Skagit Weather Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 It is a shame that where there is the heaviest precipitation it is too warm. Places south of here could be getting a good amount of snow right now if it was just a degree or two colder.

westcoastexpat Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Well, NWS just took down the WSW for the EPSL. Also lowered our totals from 2-5 tonight/tomorrow/tomorrow night to just a measly inch. Can't say I'm surprised. It was quite bullish of them to begin with. I was surprised they even said 2-5 for your region given the GFS (which has had a horrible performance) was the only one suggesting it.

Stronger easterly winds tomorrow should be very good for your region. Models have been consistent with Parksville/Nanaimo having lesser amounts though (5-8"), than parts of southern Van Is. and the Olympics.

Skagit Weather Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Still lightly snowing here, but at 35F the snow on the ground is melting quickly. Went out for a drive and it seems my 100 ft. of elevation helped me significantly. Just down the hill I am on there is only about half the snow.

TheBigOne Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Up to the mid 40s here in the Salem/Silverton area and wall to wall sunshine! You guys can keep you're snow though I hope you enjoy it and make the most of you're snow day. Is there any chances of an Artic Outbreak in the near or long term future? Dad and I are going to do yard work this afternoon and it's getting warmer out. Should we unwrap the hoses or is there another freeze to come? This morning it was right at 32F on the dot.

Outflow wedging under the moist air can be great for snowfall even up in the Parksville-Nanaimo region. We need to get that weak low to the SW of here as the Arctic high starts to build south tonight into tomorrow. The precip intensity has been weak all day, not enough to hold up against afternoon warming even at some of the higher elevations, it's been snowing all day but melting on impact. I still think the dynamics look better for snow tonight into tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still snowing steadily but the 1.5" that was around earlier is more like about 3/4" now, Dissapointed so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
