The PNA looked kind of crappy.

We will soon see what the 12Z GFS says.   Contrary to popular belief... I don't control the models or the weather.  ;)

Yeah no doubt the 12z will be a bucket of cold water to wake us up this morning.

Good morning, 

As you know, back in late December I decided to end my jovial "ranting" here among you soulless bastard's to focus on more personal matters. 

Well despite my better judgement I have chosen to share some major life news with you all, my gf has accepted an amazing offer from her employer that requires relocation. As such the offer comes with all expenses paid relocation overseas. 

As of August 3rd of this year, her and I will be living full time in Tampere, Finland, not only will this be a massive change but also a welcome change as she is originally from Finland and still has family there as well as in Sweden and Norway. 

I'm still a bit shell-shocked about the whole thing but then I realized, I'll get to see the Aurora Borealis, I'll get snow and not have to worry about the models waffling, I'll see so many things that many of us want or hope to see (in a lifetime) and how lucky we'll both be to experience that. 

The immersion into a culture I'm not familiar with will be a hard task to endure but the "rewards" will far outweigh any hiccups or missteps I may have. 

So for the time being, I may continue to lurk among you and may periodically post. 

Take it easy you goons.

That is pretty D**n amazing! Congrats to  you guys, what an adventure!

At hour 90 you can tell the cold air is shunting further east than the 06z.

Seriously if this falls apart now, IF it does.... I'm taking a vacation from model riding.

It’s pretty difficult  to call this “falling apart” when models have been all over the place for the last week. It’s not like a full on arctic blast has ever been the most consistent model outcome for us.

Still looks chilly during the work week. Probably looking at highs 40-45 in the metro area with lows 25-35 depending on winds. Highs around 45 in the valley lows 20-25.

Rod Hill definitely is warmer Tues, Wed, and Thurs at pretty much 45 each day.  Nelsen has 42, 42, and 40.  Lows were comparable in the upper 20's.  More times than not Rod has done a better job with these kinds of temp profiles in margnal events.  Nelsen is hands above better in overall weather forecasting.  We'll see who leads the way here.  It doesn't seem like much but that's a 3 degree spread and in marginal possible snow set ups, one degree is crucial.

Rod Hill definitely is warmer Tues, Wed, and Thurs at pretty much 45 each day.  Nelsen has 42, 42, and 40.  Lows were comparable in the upper 20's.  More times than not Rod has done a better job with these kinds of temp profiles in margnal events.  Nelsen is hands above better in overall weather forecasting.  We'll see who leads the way here.  It doesn't seem like much but that's a 3 degree spread and in marginal possible snow set ups, one degree is crucial. 

Rod hill has really been drinking heavy again. Poor little fellow.

Starting to be more confident in that this won't be a bitterly cold backdoor arctic blast with 850s at -15c like some runs have showed, but still a decently chilly backdoor blast with 850s peaking around -8/-10c and highs around 40. If precip comes in at the right time or the right strength, I could see some lowland snow developing especially in the AM/PM next week. That's still up in the air, of course.

12z GFS spits out a high of 30 for Seattle on Wednesday, so there is a chance this could improve further down the home stretch but I'd say the above is generally a good outline.

The GFS is so goofy with its temp output.   It's like it assumes that Seattle is the same as Spokane in terms of geography.

I really think we need to make a graph for the extreme bipolar mood on here over time. It's like every six hours we go from the highest highs to the lowest lows. Almost as if we had our entire life savings invested in the outcome of every March Madness game, but on every other game we bet on the upset.

It’s wild, man. The last time I saw mood swings of similar amplitude on a wx forum was Boxing Day 2010.
