Was in Sun Lakes taking advantage of the big rollers that day, came home the next day to a mess and no power.

BLI snowman Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Looks like EUG officially measured 0.7" of snow on Saturday. Of course this was actually sleet, but at least nice to see them recording snowfall there. They are the only airport in Western OR and Western WA besides SEA, PDX, and MFR that still does. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frontal Snowsquall Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 NWS Portland thinking the airmass will be cold enough to support 1 inch of snow, I hope they are right!

Andstorm Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 44 minutes ago, SilverFallsAndrew said: As Jim pointed out, last nights CFS was interesting. Basically a two week period of chilly to cold weather at the end of January to about February 10th. Then everything shifts east late in February. Seems unique to CFS at this point but interesting to monitor nonetheless. GFS showed a cooling trend in 18z last night but it disappeared in today’s ensembles. I’m pretty skeptical but would sure be something to see another cold trough in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to remember a time where it's been this cold for so long in WW and not have some sort of snow/freezing rain to rain transition. The lack of at least nws advisories is pretty surprising, especially in the Snohomish/north king counties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubus Leucodermis Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Those amounts will probably bust (too low). Quote SNOWFALL WARNING 4:45 AM PST Tuesday 16 January 2024 A snow storm is expected to arrive tonight. When: Tonight to Wednesday afternoon or early evening. Where: Metro Vancouver, Fraser Valley- west including Abbotsford, Greater Victoria, Howe Sound, Whistler, Sunshine Coast, Southern Gulf Islands, East Vancouver Island, Inland Vancouver Island, Sea to Sky - Squamish to Whistler, Malahat Highway - Goldstream to Mill Bay. Snowfall accumulations: Approximately 10 to 20 cm on the mainland side and southern Sunshine Coast and 10 cm for the Vancouver Island side and northern Sunshine Coast. Remarks: A Pacific low pressure system is expected to bring widespread snow to the south coast tonight into Wednesday. Snow may become mixed with rain over Greater Victoria on Wednesday afternoon before easing late in the afternoon or early evening. In addition, there is a risk of freezing rain tonight in southern sections near the United States border. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions.
