It just started snowing! Small flakes falling straight down, very light. Nothing on radar but it's nice to see.
Still have most of the snow from the night, it's been cold enough it didn't melt.

Very good model agreement for another round of light snow tonight.

Per earlier discussion, temperatures will be marginal, so we shall see. It may end up being a Pornoman special, but not necessarily!

Just thinking of Rob's unhappiness fills me with joy. Is it Christmas again?

While there is nothing major shown on the models yet, there is the potential for another round of winter later in February.

Not a bad ensemble, probably nothing crazy but probably chilly with a snow chance. Only 33 cm to go for my goal of 100.

Why is radar doing the knocking on the door for 3 hours thing the atmosphere is saturated innit?

I was down in Portland for the weekend, so I was sort of hoping they would have scored that once modeled Saturday/Sunday snowfall.

A February 2018 repeat would be nice.

I was just going to post the same thing. It’s being such a tease tonight.
