Anyone members in this club?

We love clouds. Read our manifesto and see how we are fighting the banality of ‘blue-sky thinking’. If you agree with what we stand for, then join the society to get your very own membership certificate, badge, Cloud Selector and to start receiving your ‘Cloud a Day’.

They added a new cloud name into the names of clouds.

Typical. An arctic blast in North America always starts by being modelled for the PNW and then trends east. :x

How does it go east even in a -ENSO/+QBO/SSW/Phase 7 MJO.

Thankfully there's still time for it to trend west again but if this busts, then I will be losing hope that winter here can deliver even with all the ingredients in place.

Remember the last one in the models went too far west. I think Climo might have something to say about an east blast.

Mild Fraser outflow conditions: Temp +4ËšC, DP -3ËšC. Actually favorable for snow. Which means one of the models showing Bellingham not under even so much as light gray will doubtless verify.

It's called clown range for a reason.

The grey on the WB maps usually is another kiss of death for snow around here. We either get nothing or (under rare circumstances) it overperforms.

Yup. Light gray = flakes in the air, at best.

23z HRRR and 18z HRDPS both show cold rain tonight for most of the mainland.

18z NAM looks more promising for a trace of snow though.

18z GFS looks decent too.
