I am traveling to Portland to start a new job at intel as an engineer and traveling on march 2nd, it looks like temperatures are marginal and above freezing. Will I encounter trouble on the roads?

Nah, it should be fine here.

Mix at home currently.

Cascadia having a hard time coping with Team Warmth 

Warmth needs a team like Elon Musk needs food stamps.

[Eugene-5SW]

1.03" on the day, 1.27" storm total, 4.51" on the month, 24.06" on the water year.

Snowflakes mixed in with the heavier showers. Looks like a sunbreak is on the way. All good stuff!

Congrats on the new position though!

39F and mostly cloudy. Rain has lightened up and looks like we could be dry for a lil bit.

Congrats! Get me hired too, lol!

Raining and windy here now... some wet snowflakes mix down with the stronger gusts.

18z is pretty lame around Puget Sound for the next 48 hours. Not much organized precip during the night tonight and tomorrow night's storm stays well offshore keeping things pretty dry then too. Would have loved to see this guy push inland because a 983mb meandering low like that could bring fun surprises in the right spot, but not looking likely. Bummer.

 

I warned folks it could be rough up there the next few days. Trust me. Jealousy is real.

Not really a c-zone... its a band of precip that wraps around the trough coming up from the south.   But impressive amounts for sure.

Oh probably. At least for a bit. It is still a strong albeit slightly fading Nino. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see more low elevation snow later in March if we follow the 1966 script.

Just had a brief heavy rain mixed with snow shower here.

Looks fine to me, under a advisory. Not much more to ask for in March. don't care what the model shows when i look at the sat loop i can see moisture is plentiful. 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Temp down to 34.4. The last shower ended with a little dusting on the bushes. The radar is looking good. 

[MossMan]

Every single time!!

[fubario]

Big fat flakes coming down here in Oly.

[snow_wizard]

I'm a bit mystified why the GFS appears to be showing a shadow over the Puget Sound region over the next couple of days.  We're not being blocked by anything right now and there are no drying east winds.  Seems suspect.

Warmest part of the day too.  Good news!

Cold upwelling just started along the South America and Central America Coast.  In a couple of days the demise of El Nino will be going strong.  We still have the cold blob just under the surface further west as well.

[snow_wizard]

OLM down to 34.  Color me impressed!

[Phishy Wx]

Cascadia did you get any SNOW today???

[DeepFriedEgg]

Hot box PDX with the 54/39 so far today.

[T-Town]

Just splatty rain here so far but this looks promising.

Highly depends on where in the area you’re moving to and if we actually get anything. 

[ShawniganLake]

I see tidbits has picked up some of the Euro AI models.  Nice to see it picking up on the big snowstorm heading for areas near and north of the border early next week.  People need to be prepared.

Had a few random hail showers pass through this afternoon

Maybe that low it spins up and slides north off the coast tomorrow serves to weaken the onshore flow.  Environment Canada is forecasting strong SE winds across southern Vancouver Island tomorrow, which isn’t typical of a cold onshore flow pattern.

The fv3 looks better than the gfs

[snow_wizard]

A boat load of freezing mins coming up if the GFS is correct.

I forgot all about that model.  Where can I view it?  Don't see it on Weatherbell.

[Cascadia_Wx]

Heavy rain snow mix moving through here. Would probably be all snow if this was night time. Temp is down to 37 after a chilly afternoon high of only 42 so far. Too bad those stupid midnight highs earlier will mess up the official numbers.
