February Snowfalls 2/10-2/12, Part III & IV

[MossMan]

What a day!! 31.2

[wxmet]

Huge dendrites falling now. Really impressive overrunning event.

[TT-SEA]

Models were pretty adamant that western areas would hold onto air longer with easterly flow. 

 

I didn't want to say anything earlier, but it never looked real good for Jim's area...though he was closer to being in the right spot than people just a bit further south.

 

He is getting warming from the SE through Enuwclaw right now.   Need wind to switch back to east.

[snowbustcity]

Unrelenting, heavy snow for the past 4 hours in NE Seattle. Crossing fingers that it never transitions.

[MV_snow]

24 degrees here in Ravensdale (Kanaskat Palmer), 18-20 inches on ground, east wind crushing us and heavy snow. Truly incredible

Man. I’m just about 5-10 miles to your WNW and had it flip to rain about 90 minutes ago. Goes to show how close SnowWiz and I were to something great!

 

Edit: just flipped back to snow while I was typing this!

downtown Seattle is really doing well with this. Where is the Weather Channel?

[TT-SEA]

Northern part of Maple Valley is still snow and its snowing hard than when I check 15 minutes ago.

 

[Front Ranger]

SEA has probably picked up 3-4"+ of additional accumulation today. It's a very wet, heavy snow so it's not reflected in the additional 2" added to the snowpack...but they already had 2" new snow at 1 pm, and have had about .35" precip in the form of heavy snow since then.

[BigDaddyMike]

Still absolute dumping in Tacoma's North Slope.  Easily 15" on the ground now, possibly more.  Absolutely NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bainbridgekid]

Storm total of 3" at SEA with 2" in the last hour according to the NWS. 

[Andrew.]

HRRR going all in for tonight across the PDX metro area. Reminds me of superbowl 2017 when we got 33 and rain instead, maybe this time will be different!?!?

I notice the cams in Tacoma went from wet to blankets of snow now. The precip rates must be helping. Pretty amazing. 

 

There is definitely a warm nose peaking NE into King County over Kent, Auburn, Covington and south end of Maple Valley. Areas to the west and farther north doing well.

I’m digging the -5 mb dls-pdx

[MossMan]

Snow has lightened. Power flickering. Come on next band!!

[Andrew.]

Certainly throws a little positive curveballs in there. Temps tomorrow could be quite a bit cooler than forecast.

[FroYoBro]

This is the last chance I will give the HRRR. Give me sticking snow tonight or you are useless to me! 

[Rubus Leucodermis]

33˚F, snowing hard and continuously, 1.5" in the past hour, 4.3" storm total, 20.7" for the month (and counting).

[jakerepp]

Snow has found its stride here and been dumping buckets for an hour and a half at a consistent rate.

[Kayla]

18z gets us pretty chilly again mid range and beyond.

 

Hard to believe it but days 10-12 looks to have a decent chance at another blast which could be more backdoor'ish.

[Katzen]

I have been caught off guard by how many people have just enjoyed it and have been rooting for more, save for one cranky lady at the bakery I frequent.

 

I love it! Lived for 5 years in Leavenworth and miss the snow - our neighborhood here has a lot of fun, snowmobiles, quads and assorted ATVs are having a blast

[χιόνι (chióni)]

I just measured 18 inches

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

The snow on rail is from the last 24hrs. Can for reference. That is my sons honda civic lol. This probably the most snow in 24 hrs here in a very long time.

Insane. You better really enjoy that for everyone down in Oregon. 

[Kayla]

Just in case anyone was thinking this cold is almost over...

 

[Monty808]

After a 30 minute switch to sleet/rain, It’s snowing hard again here in the Cascade-Fairwood area. Any chance this could last? Seems like we’re RIGHT on the fringe. Currently 32 btw

Wow...

Wow!

[TigerWoodsLibido]

45 and light rain

[Esquimalt]

5 inches here so far in esquimalt, snow still ripping

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Insane. You better really enjoy that for everyone down in Oregon.

 

I'd rather have less than this if it ment some for you guys down there. Not as fun when others are missing out.

[andrewr]

I measured 11" of snow on an untouched bench in Burien and it is still coming down in buckets. Amazing!

[Geos]

I can concur with Fred. It is dumping in Everett at 31°. Was out by Granite Falls a bit ago and the flakes were small but they were persistent. Noticed a 3-4 temp drop while traveling. You guys might be onto something with the downsloping.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Still 30 degrees here and thats why trees aren't falling. Yet..

[runninthruda206]

What’s your take on UW/Wallingford change to rain?

[XLVIII43to8]

I've stayed steady at 32 degrees in West Seattle since 1pm... lets hope it hold steady a little longer!

[The Swamp]

some of the heaviest rain yet here in the swamp

 

that warm nose sure is making some progress on radar, racing north

[MossMan]

This fat bird is hogging all the seed from the littles. Bully.

Snow falling like crazy again after a 20min lull.

31.2

[SilverFallsAndrew]

IDK if anyone mentioned this, but Sea Tac now reporting a depth of 8". So they've been adding snow while it has been above freezing the whole time. That is some heavy snow!

[MossMan]

[bainbridgekid]

Down to 29 now here in South Everett!

 

It's clear the normal bias of scouring out cold air too quickly is occurring. The question is how long this will hold on for.

 

Seeing reports of rain in Downtown Seattle but will likely go back to snow with heavier precip.
