Phil 12092 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 3 hours ago, AlTahoe said: I know that sound you are speaking of and it is hard to describe. We receive post frontal convective bands that stream up the Sierra after a strong cold front has gone through that will drop 5-8" an hour snowfall rates and it makes a different noise than 1-3" snowfall rates for sure. That sounds like a blast, man. I’m sure it’s a lot more common out there. The heaviest snow I’ve ever experienced was likewise in a convective squall, back in February 2007. Haven’t seen anything even remotely close to it since, not even in a nor’easter. Barely lasted 20 minutes, but dropped almost 4”. Maybe a bit less but wind made it difficult to measure, and the fact there was a 5” glacier of sleet on the ground from the V-day storm certainly helped accumulations. Still, it’s the only time I’ve ever experienced absolute zero visibility, to date.

Yeah, if I got some heavy snow with an arctic front it would be awesome, but they so rarely deliver here. Because of the Chuckanut Mountains I also tend to be sheltered from the strongest winds.

My gut doesn’t mean much but the pattern itself is moving toward being a somewhat rudderless mess. That can be a good thing sometimes, but more often than not truly cold continental air needs more help. Those mountains are tall! A lot of what’s being shown now in the long-mid range is very much dependent on exact timing and phasing. Good luck getting any kind of realistic handle on it any time soon and things will probably look a lot different in a couple days, for better or worse. The only consistent features are a very cold air mass to our north and east and very tentative Pacific blocking. One is good, the other not so much. 3 My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad. Link to post Share on other sites
