Has anyone really checked themselves and noticed how stupid it is to get upset when Tim shows a warm map or one you don't like?? It used to make me mad until this last time he was banned and i then realized how fuckkin stupid it was. He has bad timing sometimes but whatever if you don't like the map then pass on by!!! Jesus..

Not sure why you’re trying to argue with me. My initial comment was just based on what I said about you posting EPS maps showing warmth when you returned from your timeout.

It's not really warm or dry. It is what it is. Just information.

Well my junipers are still under a blanket! My goal is an additional 2” by morning, can I get there...looking forward to the 18z Euro at 4pm. (As long as someone posts it)

You have pretty much the same i have left.

Here’s a brutal truth: Portland averages only about 4" of snow per season. Seattle averages about twice that (7") and Vancouver about twice what Seattle gets (15"). So if it seems like Portland often gets skunked on snow events, that’s because it does. If you really can’t stand it, and want to see more snow, consider moving someplace snowier (applies wherever you live).

And unfortunately, the only place my wife probably ever even consider moving to would be Boise, where my parents are. And Boise really doesn't get much in the way of snowfall.

Warming up here too... sun is doing its thing.

 

[MossMan]

They love it as much as me. They protest coming in the house whenever there is snow.

High humidity! still amazing to see how it effects the snow. It could be 38 degrees with 40% humidity and it would look like it still snowed.

[MossMan]

My rain gauge keeps going up so I looked out there and sure enough there is still snow melting on it. Up to .41” on this dry day!

You can pull it up quickly on your phone on Tropical Tidbits.

43F and cloudy.  Was nice to have 3 straight days with a negative temp departure.  Got down to 37F overnight so it's gonna be close today.

Would rather see it posted here.

NWS Seattle says nothing about the north sound cz snow for tonight. They just mention the south sound seeing some mixed showers.

That is good news for you... means it's more likely.

Thanks Chris!

So the warm up last night never made into the Snoqualmie Valley.   And then western edge of that moisture band clipped us and dumped another 2 inches of snow in the last couple hours.  Schools were going to be open... then 2 hours late... now closed.   

 

I was down in North Bend at 6 a.m. to get milk and it was dumping snow even down there and the roads were still completely snow covered in town from the previous events and getting worse at that time.   And there are huge snowbanks everywhere.   We are doing our best Skykomish impression out here.   I assume tomorrow morning will be the same.   Then it will finally start to melt.

 

Here is a live view of NB... there must be at least a foot of snow on the ground right now in the valley.   Its not much different than up here.  

 

 

 

Finally up to 40 in North Bend... first time since Sunday.

My son at UW wanted to know if our snow was melting... he was hoping it was not. I sent him this on Snapchat.

Has anyone really checked themselves and noticed how stupid it is to get upset when Tim shows a warm map or one you don't like?? It used to make me mad until this last time he was banned and i then realized how fuckkin stupid it was. He has bad timing sometimes but whatever if you don't like the map then pass on by!!! Jesus..

I really missed the EPS, although I rarely need to know what the weather will be doing two weeks from any given moment. It’s by far the best we have for giving a rough estimate of things at that range and has proven this time and time again.

 

It comes down to weak stomachs and Tim’s track record. It really isn’t that hard to just look at the map and move on though.

The heavy outflow wind shut off quite abruptly around midnight last night, and temps have shot up close to 15 degrees since then. Now at 30F, the warmest it's been since Sunday afternoon, after failing to exceed 20F for the past 3+ days. The warm-up came quick.

 

Snowing quite heavily in Lynden right now.

[MossMan]

If I had time today I would take a 45 min drive to Lynden.

[MossMan]

Skykomish just got above freezing, they needed that!

[Deweydog]

18z!!!

It's made its way down to Bellingham now, didn't expect this.

[GHweatherChris]

I think I will see .5-1" of snow tonight, but I would not be surprised to see zero or 3 inches of accumulation.

Do they ban people from posting warm maps? ( I'm an infrequent map poster/lurker)
