Definitely some similarities. Dewpoint was 24 at PDX at 10am that morning, though. A wet bulb's delight.

Yeah, definitely had a little more bite to it along with the fact that system was more dynamic overall.

The timing of today’s system all the sudden gives it a bit of a 1-18-96 feels.

I liked what happened over a week later...

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!

They were hyping the hell out of the south wind potential from that one. HWW and all. Only got a little breezy later that night, enough to melt the snow!

Yeah, they got caught up in a little recency bias there. Although I do recall the MRF at one point spinning that thing up to around 980mb or so a couple days out. Came in much weaker and a little further south. Suppressed jet!!!!

It was -4 in Burns, OR this morning!

Oklahoma s all time low of -30 was set February 10,2011. It can get cold in February too!

By now I would have already hit 0 or colder most winters. I have barely touched single digits once I think.

Mark just posted that there are basically no snow chances coming up in the next two weeks. He’s polishing his forks.

12Z ECMWF is slower with the weekend system... Saturday might end up being pretty dry for most of the area.     Sunday now looks much wetter for western WA than previous runs.     Too warm for lowland snow though.

00Z run showed 30s with very low snow levels from Portland southward... 12Z run shows temps in the mid 50s down there on Sunday with precip to the west until late in the day.

Looks like it’s coming around to the GFS solution.

Does anyone actually polish their forks?

If you do, I’d recommend this from the wayback machine:

 

I actually found some sliver platers in my house this past week. I will be watching youtube video's on how to polish them!

I doubt this is the coldest temps ever recorded in mid-February...

I’m taking about 850mb temperatures. Which seldom drop below -40C in the CONUS even in mid/late January.

What about Washington

You’ve still got several opportunities coming up. Hopefully the ensembles keep trending better for next month too.

Total snow for the next 10 days per the 12Z ECMWF... multiple light gray events in the Seattle area over that period add up to slightly darker shades of gray.

Going to be fun to watch and see how this goes. 3km NAM and a few other models show a pretty substantial drop in the dewpoint right before the main band arrives as the offshore flow surges and then we wet bulb down. 3km NAM is probably the best case scenario. Looks like current conditions so far are going as modeled.

Looks like the big change for the better happened on this day 2yrs ago with the 12z Euro. Let’s hope that happens soon this year! One day/One model run can turn it all around!
