Brennan Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Pretty lame here thus far, still just a dusting. Cams show Lynden/Sumas with maybe close to an inch.Were you expecting it to be anything more than lame during the day today? I don’t know what to think of the 12z... BLI really gets the open palm to the face. And if we get a big blast and snow next weekend while I’m in NY i’m going to jump off the statue of liberty.

MR.SNOWMIZER Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Yup. GEM. Showed -SN into SilverdaleImpressive. Just west of Silverdale is a very good area for snow. Very close to the Olympics. At this point despite what the wrf shows I think the entire hood canal area from the hood canal bridge down to Shelton and east from a line from Shelton up through Belfair and the Bremerton airport area will see 2-6 inches by Monday morning. 1 Quote We come from the land of the ice and snow.

Definitely was going to be a close call, sometimes those work out in your favor and sometimes they don't. Tomorrow still has a lot more potential of course. And NYC will probably have snow still.

Jesse Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Models are starting really to back off on how much cold air makes it to the Gorge by early next week. Yesterday's 12Z GFS showed 850m temps down to -8c over The Dalles Monday into Tuesday, this morning's 12Z has them bottoming out at only -3c. I was never really feeling this event anyway, just too much on the razor's edge for most people. Looks like temps around 50 or so for PDX the rest of the month. 40s out here. So much for a top cold February. Bring on spring!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I'm pretty bummed out about the forecast for a major El Nino next year, as well. Hearing talk of the strongest since the 1997-98 super Nino? That should do a doozy on global temps. Probably the warmest in hundreds of years. But it's all just part of our gradual transition to global cooling by the 2020s, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Monty67 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Wow. 12Z GFS has absolutely fallen apart. Most snowfall from this entire event goes to Everett with 3-4" Seattle sees nothing. Vancouver and Bellingham see 1-2" #GFSfail The WRF is still going with 8"+ for me, Half of what it was showing a few days ago. My dad called me for my forecast last night, he trusts me over Environment Canada. I went with 4-12" through Sunday night. Its a big range, but there is a lot of uncertainty. Right around 1" here so far. I find it funny that we are so snow starved that we have resorted to estimating snow depths to the nearest 1/8 of an inch.
