still ain't skeer'd

One thing about moving over here that I found out. Those bitterly cold solutions with extremely cold air that we see that gets everyone excited? That is not the pattern we want to see here to get a lot of snow. Those patterns are pretty dry. The Western parts of the state can get a lot of snow with the initial arctic blast, but we won't get much. Don't get me wrong, it's interesting and far from the worst pattern we can have. What do we want? Normal weather. Maybe skewing toward slightly below normal temps with normal precip. Keep in mind Cashmere averages about 54 inches of snow annually and here in Leavenworth went average about 94 inches. It's hard to cheer for normal, wet (and white) weather for us when it means rain for our forum friends who get rain, especially when it looked like arctic air was a possibility. But that's the weather that will give us a lot of snow. I do though root for snow for everyone. It's fun to see the pics when the others do get snow. So I do hope for the arctic blasts, even though it usually means less snow for us.

I got excited for a moment...

I could wait 15 days. I would rather wait 20 days.....closer to that Old Saint Nick dude.. Let's root for a white Solstice.

The 00z EPS shows that the Euro run was a cold outlier but it does reflect the same theme of Arctic air glancing the PNW under NNW flow. Very similar to its 12z run.
