Posted by SeanNyberg,

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.

It would be cool if PDX or another location in Metro could pull off a sub 20 high during this next week.

Very good shot on Saturday I think.  This air mass is a beast.

Sounds like there was a rollover accident near where my spouse had hers, just west of Alpowa Summit. Can't imagine anyone driving even in town during that squall we had. Had another ambulance rush off that way. We always hold our breath when we see ambulance flashing going that way because we live on the east end of town and it's usually an accident in that area or on the other side of the crest.

Is that how it works? Thought it just meant it was somewhat convective 

Yes.  The convective nature suggests it will get heavier.  This how Nov 2010 started out.  This won't get to that level of course.

This new snow band is having a hard time overcoming the dry air. I have radar returns over me and nothing is falling out of the sky. 

Turn your street lights off and back on again to make sure they are working properly.

The convective updrafts also are responsible for the supercooled water that is creating the rimed particles.

Wow took 90 minutes to get off of tiger mountain. Snowed very hard and the road froze instantly with the front passage. Many semi’s and cars spinning out was wild. Just got home…not snowing yet here but looks promising!

There can also be more of a delay with drier snow, as it can take a bit to actually hit the ground.

Had to take a break and play oculus golf as I was depressed with the future cast radar.  I’m back in the real world now.

Starting to fill in over here, the heavy snow band Is only 2 miles north of me! So Rare to see a convergence zone here. First time in 17 years

Yeah, looks like Poulsbo area getting lit up.

Moisture is filling in nicely.

I hadn’t looked at the forum or anything since being stuck up there for awhile… I’m so happy to see the radar now that I’m home and finally checking on the weather stuff!

Based on the radar you would think my area should be getting pounded again but the snow is very light.   Not the same as it was during the arctic front c-zone.   Also... the snowflakes are being blown by a north wind which is very rare here.  We are almost always blocked from a north wind.   I think that speaks to the power of the cold air mass coming in.

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      I'm rooting for a huge ridge to be sitting over alaska for most of our Denali climb, May 12th(weather permitting)-the end of the month/start of June. When I did my first Denali expedition back in the early 90s, we got horrible weather for almost the entire 3 week expedition, at one point temperatures were -39F with 80+MPH winds and heavy snow, and we never got a good day of weather to summit Denali, which is why I'm going back with the hope of being successful this time. I do NOT want to experience horrible weather like that again.

      April 24-29 Multi Day Central and Southern Plains Severe Weather Outbreak

      There's some big supercells in SE Kansas moving right toward me and its very thick outside with a temp of 76. Really hope I just get the rain but I think it's going to come with some wind and hail.

      Polite Politics

      No, I am being serious. What has gotten into you? I have never taunted you. I have never been mean to you. You have always been polite so I respond in kind, even if I do not agree with some of your points. I genuinely found it funny you responded to my benign post thrice. So I am now befuddled. Because I pointed out that even though a lot of people might say they are sick of partisan politics, they still partake and fall for the common traps to get them to further the cycle, you say: - I love to taunt and that's all I do here - People like me make you want to leave - I piss in the punch bowl and come back for seconds I'm sorry, but that's total bullsh*t. I do not know your friends. I was not insinuating that your friends do that. I was pointing out the bigger picture. Does the fact that I speak my mind bother you? I don't mince words, and I do not take crap from rude, ignorant people. I have never found you to fall into that category, so what gives, Andie?

      April 24-29 Multi Day Central and Southern Plains Severe Weather Outbreak

      Getting a nice steady generous rain here after some thunderstorms rolled through earlier this afternoon… finally passed the 1 inch mark for storm total rainfall earlier. Looks like the heavy swath of convection to the south (in KS/ MO) might eat away at our heavy rain/ thunderstorm potential for tonight… however I am really enjoying this soaking rainfall right now without the destruction from yesterday’s storms.
