February 2014 in the PNW

[TT-SEA]

You will be quite surprised.

 

 

Not really.   It will be above 30 degrees... or around there wiith brilliant sunshine.

 

I don't care how long I have been gone from Minnesota... that will never be cold or uncomfortable to me.    

 

This event could have been epic with snow.   Now its just a matter of stats and your cheeks being cold.      Neither of which excite me.

RIGHT on cue 

[Weather101]

OMG...you said Super Bowl on public forum. You will probably get sued. As you can tell I think the fact Super Bowl can't be said in any radio or TV ad is absurd.

I'll be waiting for the phone call

Cold too me. At night I'm usually out so it's pretty cold

2nd grade posting tonight. Shouldn't we all be watching the blazers? I am.

[TT-SEA]

We were just at Snoqualmie Pass sledding this afternoon... it was 31 degrees and there was a breeze.     Not cold.

[Timmy]

Will you all shut up and talk about the 00z gfs?!?

[Snowman Josh]

Well, Tim is posting like he is from Antarctica. That would be the northern forums, Tim.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Guys, knock it off...GFS is running!

[Guest Monty67]

As I have said repeatedly this is destined to be the third coldest February blast since 1936. If people aren't impressed by that that's their problem.

I am looking forward to next week but with clear skies and no snow cover I doubt I will see a high below 30.

LOL

[Snowman Josh]

Well, Tim is posting like he is from Antarctica. That would be the southern forums, Tim.

Way too funny

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Looks like the 00z is going to be cooler than the 18z.

I changed it to south, LOL. Brr..it's 35 here and my nuts are freezing.....just brutal.

[snow_wizard]

Why in the **** should anyone who appreciates very anomalous weather even bother with this forum? Just to come on here and have people say it's no big deal. A top 3 February cold wave for the past 75 years and some people say ho hum. Just mind blowing.

 

Too bad such people make this forum so un-enjoyable for me and others.

[50shadesofvan]

My first official post on the cold snap: http://50shadesofvan.com/blog/2014/2/1/cold-air-crisis

 

Dug up a little bit of info on Feb. 89, and made a brief comparison as well. Looks like 89 had tighter pressure gradients, stronger outflow, a deeper high pressure over Yukon, plus better cross-polar flow. 

[TT-SEA]

00Z WRF shows snow for Andrew tomorrow evening!

 

I think his location is going to see snow showers until Tuesday... good angle on the flow.    

[snow_wizard]

I agree!  I also feel they will be significantly colder! Bastards!! lol

I don't think Oregon will be colder this time.

Whoaaa I better check this out!

The way the models were last night showing sub 30 highs and the ensembles dropping close to -20C I would say this upcoming cold snap is definitely noteworthy and I for one am excited

Jim... its awesome at the 850mb level.   I can very much appreciate that.   Its incredible to have two such events in ONE winter.   

 

But the end result is the same temp we enjoyed at Snoqualmie this afternoon.   Who cares if other people don't think its cold.   You have a strong appreciation for historic meaning and that is awesome.   Snow would have made this an insane event.

How many powerful over running events have you seen here? Trust me you would be impressed with a 1996 type over running event.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Tim. The MM-NAM or the WRF-GFS? I only see the WRF out to 27 hours.

[BLI snowman]

1989 started out great! BUT there hasn't been ANYTHING at all with this to suggest anything like that was POSSIBLE. So I don't really know why you keep bringing it up?

 

Seriously. Most obnoxious thing to read the last few days is Tim rehashing the fact that next week will be dry. We get it. 

[TT-SEA]

Oh big time!

 

And that is the real potential to make this a memorable and exciting event.    And never-ending transition like 1996 or 2008.

No , I remember that event VERY well and I would kill, pillage and plunder to get that setup again

WRF... shows precip down there.   Although I am not sure of your exact location.

[brody]

So much for being cloudy all weekend Tim

[Black Hole]

00z GFS is looking chilly

No . Were talking about 20 below average for highs. This will be impressive for anyone who knows how cold that is for this part of the world. Jesus christ this place gets littered with bullshit sometimes.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Hey I wonder if anyone notices that the 00z is MUCH colder than the 18z. 516 thickness to EUG by hour 123.

[TT-SEA]

So much for being cloudy all weekend Tim

 

Yeah... that definitely improved!

 

Very glad.

[TT-SEA]

Could be a close call for snow on the coast tomorrow evening as well... WRF is really close.

[TT-SEA]

00z GFS is looking chilly

 

Looks like its dug in a little deeper.   I like that.

[BLI snowman]

I agree!  I also feel they will be significantly colder! Bastards!! lol

 

I think Portland will be a cold spot with this, but Eugene/Corvallis won't do nearly as well this time around. Seattle should have a better event than most of western OR. 

[Snowman Josh]

Yeah... that definitely improved!

 

Very glad.

You're welcome.

[Weather101]

Any snow chances in next 48hrs for Vancouver bc area?
