Saturday, February 22, 2014 11:21 p.m. Well, at least not for Seattle. The latest model runs have all been more aggressive with scouring the cold air that we have in place out and leaving the rain-snow line further north. Whatcom County looks to receive the biggest blow from this event, and Bellingham is currently under […]
Late Season Sea-Level Snowfall?
Friday, February 21, 2014 1:19 p.m. Heads or tails? With the European model saying essentially no snow, the NAM (one American model) giving snow to the foothills and places to the far north, and the GFS (the premier American model) giving 3-8 inches of snow everywhere, you might as well flip a coin at this […]

Snow Updates for 2/8/2014
Saturday, February 8, 2014 This will be my page for snow updates for the night. 6:49 p.m.: currently lightly snowing in the U District with temperatures around freezing. Surprisingly, it actually is sticking on some cars and even some sections of black pavement. Some feature looks to have developed off of the system coming in […]
Light Snow Tonight
Saturday, February 8, 2014 4:20 p.m. Hey everybody, I hope your Saturday is going well. Mine is. I haven’t done much (or anything for that matter), but that’s doesn’t necessarily constitute a bad day. It’s good to have a chill day every once in a while. The story of this week has been the snow […]
Cascade Concrete
Thursday, January 9, 2014 2:35 a.m. (yup, one of those nights) They say the Eskimos have 100 different words for snow. I doubt “Cascade Concrete” is one of them, because I don’t know of any Inuit peoples in the Cascade mountain range. However, it is definitely one that many people, and certainly every skier and […]
Finally… Snow in the Mountains!!!
Wednesday, January 8, 2013 9:37 p.m. I’ve been waiting for this date for so long! Franklin Falls Webcam on I-90: http://www.wsdot.com/traffic/passes/snoqualmie/default.aspx Snow in the mountains. But not only that… snow at Snoqualmie Pass. I’m taking a class with Cliff Mass this quarter, and he’s a bit skeptical that the Summit at Snoqualmie will get enough snow […]
The Truth About My Snow Forecast
Saturday, December 21, 2013 11:32 a.m. It wasn’t that good. Simon Cowell is giving me the thumbs down: http://tinyviolets.wordpress.com/category/music/ What? I think my elitist response yesterday was an insecure attempt to retain my position as Seattle’s best snow forecaster. For this snow event, that wasn’t true. I was calling for what the models were showing… 2-6 […]
Less Snow than Forecast
Friday, December 20, 2013 7:43 a.m. Where’s the glacier? We got significantly less snow than forecast. I’m actually super proud of myself… I called this before several others, including but not limited to Cliff Mass and the Seattle NWS. That takes skill! (and a fair amount of luck) As evidence, here was my Facebook status […]
Oh Heck Yeah!
Thursday, December 19, 2013 8:32 p.m. OK, so when I saw the latest model run, I absolutely jumped for joy. Why? Because the newest WRF-GFS model run upped the forecast snow amounts. At first, this model gave us a lot of snow, but then it sharply pulled back. Now, it’s trending whiter again. Let’s take a […]
Snow Update
Wednesday, December 18, 2013 11:26 a.m. I was pretty happy when I saw the UW’s WRF-GFS model this morning. http://replygif.net/941 I wasn’t quite stunned. If that was the case, this would be my reaction. http://www.reddit.com/r/pictureswithspongebob But hey, I’ll take what I can get. This run was an improvement over yesterday’s runs. I’m still a little […]
