[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Only 61 here today much better than I expected,  hopefully we can stay in the mid 60’s at most out here tomorrow.

Gfs run should be better for chilly trough. An actual base on the ridge this run.

Much warmer Tuesday... and stays reasonably mild the rest of the week.   GEM shows the breakdown from the west now as well and is warmer later in the week than previous runs that showed cold air coming down from the north.

GEM not updating on WB... but big shift late in the week over last 3 runs.

[MossMan]

57/35 on the day. Currently 42. 
Was a lovely evening down at the Everett waterfront during my wife and I’s first date night in about 2yrs!

Looks like 18z euro AI went that direction too

Not a bad GFS run.

Is that your own trout pond?  Pretty cool!

I stock them in October. Hoping one year I get the right temp/water level combo for most them to survive through the year

[Anti Marine Layer]

I hope Jesse's air conditioner is working. 

[TT-SEA]

Can only see GEM on CONUS map on Tropical Tidbits... but it looks completely different than previous runs for next weekend.  Much drier and warmer.   GFS not on board though.   Models are all over the place.

Yes, some mixing today. Nice fair weather breeze. Probably upper 30s tonight, the ridges will stay around 50 if they keep the wind. 

Just a short night away with my wife. First night together without the kids since my son was born 2 years ago. Washington isn’t very far from here. No further to Mt St Helen’s or Mt Adams than it is to Bend.

Lots of lowland rain and mountain snow on GFS. 

Interestingly... its also still showing insane snow for parts for the Midwest after basically no winter there this year.   

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Looking more and more likely to see one last small snow event out here before spring really starts.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Gfs is showing snow out here later in the month.

Ha! March 15th must make for a great date night after 2yrs! 

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

31 currently, 24/55 day. Should be able to get a low around 16-22 tonight, with a high around 60 tommorow. Was a pretty nice day at Mt Bachelor despite the sh1t snow conditions, got to soak in the great views on my lunch break.

Will probably try to climb Mt st helens tommorow, always a nice day hike this time of year. Probably will get turned around by bad Avalanche conditions but there's a chance it'll be safe enough.

[TT-SEA]

Frogs going crazy here too.   First time I have really heard them since February.   Looks like our cold spell didn't bother them... they just go back into hibernation and wait it out.

I think Andrew's wife is dating Mossman , or maybe Andrew is the one dating mossman! 

Andrews 1st night away from his wife in 2 years, mossmans first date with his wife in 2 years. Coincidence? I think not! Andrew is clearly doing drag, to date mossman and "pretend" to be his wife,

Interesting how Ai euro caught onto changes  early. Compared to regular euro.

Topped out at 62 here today, beautiful day!

You deserve it man. You're one of the most gracious people ever.

It's still all asleep here this morning.

Because summer has arrived.

I feel sorry for the folks who feel like they can’t enjoy life unless temps are 15 degrees above average.

I can enjoy many types of weather, and the weenie-mode meltdowns from Jesse are like the cherry atop the sundae for spring warm spells.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Max of 58.6˚F yesterday, overnight low of 37.0.

Official forecast calls for a max of 68 today.

Sign me up for boring ‘ol average. 55-60 sounds great  

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Euro was chilly for next weekend. 

[westcoastexpat]

Hoping everyone enjoys this gorgeous weather this weekend! What's everyone got planned?

We've got a 30 mi bike tour planned before we hang out at the beach. And tomorrow we've got a 15 mi hike. Will still need to wear crampons up at the peak given it's at about 5000 ft, but should be a slush fest.

[TT-SEA]

12Z GFS keeps the 60+ weather going through Friday now.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Such a blessing to see overnight lows well into the 30s for virtually all of the Willamette Valley.

Perfection! However my phone app is on team chilly after Tuesday.

Jury is still out but the trend is your friend right now.  

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Really happy to see the young lady doing the weather on FOX12+ say "Don't worry, rain is in the forecast."

I hope everyone enjoys this gorgeous, mild, but not record breaking warmth this weekend. The nice thing is these big temp spreads. This is something out of the 1950s.

He makes it sooooo hard not to cheer against him with his moral grandstanding crap and telling everyone where they should live.  I can't help enjoying when he is whining and complaining.  

[Cascadia_Wx]

Nice morning. Wind died off enough for it to fall to 42 here. Already up to a mild 55 with the wind picking back up, though. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

[TT-SEA]

GFS is still rainy next weekend... but mild rain with temps in the 50s.    Then cooler Monday as the trough moves inland.

10-day snow totals look to favor Oregon Cascades.   Most of what is shown in WA Cascades does not come until day 9 and 10.  

[TT-SEA]

10-day snow totals per the 12Z GEM are less impressive.  

[TT-SEA]

12Z GFS spreads snow across most of the northern US over the next 10 days.

When I was up in Packwood and at White Pass the other day I was surprised about how there was pretty much no snow below 3000' or so. Been a tough year up north.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

GFS is such a blessing. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Even the GEM is setting up beautifully at day 10. The GEM also gave me 0-1" with the most recent event and we had 28", so I would take their snow maps with a grain of poop.

So type 1 poop?
