Oregon and Washington BS thread

From my sisters boss who works for some weather company or some shit.

Adverse conditions heading our way.

The models are more in agreement (finally) and we now have a bit of snow on the radar to confirm the pattern evolution: we can expect significant snow totals, with steady, accumulating snow beginning midday today and with snow intensity peaking near evening commute time, but continuing overnight.

This is likely to be the most significant widespread snow event the Portland area has had since 2009. We’re expecting more than 3” in most places, including Portland proper, but up to 7” in the places that get hit with the strongest bands (south of Portland proper). Snow totals are very hard to predict with this system because its “snow band” nature will result in big differences in snow totals at different parts of the metro area but we can rule out the zero/trace outcome.

Commutes that are at high risk for adverse conditions from actively falling snow or freezing rain:
snow: Thu evening, Fri morning, Fri evening, Sat morning;
snow and fz rain: Sat evening;
fz rain: Sun morning.
Low risk: fz rain Sunday evening (except high risk in the gorge and extreme eastern suburbs).

National Weather Service official warning is pasted below (the definition of a “winter storm warning for heavy snow” is “severe weather conditions are expected or occurring. Significant amounts of snow are forecast that will make travel dangerous. Only travel in an emergency. If you must travel keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of emergency”), and note that there is an official “blizzard warning” in effect for I-84 from about Troutdale to the central gorge:

Good luck dude - hope you can find something soon.

 

Nice! ^^^

 

I want snow. more then that tho

 

It's dumping right now. We're suppose to have half foot by 3 oclock.

 

Mt Hood on Saturday. 2 weeks ago no snow on this road. I was planning on going up again but sounds like I might be able to just mob around the burbs this instead

 

LUCKY! I wanna go play in the snow now.. and today is my Friday... HMMMM might have to go on a snow run tonight

 

Come over here and I'll take you for a ride in a Tacoma with a straight frame.... I KID I KID!!!! I still feel real bad for ya on the fucked up truck. Sucks!!!!

 

My bent tacoma will still out show your straight taco I NO KID


Okay okay maybe i kid... a lot I WANT MY TACO FIXED

 

I feel for ya...I do. I was all HULK mode the other day cuz I have a stripped eccentric that needs replaced that my boys at Firestone did..I was pissed. That's NOTHIN compared to what you got.

 

And of course it happens during my fav time of year to wheel. I LOVE Snow wheeling

 

I have something in the works, but it just isn't going to happen as soon as I was hoping for.

If the boys at Firestone messed it up, take it back to them and have them correct it on their dime.

 

I would make them foot the bill at a better place. I have heard to many shitty stories about Firestone.

And RAPR, you got a jacked up truck with a lot of aftermarket goodies, I don't think they cover that in the 3 hour Firestone training course.

 

LOL. Yeah they are doing it all on their dime. Have to wait till Saturday to get er done.

 

Lucky, I wish someone would fix my truck on their dime haha

 

You need a sugar daddy for a few months until it's fixed.

 

haha are you volunteering???? jk never had one of those before! Who wants to take me up on the offer lmao

 

ironically i just won the lottery

 

YAY! So we r quitting out jobs and getting badass rigs and running away to Finland right?!
