February 2024 Weather in the PNW

[Christensen87]

Beautiful day in my new home, Cashmere. 59° too, neighbors saying it’s been a very odd winter. Thanks El Niño! Definitely looking forward to next winter  

[snow_wizard]

I'm pretty skeptical that King county c-zone shown on the GFS tonight would be snow, but it shows 925mb temps dropping to -3 so it's possible.  The 12z ECMWF was not on board.

I just saw it's upper 50s over there.  I think you're going to like it there.  The one thing I like more about the Kittitas Valley is it has way cooler summers than the Wenatchee Valley, but other than that a lot of similarities.

@snow_wizard, this must be what you’re always referring to when you insist people are triggered when they aren’t identified how they prefer? The irony… 

Blustery and wet here today, 1.85” today but only 6.04” this month.

The GFS shows snow on the back edge of the AR Wednesday night.  That has been known to happen from time to time.  Could be a close call.

I'm sure the original comment containing "bro" had no ill-intent behind it. I've more often than not seen it used in friendly banter. It's not the most professional way to address someone but it was a pretty common phrase at one point in time.

Y’all unhinged af.

Correcting someone and using bro though, and being pessimistic. Guy is annoying.

Went down to Chambers Bay to check out the wave action.

Snow in King county will probably have to wait until after 10pm when 925's drop below freezing. 51F and partly sunny here. Big frontal passage just to the NNW.

39.9 here now! 

[MWG]

Another beautiful 63F day, glad we were able to get a nice walk before the incoming storms! WSW for above 2500'. We have a chance of mix precipitation but it's late at night. 

[Meatyorologist]

Looking west, this wall of doom is showing up as nothing from KATX, not even on the higher bands. If it's gonna storm it's about to do so without warning.

Currently at 60% of normal precip and 25% snowfall. Somehow South lake Tahoe is the driest city in Califronia PON so far. But the Gfs is showing 100" of snow here in the next 10 days so maybe we will catch up. Current snowpack pic

Looks nice there, enjoy the sun while it lasts, you'll have snow in no time!

[Slushy Inch]

18z euro does have pscz in a similar location to gfs tonight. Though weaker and more progressive.

Let’s do this 

[the_convergence_zone]

Just got back from a trip up to Snoqualmie Pass…dumping rain up there with a mix right at the summit. Maybe a slushy half inch on the ground. That’s about 8-12” short of what the global models were predicting by 4 pm today! Amazing how many people ski in that garbage although maybe the upper mountain was better.

My understanding was that heavy snow was supposed to be from evening to tomorrow morning.

It’s switched to snow now. Will definitely be a snowy night there 

[MossMan]

Getting quite windy now, power just went out for a few seconds but came back on.

Yeah definitely going to dump now through tomorrow but the snow level was unfortunately too high prior to the frontal passage.

Not yet... its still an ugly mess up there.

Arctic front has arrived.  Down to 41 after a high of 52. 

[MossMan]

Down to 38.8

Our snow is garbage and so are our average summers. Maybe we could take some tips from Michigan as to prime skiing and ideal weather conditions.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

It has started to rain. Mountains are gonna get rocked with some very nice snow soon.

You're joking, right? Sure we don't have good powder (except a handful of days a year), but our terrain is infinitely better than Michigan, and the summers in the PNW are almost perfect, except except the lack of thunderstorms.

37 here. Gusting to 40 mph

HR3 is the only believer in snow for me tonight.

He was joking 

On a side note I always thought Mount Daniel would be an awesome location for a ski resort. It would probably rival Whistler for a top ski destination in North America if developed. Much higher elevation than the pass and dryer snow. Glad it ain’t happening but fun to think about.
