Would appear to be an arctic airmass moving south through eastern Washington at day 8.5 of the 12 Euro.

Yep Arctic air south of the border D9.

Nice lil’ backdoor shot...

[Jesse]

Next Saturday looks cold.

I don’t like backdoor shots. I like N/S shots! 

[BLI snowman]

I smell a warning shot.

Day 9 from 12z today vs 24 hours ago

[Fircrest]

Why do the hour 384 maps always look so good? I'm on board, someday it will happen.

Lower Solar, SSW3, Nina, -PNA, MJO 7 and many other reasons....

[Winterdog]

Nice looking.  Too bad the Euro is standing alone.

You must have missed the GEM and GFS yesterday. It's not so alone.

Nice improvement starting at D8 on the 12z Euro, especially with 850mb temps.

Hour 198! That does look good.

[paulb/eugene]

Glad you got it

[BLI snowman]

-13c 850mb temps for Portland and Seattle, -22c for Spokane. Would easily be the coldest airmass since 2013-14.

Now let’s get it inside of 48 hours  

[paulb/eugene]

Looks like Euro plans a nice snowstorm for us around Feb 9-11

[TT-SEA]

Day 9 per the 12Z ECMWF... cold and sunny.

Sorry, I'm having lots of problems figuring out this photo copy stuff on my laptop.  Anyway you get the idea

[TT-SEA]

Total snow per the 12Z ECMWF... obviously the stage is set for the good stuff beyond day 10.

 

[Timmy Supercell]

Latest pivotalweather has a less snowy beginning to February. We'll see what 00z does. Not giving up yet.

One can hope for sure. Maybe this time around? Been a long wait for something legit top-tier by modern standards anyway.

[paulb/eugene]

It’s always best to get the first blast through the front door then second blast in back door for coldest temps but best snows happen with back door blast first then front door.  Problem is that you risk having nasty ice storm instead

[bainbridgekid]

Opened up the Euro and had to do a double take because I thought I'd accidentally opened the Canadian.

As Jesus once said, 'If thou shalt have just one model on thine side, it had best be the divine Euro.'

[Kolk1604]

Lock it in boys. Too bad it looks dry

Dec 2013 being an exception.

Dec 2013 was more than top-tier for a lot of locations. I wouldn't expect something that insanely cold.
