bainbridgekid Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Cold air makes a beeline from the Bering Sea West of Alaska straight to us on the 00z. This would be a very unusual setup but anything is possible with a gargantuan block like that. Would definitely be more maritime polar air coming from that direction but what's shown is pretty nutty. About as cold onshore flow as is possible around here. 2 Quote Everett Snowfall (510 feet elevation) Snow since February 2019: 91" 2023-24: 6" 2022-23: 17.5" 2021-22: 17.75" 2020-21: 14.5” 2019-20: 10.5" 2018-19: 24.75" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatyorologist Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I think that given the lack high latitude blocking on this one, it'll be a more frigid maritime pattern, but it's still something fun to look at. A San Francisco highlands snowfall type of pattern. PSCZ convective accumulations during the night, highs in the thirties. Much like January 2012. 2 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatyorologist Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 No, it's not arctic, but if you handed me a button saying, "If you press this, the 00z will verify, and if you don't, it's up to chance," I'd press it in a heartbeat. It's not arctic, but it's not warm, either, and would likely give everyone a shot at some point. And looking at these further frames coming in, I think it sets us up nicely for a more lucrative second try, as heights more readily build into AK and a cold pool firmly entrenches itself into western Canada. *edit: nvm the AL reigns supreme, and our precious block is halted at US customs in Anchorage. Still not a bad pattern by any means. 2 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmet Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 We don't need an Arctic plunge to get snow. The GFS 00z was great. We lost the west-based negative NAO to an east-based negative NAO which is better because this shifts the trough axis further west and favors anomalously higher heights over the GOA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatyorologist Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 This GIF really shows the disparity between the two model groups. Notice the core ridge propagating westward. That is the first cluster. Next, look at the heights over the Bering Sea migrating northward. That is the second cluster, showing a more blocky solution. The latter, blockier solution would be more efficient with driving Canadian Arctic cold into the PNW, whereas the former cluster would still cool things down, but not as much. Both provide snowfall chances, but in order to get a true Arctic blast, we'll need some help up in AK. Thankfully, the mean shows higher than normal heights over AK, so chances are greater than not that we'll see some high latitude blocking. And even with the more "onshore" solution, there's still vodka cold just across the border.

That's a tall order, but you're right in the sense that a -NAO could be good for us. Largely, a -NAO isn't the boogeyman it's set up to be for us around here. It's only a problem when proper blocking doesn't set up over AK and that -NAO sends a Canadian express TPV into AK. In any sense, it's ultimately a -PDO and AK blocking that really drives our patterns.

snow_wizard Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 The pattern being shown obviously sets up a high chance of a low pressure system tracking inland far enough south to nail some of us or maybe all of us with some snow. Maybe a colder version of Jan 2008 which could be quite awesome. I still think the -NAO will give us some insurance for true cold though. FWIW the GFS meteograms spit out a 32 / 27 day late in the run. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!
