Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Up to 33˚F. Starting to get the feeling this may bust here. About half the models are saying cold rain at this point anyhow.

I have a feeling it's gonna take a drive to north lake Samish for us to see anything around here. I hope I'm wrong though.

Surface temps don’t dictate p-type y’all.

Calculate your wet bulb temp and pull up a sounding.

There is a observation 10 miles west of me and 2300ft on the outer edge of the Olympics that I use to get a idea of air mass and it is very accurate.  It's 30 degrees there and I've never not had snow here when that observation was 32 or lower.  We'll see what happens tonight but I do expect to start at a mix and transition to snow.

The GFS and parallel are both gung ho on a major reset of the block in early February.  This is undoubtedly in response to the big West Pacific MJO wave.  Right now it looks below normal for the entire next two weeks with good prospects for much below normal beginning somewhere in the 10 to 15 day period.

Euro time! Who's pumped for a really good run!

I like the way things are trending right now.  The GFS is really liking the idea of some pretty legit cold around day 10 in addition to the moderate cold up until then.

Oh we finally have tropical forcing on our side? That could be the missing piece. Here we go!!!!

Sure not seeing that on the ensembles but sounds good to me.

One thing I certainly like about tonight's GFS run is it shows the surface low tracking inland over SW WA tomorrow instead of NW WA or SW BC.  It shows very limited moisture though.

Certainly a bunch of snow chances in the coming week.

We sure do.  The models had been advertising a favorable MJO wave to emerge at the very end of the month, but it emerged much sooner than had been expected.

The 18z and 0z showed some Canadian cold air arriving at day 10 on both the regular and parallel GFS models.

GFS showed chances for Tues/Wed then again for Thur/Fri. Certainly some chances coming up. I'll be happy to see some flakes flying even if accumulations are limited.

I’m going to nuke NC if they steal another snowstorm from me. Would rather suffer thru warm rain than get missed to the south.
