[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Thursday evening is starting to look really nice for Puget sound for more organized snowfall.

I've been watching that but none of the other models are showing this.

 

GFS does much better with these kinds of systems.

THE KING. But seriously yeah, I always trust the GFS with cold onshore flow. Didn't even look at any other model once we got into March last year. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

WOW.

OMG GFS FOR THE WIN!!!

The 18z had this yesterday.

I can’t believe how dead this place is. More people should be excited about Andrew’s incoming snow.

Wonderful mountain snow pattern.

Honestly there is still a pretty wide open path to me getting completely skunked this week. Unlikely, but possible. Tomorrow won't be much, despite the extreme bullishness of the NWS. We know how that works.

The pattern looked much more exciting a couple days ago.

Not really bro. At least for here.

Quick, drive up to Donner Pass in 336 hours!

The focus has shifted south, a few days ago the main nexus of the anafront was over your area.

Been a theme this winter of everything shifting south. Oregon wins again! 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Outstanding pattern at the end. We could end up with above normal snow pack heading into spring.

Things can and probably will change again for better or worse.  Just looking more like a pretty typical early spring snow shower event.  Brief accumulations that melt off during the day.  We’ve seen much better late season action in recent years.

Again? Wtf has oregon won this winter, over 2+" of sleet and zr for most of the willamete valley? I wouldn't call that winning.

12z HRRRRRRR ups the precip, reminds me a lot of Dec-25th-26th 2021 in oregon. I know the HRRR is worthless, but I do think some locations in the willamette valley will get lucky. 

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

Low of 30, and currently 35 with a breezy south wind.

Atleast up here in western WA. Will have to see how it plays out down south. February has had some really good late season events in recent years. 2018, 2019 and 2023 come to mind. When all is said and done I doubt it’ll be that memorable for most Puget sounders compared to those years.

You’ll get some this week.

Monday and Tuesday is not a good setup for the valley. I think the only somewhat realistic possibility of low valley snow is the anafront situation late Wednesday night/Thursday morning. That would still be a tough balancing act also.

There's an HRRRRRRR and an HRRR?

What about the HRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR?

I had sunny skies throughout that event except for a sloppy couple inches on the way out of that prolific cold event! A wasted cold air mass here.
But mostly I was joking as the north has scored a ton over that last 6 years! I should have added that disclaimer to that post lol.  

[Ken in Wood Village]

This is my thoughts about this pattern change. I believe we will be in a NW flow for awhile. I just wish it was a couple of months sooner. We can get into these patterns that stick around for awhile. I know we are going into La Nina later in the year from what the forecast models show but I think we could be seeing it a little sooner 🌨

Try 0 inches!

I just want my town to look wintry for at least a couple of hours before it melts . I'm realizing that besides the big snow fall of January 2017, February it is the most times it has snow here, at least since I moved in 2010.

[westcoastexpat]

Definitely looking like the best snow chances tomorrow are between Everett and Burlington based on Hi-Res models

That's better than having 70 in February, and that will be here in a few days.

[Slushy Inch]

MossMan should be happy another great run for him.

Cottage Grove, Springfield, Sweet Home, Stayton, Canby, Oregon City. That stretch tends be be quite bad because of the warm nose while areas west of I-5 can do much better in some setups.

In onshore flow events we can occasionally do better. But it’s mostly dependent on precip rates this time of year.

Sounds like you’ve done a lot better than Oregon city since 2017. Savor your position among the snowbound elite. Don’t fight it.

Still needs to shift north about 10 miles! Otherwise looking good!

Forgot Stanwood was a bit farther north.
