What are the chances of some surprise moisture up here in the Bellingham area  Temp has been dropping the past couple of hours, bouncing between 35-36 now....Looks like there were some very small showers off to the west of Vancouver but they have dissipated over the last hour or 2

[TigerWoodsLibido]

18z GEFS Day 10-16 GIF. I know it's the Drunk Uncle, or rather an average of 30 various Drunk Uncles doing Drunk Uncle things, but this is about the best the ensembles have looked yet. Maybe? C'MON!!!!

 

 

Gorgeous, old school pattern right there. Such a rarity in this west-Pacific warm pool dominated era.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Continues to look good! 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

42F DP 39F in Tangent so a bit cooler. Wind about 6mph from S.

[Omegaraptor]

 

I like where this is going end-run.

This is just a nice way of saying it probably won’t verify because the globe is so warm right now, right? 

[Jesse]

Down to 36 here as the precip is ending. VERY positive splat test.

That is a stupidly strong signal for that far out. Reminds me of the Euro weeklies...

[El_Nina]

Down to 35 and back to all rain. Picked up 0.97" precip today, was also nice to see the first flakes of the season tonight. 

[Timmy Supercell]

NWS was estimating 1" through 10am tomorrow at my place. I already have more than that.

They usually do pretty decent with snow forecasts, I'll cut them some slack.

[umadbro]

About a 1000' snow level tonight.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Long range GEFFS is really good. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Happy for everybody seeing snow and splats tonight.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Pretty heavy rain now. Man we need it bad.

[Gradient Keeper]

6:28 PM Near west Gresham, current temp 37.7 with a positive splat test!

Good start to winter so far.  My call for 11/20/2020 worked out and the surprise wet snow today leaves me optimistic!!

A glimmer of something? Long Range 18z GEFS trying to go places. C'MON!!!!

The last couple of operational runs have looked better too.  Maybe something is trying to come together.

That's the spirit! Models can't forecast accurately for **** after just 3 days. Blocking is coming!

00z ECMWF in 2 hours 39 minutes

[snow_wizard]

Already down to 35 under clear skies this evening.  Going to be a legit cold night.

[Dave]

I was going to say....the ECMWF weeklies were the best yet yesterday.  A really solid signal in January.

I was reading that Cyberpunk ended up being a POS on console, glad I didn't buy it, I assume you have it for PC which is getting rave reviews.

34 degrees.

[MossMan]

I’m thinking we need to go bigger than 1950...We need some massive super long lasting 1800’s type cold/snow!! 

[Timmy Supercell]

Measuring 2" in multiple spots, 2.5" in others. Snow still coming down.

If I'm up at midnight I'll take a couple pictures.

The 18z GFS was significantly chillier than the 12z run for Christmas morning.

Big changes are coming in the models  in the next few days 

With a pattern of this significance it usually catches every one by surprise quickly latching on within 3-7 day of verification 

cold and snow are coming ! maybe even a white Christmas for some ,maybe for all us weather weenies
