The roads in unincorporated KC are terrible, and honestly, there are some uhh, staffing issues due to a certain illness already plaguing the district for tomorrow. Given what I can see on my end, it’s going to be a hot mess regardless of snow or no snow. Let your cute son spend half the night looking out that window and call him in sick. I have the power to get it excused no matter what school you are at I need daycare open!! Lol and they usually follow schools. I go back to work tomorrow and there’s no way mama is gonna keep him around with a 3 week old. Time to call the grandparents 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow_wizard Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 1 minute ago, Meatyorologist said: Here's my take on the situation tonight through this crude drawing... Through sfc obs it's plainly clear that the GFS was far too cold. From the get go it seemed strangely overzealous with those easterlies, hence my suspicions earlier. What I did not expect, however, was the extremely efficient anafrontal cooling associated with heavy precip rates. Quite honestly this is an overperformance, particularly for Snohomish county, though even down here in N Sea I noticed it fogging up outside while making some food in the kitchen earlier. At this point in time it is appearing increasingly likely given the somewhat stationary nature of this banding that most areas SeaTac north through Mt Vernon will be at least teasing with a substantial threat for snow. If you were holding out hope for that GFS solution, then, well... I don't know what to tell you. That solution was pretty obviously bunk right from the get go. The ECMWF isn't all that different. Also the GFS shows the most dynamic cooling happening a bit later. I think it actually did ok with the east wind cold pool. 2 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!
