A little late, again, but here are the 4 weekly maps from LAST NIGHT’S ECMWF run:
THE BASICS:
Commenting on this blog is open to anyone with an interest in or fascination with weather. Here at FOX-12 we're happy to provide you a space to "geek out" with fellow Pacific Northwesterners. But please don't abuse the privilege.
1. POSTING LINKS/VIDEO:
It's okay to insert video or pictures, as long as the link points to something appropriate for the general public. No politics, obscenity, etc...
2. CHOOSE A NAME ONCE:
Choose a name or identification once and stick with it. The very first time you comment it is held for moderation. After it's approved, that EXACT name will be allowed to comment at any time. Note that this applies to your IP address too. So using the same name but on Grandma's computer will require a one-time hold as well. This keeps the spam out.
3. NO PROFANITY:
This is pretty obvious, but avoid being rude or taunting others too.
4. NO RACISM, OR VIOLENT THREATS:
This will get you kicked off quickly. Please report this to me at mark.nelsen@kptv.com if it happens here.

Hello Mike, just wanted to let you know about the group invitation.
I’m in. LOL
Currently, a mild 46 here.
I sent you a message via FB earlier.
00z GFS ensemble wow colder yet!!! Battle against the models euro usually wins out but GFS is looking good who knows:) http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/MT8_Portland_Oregon_USA_ens.png
Still is nowhere close to being a snow producer in the valley. Just raw bitter rain for us.
I would say -8c is pretty close to vally snow?! Maybe not:)
-8 is a good number for valley snow.
It is.
But that chart doesn’t dip that low.
I should qualifiy that. In the reasonable time frame it doesn’t dip that low. The very long range…yup. But tomorrow’s won’t.
Today smelled like spring. Moths are out. Felt warm. I’m sure it’s a full-on tease, but it was kind of nice. Anybody doing a Superbowl thing this weekend? I’m going to put out food and hope somebody shows up. Even though I’m not really into football, it’s a great excuse for a party and I don’t even care who wins! I’m originally from the Bay Area and my husband is from Maryland. Wow, way TMI! Sorry, I’m bored …
Love week 4. A cold air anom pops up from Baja? Jose Feliciano two months late wishing us a Merry Christmas
Oooohhhh….love that Feb. 12-18 anomaly! That’s our false spring….BOOK IT!
And hopefully this false Spring leads to a tremendous actual Spring and Summer! Up for some warm south flow with some instability???
Typical. Doesn’t start to get cold till the approach of Spring when we want it the least.
And if you look at the Arctic ice coverage, the peak has been occurring later than average for the last few years. Climate change???
Marcus, I guess there’s our answer.
I’m not giving up yet at least not till mid feb has past!!!:)
For Arctic Blast or just snow in general?
I cant wait for that first day above 60. It could be in the next 10-15 days if these weeklies pan out.
As much as I enjoy measuring rain I am sick of it. It would be nice to be outside for a while without worrying about getting wet.
