Are you hoping places here in the PNW like Springfield, which is probly one of the most due locations in the region, finally score again with a legit snow event? Haven't had more than a sloppy inch or so in this part of town since Dec 2021. Haven't had 5 straight winters with this little snow since the Feb 1996-Nov 2003 dark ages. The Jan 2024 ice storm was legendary for sure, but I'm especially talking about upper levels. Feels like it hasn't gotten to -11 maybe -12 or better 850s here in a while.

Some differences a week out.

This warming thing seems like it's a global phenomenon...

18z is a legit troughy run out here but getting that to translate to surface temps is more of a challenge every year.

Low humidity is a beautiful thing out here.
