Major Forecast Bust

Wow, the NWS overdid everything by issuing a Winter Starm Warning for 4-8 inches and we get nothing. I had an idea things weren't going right after watching Mark Nelsens forecast. He pointed out that the air in the Gorge wasn't as cold as it should be to bring in some good snow material. I saw this fall apart at the last minute and I became victim to the ill advised models that showed cold enough air to support snow. We do not expect any snow at all for the valley floor and nothing in the near future either. For everyone who used the comments on the blog, I am sorry I couldn't instantly reply to your important questions. The Blog server im using wouldn't let me post untill after 4:00 AM. Thank you to those who read the blog and who left comments about the site. Im sorry for those who thought they would get snow, but like I said..it just wasn't cold enough. Im going to be more on the conservative side when snow chances strike again. Take Care!

    We are getting snow in Bellingham, WA. Don't feel bad, it is really early yet. A late November/early December snow is a good sign, and pretty rare for us.

    I like the overall pattern, I think Snowwizzard mentioned it a few months back. The cold northern jet is interacting with the moist southern jet. Not that this is a major snowstorm, but if this pattern repeats itself later in winter when it is colder, we could get slammed. I think this is what happened in December 1996 when we had 3 feet of snow by late December.
