Still 31 here with full sunshine and minimal wind at almost noon. Pretty impressive.

12z vs 00z Euro for snow showers overnight.

Pretty good sign that it keeps upping the totals. Should atleast see some snow falling at this point.

34 at home. Probably 32 or 33 way out here on the peninsula where I’m working today.

PDX bottomed out at 1F so far 

Lowest since 1/5/2017 when they also hit 1. Actually would have to go back to 12/7/2013 to find a lower reading there at -2.

This is a deep airmass.

I love these satellite pictures from today. Not a single unfrozen piece of land or water. Currently only -8F still.

Kinda wishing the Portland area could have cashed in on lows better this morning but then again that same mixing gave us sub 40 highs yesterday live by the sword die by the sword 

Wondering how low tonight could go before high clouds move in ahead of tomorrow’s clipper

East wind should also ensure another sub-40 day today there near the river. Pretty good if they pull off two with such minimal cloudcover in late February. Even a top tier airmass like late February 1962 didn't manage that at PDX a few days later in the calendar.

Could be a nailbiter they are up to 36 at noon with the east wind slacking a bit. Holding at 34 here

28 last I checked. Beautiful day, unfortunately I'm sick as a dog today, not COVID though FWIW.

Supercooled liquids are a thing

I really need to buy trough heaters for our livestock water, last night and this morning sucked breaking up the ice and pouring buckets of hot water in to make sure they could drink. We didn't have as many animals back in 2016-17 or that winter would have been a total nightmare.

I think that was the day I was supposed to get 0” and my place (Lake Goodwin) ended up with about 6”!

Just bring the troughs into your house at night, that is what I do with my deck dog water pail.

It's currently only 16F in Pullman, WA.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Looks like Springfield made it to 40F. Airport still at 39F.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

PDX hit 39, but down to 37 now. 32 on my station which has been baking in direct sunlight for hours. 

[MossMan]

Very similar hard chunky snow conditions today as it was 4yrs ago! Those booties do not stay on her Feet very well so she is not allowed to hardcore run in the yard the last two days since we have an agility competition this weekend!

18Z GFS says that SW WA and NW OR will be the big winner tonight... the NAM and HRRR say Randy will be the big winner.    My bet is on Randy.

I have a good feeling about tonight for here, for some reason.

If you get hit and  I don't again, I'm going to move.
