The snow maps are wrong, they show very little IMBY, throw them out, let's try again tomorrow.

I’m right there with you…I think they will improve for us tomorrow!

@Cascadia_Wx I know this comment is just feeding you, but why do you give everything I post a negative reaction. I can understand when someone posts something about warmth you'll post the sad reaction, and although I don't agree with it, it atleast makes sense. But now if I just post a snow map, or ask someone how often they get a blizzard, etc etc, you'll give me a weenie reaction. It makes no sense. I know the reactions don't affect me, I don't really care about them, just I'm curious if for some reason you have beef with me no matter what I post, and why is that.

He does this to a lot of people. He just enjoys being a pest. Best to ignore him.

Don't trigger Tim please with these types of comments.  Also, if the react emojis don't really affect you, what is the point of this post?   No emotes should ever affect anyone enough to say anything.

Total snow combining the Thursday night and Friday night events. Fascinating cutoff between the West and East side of Puget Sound. Can't say I've ever seen that happen before.

 

I’m in the pink!

One extra day of meteorological winter this year.

Kinda think at this point that you gotta throw out anything that shows only 19" in Newport.

[the_convergence_zone]

It’s too bad the Euro doesn’t agree with the UW-WRF on that beautiful low track with an Astoria landfall. 

Friday AM seems like a safer bet for snowfall down to sea level in the Seattle area. 

I’m getting excited but it could still all blow up and be a nothing burger for me. Lots of folks on here should score something though. 

[Cold Snap]

Had a low of 29 this morning and managed to get a sub-40 high yesterday with a high of 39.

[Cascadia_Wx]

46/34 day here so far. Kinda blah with light showers at times and breezy SW winds with slowly rising temps all afternoon and evening. Not a huge fan of these warm fronts that lack offshore flow ahead of them. Hopefully the next round of troughing is a little more dynamic, but we’ve still got to get through another day of overachieving temps tomorrow. I’ll say 55 at the absolute coolest for PDX.

I think it's pretty obvious that almost none of the models get the coast.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Should be a solid period coming up. I’d be shocked if many places below 500’ see snow. 

[Slushy Inch]

Nice trough later on too. Wow

Best short range hi-res snow map I've seen for MBY since basically Feb 2021. it in.

That looks like a big overrunning event Monday night on euro

Yeah, nothing really revving my engine. Gonna be tough to get below 34 with any of the precip coming up. Just too marginal an airmass. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

That’s a new wrinkle.

I swear they changed some parameter that completely messed that up. It never used to throw out massive foot+ snowstorms for the Coast and lowlands but now that happens regularly when nothing close to that has any chance of happening. 

I wonder if they adjusted some boundary layer issues in an attempt to improve snow forecasts in continental climates but it messed up snow forecasts here near the Coast. Seems especially egregious in cold onshore flow patterns like this where the models just assumed nearly all precip in the mid-upper 30's will fall as accumulating snow.

You live in SunRiver.  You deserve a weenie tag by @Cascadia_Wx

Had 5 or 6 different days with snow in the air but only about 0.3" total accumulation.

Expect this stretch will be similar.

Fair. I guess I'm spoiled, I want more than 2 feet out of this. When you work at a ski resort that regularly sees large snowfalls, you start getting disappointed by a few inches back home, I need large snowstorms for true satisfaction. (I'm not saying that I don't enjoy a few inches, I still do but not as much as yall)

About 40" for me, LOCK THIS RUN IN !!

Now this would be exciting. Almost a foot of snow in March? I give it about a zero chance of happening.

This might be the strongest signal I’ve ever seen this far out on CanSips

December 2024-Jan 2025 record cold and snowy period. We're gonna need everyone else in the country to dig our a**'s out of the snow and give us food. Every river will freeze, the Puget Sound will ice over, and we're gonna have the whitest Christmas ever (excluding a racist albino family's christmas, can't get whiter than that)

 

And then we get a summer 10 degrees warmer than the record warmest summer.
