Originally showed multiple snowstorms into Oregon, then Washington and then the south coast totalling over 100cm. Within 72HRS, models collapsed and we saw a overrunning snowfall followed by 10c rain and mild SW flow.

Still solid. I'm not concerned yet. We'll see what the EPS shows. :thumbup:

But did we have all the models including the Euro and EPS on our side during that one or was it mostly a GFS fantasy?

Every model was showing similar. Then collapsed within 72hrs. Pretty wild stuff.

It is always a bad idea to bet against Team 10ËšC Rain!
It's called clown range for a reason.

I’m pretty sure gfs operational was most bullish however the euro was not and neither were the ensembles. It still was a pretty epic rug pull though.

This situation does appear to be different. I would be nervous though if I was south of Seattle.

Pretty sure I recall that euro being similar to the GFS but I may be wrong. Nito or Monty probably remember.

Let's hope this does not end the way January 2011 did. :ohbro:

We'll likely be fine. I'm probably getting too paranoid. ;)

Imagine the GEM leads the way on this one though. That 12z run retrogrades the PV from the prairies towards BC/WA/OR. :lol:

2011 was also a -QBO. This time we have a +QBO on our side, which favours amplified blocking. So I think that will help us. :thumbup:

Anyone think we will see flakes in the air today anywhere beside E Valley? or just more cold rain :roll:

Probably dry for us today. Only moisture in the eastern valley as the western slopes are providing upsloping lift with the westerly flow.
Why not try cycling to work, grocery store, anywhere!
