Been a wild weather adventure since Thursday. Drove up to the cabin in torrential rain and thunder/lightning, now soon leaving 2-3" of snow with snow showers continuing.
I'm up in the Whittier area in a cabin on a little anniversary vacation. Been coming down the past couple hours. Probably 1" or so. Finally timed it just right after 6 years!
I tell ya this is following the entire month of Jan 2000 to a tee. Here, there were 3 events... First event put down 3-4" , next event a few days later put down a dusting to an 1", then the big one.... East. Didn't get a single flake.
Watch the energy which is trying to phase into the southern s/w.. it's trended faster recently but if it starts reversing that trend it's going to be a bigger phase... e.g CMC/Euro runs from late Sat/early yesterday
first wave still the one to watch... Jan 2000 sorta setup with last minute phase potential.. but if that doesn't pan out then there's another one to take its place
well that was an epic run of the gfs lol. Next weekend's storm sets off a major arctic outbreak and pushes the arctic boundary down to the gulf, potentially setting up some more fun down the road.
