Send him to Anchorage. My in-laws near Anchorage, Alaska need some help shovelling the snow off the room. The library roof in Palmer collapsed today.

Here is my in-laws place....

Ah man Glace that's insane, sorry to hear that l know Anchorage has been absolutely buried this winter.
They just had another dump this past weekend and are running out of places to dump the snow.
I heard the Shizmilkameenzz could use some snow. :wtf: l think Graham took the last balloon 🎈 out of here.

More like will likely never happen again. Especially in Donutsford :lol:

However, i recall many late season snowfalls in mid to late Feb that produced massive snowfalls. A lot of 0c snows that produced heavy snows region wide for the most part. If we can thread the needle again.. :think: :think:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

Dry blast then lingering chill with sloppy snowfalls.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Total GFS snow as the front comes in (some of what is shown in Seattle is phantom snow).

At this point I have to believe you are intentionally jinxing yourself.

Unfortunately the trajectory of the toughing might not favour us as much as it did in December. But 2-5 cm is totally doable.

Also, I was wrong: that is not the arctic front. It is a little system that comes in with chilly but not cold air ahead of the main front. By the time the front comes, it’s thoroughly dry.

There is snow as the arctic front comes in on the GFS, but not this far north.
