Jesse Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Looks like SEA could even get a high in the 20s out of this. Still 28 there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroYoBro Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 It is strange how slow the snow is accumulating here. We have had light snow non-stop since about 11 am and we still have a little less than an inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Looks like 23 will be the high at PDX. Coldest on record there this late in the season. Wow. Yeah, also their coldest high period in 18 years. Then if tomorrow and Saturday manage to stay sub-freezing, it will be our longest stretch this late since 1936.

Snow Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Heard Nick Allard (ch. 8 Portland) say about an hour a go that he thinks the Sat. storm will be no big deal. Says one model he saw showed this and that he's waiting to see it on others before he changes the forecast. Said less moisture and maybe no freezing rain. Anybody seeing this too? That's crappy! Very blizzardy here! Hard for the snow to stick and accumuate, but awesome! Want MORE though, duh! That was before the 18z NAM showed this. http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/data/nam/18/nam_namer_042_1000_500_thick.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perturbed Member Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Moderate to heavy snow here now and the snow is flying up, down and sideways from that furious east wind. Haven't seen anything like this since 2008. Its been snowing here for almost 3-4 hours now and only have 1 inch or so on the ground, hopefully can rack up the total a bit faster now with more intense precip.

paulb/eugene Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Briefly had a bit of freezing rain here in Eugene. I see that temps above 2000' have warmed to mid 30s over Douglas County, as well as points to my east. If the storm approaching Oregon heads toward Coos Bay, intensifying with potent shield of precipitation in the NE quadrant draped over Willamette Valley, could have quite a mess. We could see a mix of freezing rain, sleet, snow, with 6-12 inches of snow possible for some folks. Will have to wait until we see runs tomorrow morning or even wait for the GOLU model to come out.

Funny that the NWS PDX AFD was released at precisely the same time that I posted this. Basically saying the same thing as the AFD for tomorrow. * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
