Still rather juicy at the very least, hopefully that second system just nails everyone.

Yes, the 1960 event you mentioned is the latest in "modern times" with 1/4-1/2" ice accumulations following the snow.

Another big late one was 2/22/1957. Portland had an inch of snow before switching to ZR and then got about 3/4" of ice. The valley had a big ice storm with 1-2".

Thanks. And yeah, I would imagine there are a lot more examples before the airport era when we got cold past early February with much more regularity.

There also was a sleet and ice storm on the 11th and 12th in 1936, as we rang in that really amazing mid month cold snap. About an inch of sleet in Portland with more on the eastside of town. Followed by 6 straight subfreezing highs from the 13th to 18th. 

February can still be cold, folks!

Looking like it’s friday night or bust here. The southerly trend tonight is undeniable

Not sure it's really a trend considering it was originally going well south, it's more of a calibration to the center of the uncertainty range. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some light snow extended way north on the northern edge of that. In January 2012 the models showed no snow up here and we ended up with 6"; not likely this time, but there could still be light accumulations. The Friday night system looks a lot more promising up here if it can hold together.

Late Friday-Saturday storm looks much more potent

Let’s hope this one doesn’t suffer the same fate at the first one. 

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!

And I was in such a good mood this morning with how things were trending. What a blow. 

I’m sure you’ll still score at some point at the very least over this weekend, whatnot with your location.

This run is going to be good for WA too. PDX is going to get nailed by both.

00Z keeps everything nice and suppressed with the first system. Everyone will probably benefit from that later on in the weekend.

I’d actually be happy with this run...Much better snow chances down in northern OR if this verifies turning this into a more regional event instead of a WA based event. More fun when more people score. Still looking good south of Seattle this week.

The snow output for PDX to Olympia is going to be freaking insane on this run. SLE gets 6.5" of snow and then a historic ice storm.

It's just the GFS, ICON, and NAM. I'll start preparing for some wintry weather when I'm a lil' more sure.
