WEATHER SYNOPSIS

With the exception of a few warm, wet weather events, atypically
warm and relatively dry weather occupied most of the past fall.
Now on this first real day of winter, Northwest weather continues
to be dominated by generally dry flow associated with a moderate
to strong ridge covering much of the eastern Gulf of Alaska.
Although a weak weather disturbance should slowly move southward
across the region Tuesday in a moderate north-northwesterly upper
flow, relatively light snowfall is expected in most areas along
with brief and slight warming later Tuesday morning. Following
this weak weather system, the strong offshore ridge should
rebuild about 600 miles offshore late Tuesday, and slowly move
eastward while becoming more positively tilted and leaning
eastward Wednesday and Thursday. An associated initially dry,
cooler northerly flow on Wednesday should gradually warm at mid
and upper elevations Thursday into early Friday as the ridge axis
moves over south-central BC Thursday and into southern BC and
northern Washington by early Friday. Finally by mid-late Friday,
a moderate to strong upper trough is expected to flatten and
displace the ridge in the eastern Pacific, with a moderate
frontal system expected to approach the coast later Friday and
move over the region Christmas eve and Christmas Day. This should
spread increasing clouds southward mid-late on the 24th with
light rain or snow developing in the northern Washington Cascades
and Olympics late Friday. Increasing winds and moderate to
briefly heavy rain or snow are likely on Saturday at
substantially lowering freezing levels as a moderate cold front
swings across the area. Initially weak cool easterly flow at the
surface should result in some local freezing rain near the
Cascade passes late Friday and Christmas Eve, but a switch to
increasing westerly flow at all levels and rapid cooling
Christmas Day should produce a rapid transition to mostly snow
above 3 to 4000 feet by mid-day and above 2000 feet or lower
Christmas afternoon. Moderate to heavy snow showers should
gradually decrease later on Saturday into early Sunday along with
further cooling and slowly diminishing winds as the associated
upper trough slightly splits offshore, moves over the region late
Saturday through early Sunday and exits to the east mid-late
Sunday.

In the longer range, the familiar offshore ridge should rebuild
briefly later Sunday and Monday with an associated drier north to
northwesterly flow producing a general drying trend early next
week. However, the ridge’s stay is expected to be relatively
short, with extended forecast models indicating a strong weather
disturbance and upper trough likely moving across the region
later Tuesday and Wednesday. If correct, this should bring strong
winds and moderate to heavy snowfall to most areas at low and
lowering freezing levels.

[joshbu]

This thread needs industrial strength anti-jinxing.

[Stikki]

What joshbu said times ten.

How long have you jongs lived in WA? Everybody knows you can't predict weather here more than three days out, if that even. Look what happened to the snow from the last storm.

Don't get me wrong, I'm prayin' for pow, but I ain't counting my chickens just yet.

[fiddler]

I ain't counting my chickens just yet.

I think you should count your chickens. The Darwin award seekers among them are sure to wander off and get run over by the line of cars racing to the mountain to catch all the new snow. Count your chickens and make sure they are safe!

Unless it's snowing at Whistler.

Rule #1- Never leave somewhere that's got the goods.

[skibum193]

ive lived in WA for all my 15 yrs, and ya, the weather is hella unpredictable. however, that means it cud dump 5 feet when they only think 1 ft will fall

whistler was only calling for flurries last time i checked which made me think about baker. and even if the snow isn't that great whistler has other goods not to be forgotten aka yes please animals (girls). the drinking is always top end too.

Hard to imagine that he's single isn't it folks?

BC whatever you do, PLEASE ski something deep and fresh for me? Hood was fun today in the sense that it was skiing, but NOTHING compares to freshies...

[Jumper Bones]

Pff, at this point getting some is getting some. It doesn't matter if it's a slutty chunky chick or a hot-ass virgin; it's all the same until you start hitting it regularly.

Hence my theory on snow and skiing.

Wow...I am speechless Jumper...no really, words can't describe my reaction...

[Jumper Bones]

Wow...I am speechless Jumper...no really, words can't describe my reaction...

Heh, I watch the show "Scrubs", which, btw, is fucking hilarious...anyway, there's a point where Dr. Dorian (Zach Branff, the main character) is talking to his roommate, Dr. Turk (Donald Faison), about a pact they made - that if it'd been more than six months, then they weren't liable for who they slept with. After the first time, then they were liable again, but they got a get out of jail free card.

anyway, I thought it was funny.

[midget]

damn bout time you guys get some out there.
hope it hits, wish i was back home for the holidays though...
