@BLI snowman I've been researching places that are a reasonable balance between being a practical and nice place to live and getting more snow and interesting weather. What are your thoughts on the Prune Hill area in Camas? Seems like you can get to 650-750ft there but it isn't that far from the river. Does the outflow there screw up snow accumulation? The other area that looks interesting are the hills just north of Camas/Washougal. 1000-2000ft elevation and located a bit away from all the dry outflow so maybe quite ideal for snow there. However, seems it could be annoyingly far away from services. Where would you rather live between those places?

I like to think of Weathermodels.com as a step up from Pivotal but a slight step down from Weatherbell. I especially like that they provide meteograms, which Pivotal doesn't do yet to my knowledge. I agree with BlackHole in the site navigation is a bit more unintuitive, especially on mobile devices. Other than that and some long range models that it doesn't have maps for, it's fairly well-rounded in the product it provides. And considering it's half the price of Weatherbell, it's a pretty good deal.

The ICON has a great "snow track" with that second system for snow here but there just isn't any cold air available. Maybe in a month, but not yet.

Here is the closest Wunderground station to me, but it has a nasty habit of going offline and missing precip, so I use the one immediately West of it (Glen Park) instead. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IVANCO48?cm_ven=localwx_pwsdash

Updated EPS meteograms honing in on that heavy rain/severe weather threat here around the 19th. Mean is around 2" but individual members are a lot higher. Still some signal with that second wave but too warm for snow down this way.
