bainbridgekid Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Down to 37 here now and the radar looks interesting. Seems a second CZ may be forming just East of Everett. I've seen this happen quite a few times before where an initial CZ will slide South and then another one forms further North. Worth watching what happens with the shower activity in the Straight as well. Sometimes that can help energize the CZ. 3 Everett Snowfall (510 feet elevation) Snow since February 2019: 91" 2023-24: 6" 2022-23: 17.5" 2021-22: 17.75" 2020-21: 14.5” 2019-20: 10.5" 2018-19: 24.75" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 I'm cautiously optimistic after seeing the 00z GFS, but I'm more than worried about getting warm nosed.

North_County Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 17 minutes ago, mtep said: Noob question: is the reason that the Bham area is getting shafted on the maps snow-wise because the outflow winds are modeled to be too strong for much precip to make it up here? I know SnowWizard will cite 101 examples where it's not the case, but it seems Whatcom County tends to miss out more often than not on the "regional" events. Usually, if the outflow winds are strong enough to send cold air pouring into the central Puget Sound and beyond, it's just bitterly cold and dry up here. And geographically-speaking, it's close to 400 miles from BLI to Eugene (for example). Not a lot of storm tracks will deliver the goods to all of us. I'm right on the border in the outflow blast zone, and most of my more memorable snowfalls tend to come when the cold air is slow-bleeding out of the canyon, and everyone south of the Chukanuts is getting cold-ish rain. Despite all the model waffling on southern vs. northern track, the BLI-CYWL gradient has pretty consistently been 20+ on every run. Which is why I'm not expecting much. Just cold and windy. I hope to be wrong. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
