Brett Anderson has pulled out the blue crayons again for the PNW for the second week of February onward 🥶❄️

We shall see

That is about what the EPS has been showing... no surprise there.    Looks like we are just on the western edge initially and then it moves farther away on his maps.

Yeah... I think the GFS showed something like 360 inches of snow for Lake Tahoe and they got about 36 inches instead.

I actually think February still has a decent chance.   I am just growing weary of models that over-promise... we have been posting cold and snow maps for 3 straight months and nothing has happened yet.   I am not going to believe anything until its within 4 days.

It gets old doesn't it. I remember December 2016, how badly we torched that fall, I didn't believe it was going to get cold until it actually did.

I just got laid off today so I'll have lots of time to ride the models this week.  I guess there's always a bright side.

At any rate we have good consensus that a GOA block will explode in the 7 to 10 day period.  Without that we have nothing so that's a big deal.  Now we wait and see how the details of said blocking play out.  MJO is expected to remain stalled in region 7 for an extended period so we have a decent chance of something pretty good happening.

Sorry to hear that but glad you will be posting more! 

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!

Sorry to hear, I got laid off from my job of 17 years back on the 18th.  I knew it was coming (the plant is closing), and had been on furlough since May 2020...still sucks.  No idea what kind of work you do but hopefully you can find something quick.
