February 2026 Weather in the PNW

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Maybe we catch a Hail Mary?

[Edmonds Husky]

No snow to start February this year… but a veil of fog hangs over the Ravenna creek valley and U Village 

[FroYoBro]

It would be fun to see a snowflake this month.

One year ago today winter began. Looking a little behind schedule this year.

And things were so much simpler 17yrs ago.

A solid -2.3F departure for Eugene in January. -1.4 at Salem. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

These model runs really start to deliver the GOODS by mid month. 

[Issaquah alps]

One year ago my front yard was looking pretty good!

February 

[SnowWillarrive]

 

Snowing at Stevens, Crystal etc. at least

 

 

[BLI snowman]

Picked up 0.41" overnight, most of which came in an hour.

Heavier rainfall rates than anything we saw in January. Winning already!

I stopped looking at the models several weeks ago but I know when you start liking the models it means a cold onshore flow which is nothing but cold rain for the rest of us lowlanders.

Tesla got into a snow berm on Stevens !

Post frontal cz Slushy is also a plausible outcome

[Port Angeles Foothiller]

Ensembles start to look decent by vday, but we have had great signals at day 15 a bunch of times now. Hard to put much stock into it yet.

We can now since it’s the first official day of winter! 

[Slushy Inch]

Chilly onshore flow and wet snow in the new euro runs.

If I get snow at my house this month, I’ll send you a care package.

That brought some fun to the Fraser Valley, too

Nice Euro run.

[SnowWillarrive]

Charlotte just tied its snowfall record from 1880. 

Seattle next 

[Slushy Inch]

Definitely chilly on the Aifs ens. Probably good enough for some wet lowland snow.

[Eugene-5SW]

Nice to see some significant precip appear on the models within the 7-10 day time frame. Been an awfully long dry stretch. Now if we can just get something to verify without it falling apart as the event approaches.

Meanwhile, still in the jinx zone here. Just 0.07" on the day.

January finished at 2.42", or around 40% of normal. Water year total at 14.22", or around 60% of normal.

[Snownerd3000]

I leave for a cruise to Cabo on the 15th.  If it delivers, you're all welcome.

Tbh, I care a lot more about saving Oregon from some serious water supply problems this summer than whether we see a bit of marginal slop in the lowlands.

[Slushy Inch]

Just need a little more ridging into Alaska. Other than that it’s a great run.

We leave for Miami on 2/19 and then Caribbean cruise and then back to Miami for 5 days.  Need pattern to flip to west cold and warm east.    Let it snow here...  just don't want it to be cold for our trip.

[Omegaraptor]

Anyway, happy first day of winter, everyone!

Did you weenie me?? 

We didn't spend thousands of dollars for a Caribbean cruise to be in 35 degree weather!   Need to flip the pattern.

Saw the date (but not the year) on this pic. I looked out my window and was like...WTF is Randy smoking and can I get some brah?
