End of the past few GFS runs have that spooky "oh something is going to happen" feel. Cold building in Alaska, over and over and over again.

I miss the "Siberian Express" cold blasts that we got in the 80's. Straight from Siberia, right through Alaska, and down to the PNW. Those were memorable. Cold in Alaska can be good for us as well.

I have a feeling Shari’s in Winthrop will need a much longer measuring device this season!

I would expect them to get higher than normal snowfall this year, but Winthrop actually doesn't get as much snow as you would think.  Only because it is fairly dry there.  But it is cold enough where the snow accumulates more there than other areas that actually get more snow. Mazama, about 20 minutes away, gets about 50% more snow than Winthrop.  I get more snow than Winthrop, but also a bit more winter rain too.  Definitely the quality of snow in Winthrop is really good.

Up to 45F in Springfield so we might hit 50F again. Will still finish with a respectable, possible double-digit negative departure tho.

I have not even been paying attention to the models for the last week given all the other news happening.   And I have not been posting on the weather side much.   And of course I am big fan of colder air aloft during the cold season.   Warm just means very wet.  I don't see anything crazy on the EPS.    There is not much to report.   But hey... Jesse wants to stir it up... no surprise there!   The last frame of the EPS today at 15 days out is why I have not been posting about it for a weeks.  Makes sense.

Just checked and Winthrop gets about 70"/year of snow. Snowy, but not insanely so. Annual precip is only 14"/year.

18z GFS is further South with Friday night's windstorm and brings the low across the tip of the Olympic Peninsula and through about Skagit County. Would be a big windstorm for the Seattle area.

If it keeps trending south perhaps a windstorm could be replaced by a snowstorm! (If there was enough cold air to draw down)

Yes.  Still way more than most people though.  I get more than that, but would trade the extra 24 inches I get for colder weather and more consistent snow quality.  No wonder why that area has such great cross country skiing.

Jay Albrecet, AKA JAYA in our forums, has some good tweets about the possibility of coastal flooding in WA.

4. Importantly, let's look at tides. Tides at Westport on Saturday morning are as high as they are all November! #wawx #orwx #flooding

5. What causes salt water flooding on the coast? Combination of 1) Low atmospheric pressure, 2) tides, 3) Ekman transport and 4) wave setup. When they align, watch out! It is still too early to call, but be watching closely! #wawx #orwx #flooding

Ekman transport. Sounds like something Phil would make up.

I thought that everyone knew that Ekman transport is the net motion of fluid as the result of a balance between Coriolis and turbulent drag forces.

Actually, I looked it up, quite complicated, but apparently it leads to upwelling.
