Downtown Corvallis and Albany dropping below freezing. Tangent & Lebanon getting close. 

31.1 at my house, with light sleet

Avoids keeping us sleet for long and gives PDX 0.8" of QPF, with 7.5" of snow with 10:1 ratios. I think at face value the UKMET would be a 10-15" snowstorm with those temps

Someone on Facebook today said the UKMET can’t differentiate precip types. So that might be sleet and ZR too but I hope it’s snow!

And the UKMET delivers! Increased precipitation from the 12z run.

 

 

I think that makes the GFS the driest model now with 0.60 in. 

This thing should be plenty juicy. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Junction City down into the 30s.

[FroYoBro]

Down to 22 here. Should make it to 19 by midnight.

Probably doesn't mean too much but whatever weather.com uses is now showing 8-12" here tomorrow, with some brief sleet during the afternoon.

21.4F 

14.4F DP

I always thought it used IBM (so maybe graf?). That’s doesn’t line up though

[Frontal Snowsquall]

And UKMET also showing a system arrive Tuesday evening with freezing temperatures. Good agreement between the models for next week.

It looks like many areas around the sound bottomed out already and are slowly rising. Temp up to 15 from 12. 

[Phishy Wx]

been stuck at -6 for an hour but DP has dropped to -19

Time to quit looking at models. The low is starting to blow up on the satellite imagery. It looks very good out there

Temperatures are slightly rising here, too. Up to 10.4 now from 9.9 a little earlier. I have written it down to wind.

Nothing has happened yet, but I don't think Randy approached things appropriately for his backyard this go around.

In all seriousness though, I do believe there will be an extension of moisture further north than modeled and a couple inches of snow is a good possibility from here to about Olympia maybe Tacoma.

That's because Ma Nature is doing her best to bring that precip further north tomorrow, faith brother, faith!!

@Phil

If I recall correctly, a while back you said that February is a write off for PNW cold. However, do you still think so or has your opinion changed since we are now expecting another SSW event?

[Blizzard777]

Stuck at 17.3* 

My whisky barrel falls is freezing over nicely….should look pretty tomorrow. Consolation prize

We had a funeral for my godfather today and had to be outside at times for long periods. Even with the bone chilling cold, it was more bearable than that heatwave. 

Sorry to hear about the passing of your godfather.  One of my brothers passed away in September in South Georgia, so I had the opposite problem....wearing a black suit and tie in 95-98 temps was absolutely brutal.

 

On the topic of the cold being more bearable, I always like to say "you can add layers to keep warm in the cold, but when it's hot, there is only so much nakedness you can achieve before the neighbors call the cops on you"

What a great feeling when a storm is tracking in on your location!  Sad panda I’m sitting this one out

He will just say that if the SSW happens it will be east focused.

10.4˚F here.

6.3 here, it was 6.0 a little while ago but I guess a cow fart from Lynden is blowing past my temp sensor.

I thought I would give everyone a better view. As @GHweatherChris would say "isn't she dreamy"

I think once the wind slacks out we could drop like a rock early tomorrow morning. 

[MossMan]

10.9

[snow_wizard]

Down to 15 here now.  The coldest I've seen it here with wind.

[Snownerd3000]

Not expecting snow at my house tomorrow, I need to live vicariously through this forum. Share your snow vids and pics please and thanks! 

[SouthHillFrosty]

Boom! 

[Cascadia_Wx]

Down to 20 here, with the east breeze picking up a bit.

Are earthquakes supposed to sound like airstrikes?

Yes, and from what I have read/heard, the really big ones can give off a flash of light.
