MR.SNOWMIZER Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 It looks like offshore flow is between surface and about 3k feet, that layer should cool and we might have sleet in Puget sound. At 850mb the flow is from sw so it is warmer and saturated. If the 850 flow was offshore we probably would have mostly snow. 6 Quote We come from the land of the ice and snow.

Lars43 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 8 minutes ago, Front Ranger said: Not sure, but looks like the south valley was forecasted to get .1 to .3" of freezing rain. I think a lot of people have already exceeded that. I’m sure that in part is due to them forecasting our temp to rise above freezing by 4pm. We are still at 28. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OysterPrintout Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Perhaps I didn't look closely enough due to post snow model fatigue (please see your doctor if your PSMF lasts more than 3 days) but seems like precip looks to be a little shorter lived than forecasted here.
