    Snow in the PNW

    IT CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE AUTUMN IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD. A RATHER DEEP
    TROUGH WITH SUB 550-DAM 500 MB HEIGHTS MOVES ACROSS THE AREA TUE AND
    TO THE E OF THE AREA TUE NIGHT INTO WED. EXPECT TEMPERATURES IN THE
    LOWLANDS TO REMAIN BELOW 60 MOST AREAS TUE AND SNOW LEVELS IN THE
    MOUNTAINS TO DROP TO AROUND THE HIGHER PASSES AS ONSHORE FLOW AND
    THE COLD UPPER TROUGH GIVES SHOWERS. WITH THE TROUGH STILL NOT TOO
    FAR TO THE EAST WED WILL OPT TO KEEP A CHANCE OF SHOWERS WITH
    TEMPERATURES ONLY SLIGHTLY MODERATING. MODEL TIMING STARTS SHOWING
    TIMING ISSUES WED NIGHT INTO THU WITH THE GFS FLATTER AND FASTER
    THAN THE ECMWF. THE GFS WOULD BRING WARM ADVECTION PRECIPITATION
    INTO WESTERN WASHINGTON LATE WED NIGHT AND THU WHILE THE ECMWF WOULD
    BE MAINLY DRY. AT THIS POINT A MODEL BLEND WITH CLOUDS AND POPS
    CLOSER TO CLIMATOLOGY APPEARS TO BE THE BEST BET. FRI AND SAT SHOW
    BIGGER DIFFERENCES ALOFT WITH THE GFS SHOWING RATHER STRONG AND COOL
    NW FLOW ALOFT AND THE ECMWF SHOWING ANOTHER DEEP UPPER TROUGH. ABOVE
    NORMAL POPS AND COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES APPEARS TO BE THE
    BEST FORECAST IN THIS PATTERN DESPITE DIFFERENCES. ALBRECHT

    Would anyone be up for a few turns on Ranier? Wonder if it would even be worth the drive...

    Can you get high from huffing fresh snow? Guess there's only one way to find out.

    Why would you WANT to call bullshit on snow?
