work?

[westcoastexpat]

Continued support for continued cold in the extended. January looking to be solidly below normal.

-10 unless he’s diesel

[LowerGarfield]

People are still reacting to Sean's post. Every time the page refreshes, I see a new reaction, It was previously at 46 or 47, now up to 50 in the last 15 minutes or so.

Just started snowing here!

NWS not very confident in much from the Arctic front:

lol they didn’t even try to do a forecast. Understandable with how unpredictable they can be. Now there’s definitely going to be a widespread over performance!

bare ground here.  I'm actually more interested in breaking cold records at this point

[Frontal Snowsquall]

12z EURO output shows 7.7” snow for PDX. Snow ends around Saturday midnight. Saturday temps are in the teens all day with strong east winds.

[Skagit Weather]

North wind looks like it just arrived here in Skagit. Temperature is down a couple degrees from 44F earlier.

[GHweatherChris]

Trying to switch to all snow here, just a tad too warm to be impactful though.

That shows 1-2 inches here. That would be a miracle

I realize at this point you’re just being a petty troll, but that’s actually a pretty good signal for chilly surface temps into the long range.

That warm nose up into Oregon City is so sad.

He stays. Kind of like as a warning to your enemies or an offering to a mesoamerican god.

in fact I think it should be even larger it should take up like 90% of the page

I completely agree. It's a great signal and we are seeing more members today than yesterday jumping onboard.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Clouds are popping up all over the place here. Convergence is starting to do its thing.

I’d definitely take that …lol

 

[Chewbacca Defense]

It's struggling, but anything that is falling is sticking.  Very dynamic system here.  It got so bright and sunny out quit looking outside.  Then I noticed it was clouded up again and pulled up the radar and saw that business was picking up here in WC.

The snow flakes are pretty big, but light amounts.  It looks like more precip is popping up to my north so hopefully we can get something meaningful before the air dries out too much

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Down to 35.8˚F after a max of 38.5˚F here.

Sort of weird the discrepancies between these text outputs and the wxbell visuals

I had a graupel shower around 10:30 that turned everything white but has since melted. Hoping we can squeeze a few phat flakes out on the south side of town today!

I don’t remember a time the models didn’t scour out the cold air too quick. @Cascadia_Wx

Handsome boy!  Here’s Minshew! (son was at WSU when Gardner was there)

I have not told him about the upcoming event.  He loves snow!
