February 2014 in the PNW

[TT-SEA]

Over and inch now.

 

I think I will end up with 3-4 inches.

 

Maybe... but the back edge is moving towards you pretty fast.

[TT-SEA]

Really coming down near the stadiums:

Proper snowfall in U-district now, ground almost covered.

[GHweatherChris]

Should snow here til at least 9.

 

Its dumping right now, so I could get there.

The HRRR continues to move north with the precipitation. This is the first time it has showed something up here.

That is great to see! What are the odds of a pscz, or deformation band, or anything to enhance the moisture once the main band moves away?

[AnthonyC]

Still light snow here in Issaquah.

 

I need this stuff to pick up!!!

The main band will not be gone for another 9 hours. The back edge(30 miles offshore) after which you have weaker stuff will almost certainly fill in once it's onshore.

Still waiting...

The main band will not be gone for another 9 hours.

 

I tried to like this, but I used up my quota again for the day!

light snow here...was really dumping a few miles to my south. About to head out again.

No doubt... its pretty much stopped here.   Everything built westward.

Yeah... that last burst offshore looks intense.

What gives you that impression?

[DRG]

27.4...dumping rain...19mph gust outta the NE. Feels bassackwards to have 7" of snow on the ground and wishing that it would hurry up and get warmer...

[epiceast]

The low really needs to pull in colder air its 33/27

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Getting ready to dump here. Must be getting some easterly upslope.

[brody]

God, radar is depressing 

[epiceast]

What gives you that impression?

Former snowstorms. Usually crashing onshore gives it a bit of a lift. This should help it last another hour or two.

[brody]

I'd like to know where the moisture is going to come from for another 9 hrs of precip ?

The sky.

So what do you guys think, using the 18Z GFS numbers that I posted awhile back in the thread.  Did the GFS do good so far?  -

I'm going to drive myself crazy watching radar, I'm just gonna watch it fall and not torture myself by what is likely a short lived event.

I would say yes.

[Snowman5678]

East wind drying my area out a bit I think...just light snow...been like this with the 2 heavy bands to my north and south since I got home. 

[GHweatherChris]

2 inches, and increasing intensity.

 

Radar is still looking good.

 

1.5 inches in Westport, impressive.

You continue to do well with snow the last few years. You are the closest person to the ocean in Washington and I think you have had more snow than most of us. Pretty amazing.

[Skagit Weather]

We are becoming members of an increasingly small group. Of course you have already had 11" of snow this winter so you started off better than me.

[GHweatherChris]

At least all the precip we see til morning will be all snow.  No rain.  So we don't have to worry about waking up to bare ground tomorrow.

[epiceast]

To help some of our posters understand how much snow we're getting.

[GHweatherChris]

Wow, flakes getting bigger and coming down heavy.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Dumping here now, temp continues to fall. 29.8.

[HighlandExperience]

The snow here in issy is moderately light. We need more intensity. 

[epiceast]

33/29 pretty stubborn atm

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

I think I joined here in 2008. First event I have watched unfold without Jim (snow_wizard) lame.

[luminen]

I'm glad to see you guys farther north get some snow finally.
