Low elevations snows this time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowland or sea level PNW snow to boot. Its incredible how much snow you can get versus how much you usually don’t get most years in those parts. Strong or multi year la Nina’s do that over there and when I once lived in Seattle it was El Niño, and that year I don’t recall any storm ever getting snow below 3000-4000 feet all winter. Feels like during the 2nd year of a two-year La Niña she really sinks her teeth into things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 That 500 loop on that model is exactly what could go right in these blocks. That’s what many envision in their heads as an ideal scenario with these things. Unfortunately it’s the ICON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the H5 map on Xmas Eve and Xmas. That is ridiculous looking. There’s like 6 clusters of energy…more like buckshot. Even that solution though gives a bit of front ender snow for Xmas…looks best west and it kind of fizzles a little bit as it heads east. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just that this week, the overall changes in temperature and pattern just feels like snow. Moderate snow. I can feel it in my bones. Guaranteed advisory event will happen over Southern and Central New England within 21 days. That’s the best I can promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaStorm05 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 You don’t always see pattern changes clear and well defined coming down the pipeline. They tend to just sneak up on you, by way of filtering through the invisible cracks peppered about what looks like an ongoing and predictable middle range forecast, and then before you know it your long range forecast of endlessly sunny days becomes a parade of aggressive storms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Oh Canada…nice little Xmas Eve burst and then Xmas Day again on the GGEM…not as prolific as the ICON but it’s several inches for a good chunk of SNE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
