brody Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Scott Sistek is not impressed with what is potentially coming this weekend. Poo Poo's it actually.It actually takes alot to impress Scott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swamp Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Scott seems like a nice enough guy but he probably has to toe the line at KOMO 4. My impression of him is that he regurgitates what the NWS Seattle feeds him. Little thinking outside the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHweatherChris Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 The amazing thing about this event is how many potential possibilities that could happen. From just places up north get a little or pounded, or a realistic chance all of Western Washington getting slammed as the low moves south. It will be very fun to track starting Saturday morning as things start to develop. I would say 2 inches here at least, the GFS has consistently shown that the last few days at some point during the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much have you gotten so far? We saw 2" in December but that has been it.If that map you posted comes to pass then most places north of Seattle will be right on the edge for snow. Central and South Sounders will have to sit this one out. By the way, when are we going to hear from Tim so he can tell us if it does snow, it'll all be gone the next day anyways with warm rain? Hopefully he focuses on his trip to Hawaii and stays away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much have you gotten so far? We saw 2" in December but that has been it.I was just joking with you, I really wanna see all of Western Washington get slammed at the same time, that would be awesome. I saw 2 1/4" total in December, but not at the same time it was 1 inch, melted, 1/2 inch, melted and 3/4 inch melted. But, I did see 3.5 two weeks ago. So 5.75 inches total. Not horrible, but alot less than the last few years dating back to 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet his kids will be pissed if his house got a foot of snow they could play in, although, he would say they would rather be in Hawaii, but in reality he trains them to think like him like little Tim Bots.

snow_wizard Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Going to be an interesting one to watch. I'm not really feeling it for my area, but this is highly uncertain. At this point Bellingham would have to have monumental bad luck to not get at least a couple of inches. BTW I don't think the far north precip area being shown on the NAM will verify. It should extend considerably further south. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

Parksvillewx Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Can't wait for the WRF tonight. I'd love to see the Euro jump onboard more too. Im hoping the WRF doesn't change much since I was in the 10"+ area for snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping the WRF doesn't change much since I was in the 10"+ area for snow. The 18z was considerably worse for your neck of the woods, as well as mine. The more northern track definitely benefits us both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow_wizard Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 why the doubts? I'm just afraid we won't maintain enough offshore flow to pull off snow Saturday night. If the 18z GFS is correct we may get some snow due to evaporative cooling with the generous amounts of moisture being shown. It's going to be a close call no matter how you slice it. It is even possible we could have rain Saturday night and then switch to snow on Sunday or Sunday evening as the surface low slides down the coast. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!
