January 2024 Weather in the PNW (Part II)

[Doinko]

Lot of school districts around here have decided to release early tomorrow

[Meatyorologist]

32F now. Won't hit that again until Monday or Tuesday.

Yeah... don't think front is stalled because temps are crashing.  

Its past Renton now

[lowlandsnow]

Will the c-zone move south?

I have no idea what Tim was blabbing on about earlier, this is way juicier than predicted. Even driving around Everett it was remarkable how moist everything looked, even north of the sfc front.

I am just showing the models.   I have repeatedly doubted them.    Lets see how many inches of snow falls in the Seattle area tonight.

my God, this forum has devolved into the worst of the worst. It's always emotional and reactionary in here, but it seems that the rational and seasoned members have pulled back to make way for the kids.

I'm going to step back for the day too. It's just too much uninformed nonsense.

I am excited for a lot of you guys, because it seems like this is your first time tracking a PNW winter storm. I remember my first time.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. TURD!!

How much is on the ground? I feel like I'm right on the south edge of the band in south Lynnwood, bc it keeps bouncing between heavy and light

I must be super close to you!

The GFS is still snowy for PDX. The 18z output shows 13.3” snow and then some ice on Wednesday as moisture arrives. Still offshore flow all the way out to next weekend.

Oops, I thought it was the other one not the GFS. Sorry.

Yeah... the c-zone moving south and now south of I-90 is the arctic front.

I don't think you have the right run. I just got this off Mark Nelsen website. 

That's the GRAF, he posted the GFS

Right now that front is stalled. The models are WAY wrong with this hahahahaha.

Btw the front itself is not stalled but that huge area of convergence is.

[the_convergence_zone]

I was skeptical of this CZ, it's over-performing big time. Great to see. 

My expectation of 0 for my location is also correct so far, unfortunately. West Seattle does not do well in strong CZs. 

[RayRay]

35 degrees and no snow here.

I too need this to drop south just a touch.  Then it can stall there over night and give me a foot of CZ snow.

Probably, I'm on 200th

[TT-SEA]

Not sure that Everett c-zone is going to actually move south.   I think that might be related to outflow hitting the north side of the Olympics.

High back down to 20 on Monday on this run. Sort of interesting.

Crazy strong subsidence with the rapidly warming air aloft. The inversion to end all inversions.

[MikeInEverett]

Starting to stick to roads

[RentonHill]

You can see the little pulse of radar returns pushing straight south towards federal way on this…I think that’s the front

It looks like the Vancouver Island CZ, with the other one in the I-90 corridor being the standard Olympic Mountains one.

Yeah it’s not budging in either direction. Reminds of the CZ in Jan 2020. That brought 3-5” to the whole CZ area

[TacomaWx]

Tying to get home but stuck on tiger mountain. Snow came through fast and hard here! 

[Cold Snap]

About to head out to the meetup. Might be a little late due to traffic.

[TT-SEA]

Very slight southward shift on 18Z ECMWF for Saturday.  

[Timmy]

@TT-SEA do you have euro snow maps?

[jcmcgaffey]

It will drop south a little as the flow changes but will also fizzle out.

I feel like this one will fizzle out a bit sooner than that though. I hope I’m wrong. 

[Winterdog]

At least I’m not alone in getting stiffed, I’ve got Mossman right here with me

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Got a quick 1.2" inside an hour. Not as good as getting a big dump, but fun while it lasted and beats getting completely skunked. Call it s consolation snowfall.

[SouthHillFrosty]

Got the sunglasses out!

Could you post a zoomed in version?

[Phil]

Congrats to those under that area of low level convergence. Also some sea effect/enhanced precip to the NW.

 

[TT-SEA]

About half an inch of graupel here.   Very light snow now.

It’s already started to fizzle and shrink on the south side where I am

[Phil]

My family in Everett says snow accumulating on roads.
