You guys were wondering why Jim, or some of the other longtimers dont post, this is it. It is one thing to be realistic, and post a model or analysis showing something that will end a well loved event, but another to piss on the cheer of others.

I am being realistic, radar isnt lying

From what I can gather, we will probably see a change over by tomorrow late morning or so. Im sure our overly conservative NWS office wouldnt have issued any alerts if a change over was to happen shortly. For those of you feel like this is nothing, not worth it, over before it started, take a break from the internet, and enjoy what little we have out there.

 

Now I am going to go back outside and see if I can sign my name in a parking lot with my tires.

Once the precip ends here tonight.  I won't see any rain til later tomorrow.

The 00z GFS shows a slight shift with the precipitation up to the north in the next few hours and it looks like that might be happening on the latest radar image. All I ask for is white ground and enough to make a snowball. I feel like that shouldn't be that hard to fulfill.

The low associated with this snow is currently heading ashore in Northern Oregon so there is no mechanism to warm up most of Western Washington until the next system gets close enough to give us Southerly flow tomorrow.

 

Current 925mb temps are plenty cold well offshore and South.

No reason to worry about minor temperature fluctuations over the next few hours. All about snow intensity tonight.

I guess that depends on what your perspective of shortly is. ;)  I am fine with the change over and not upset at all and agree it is tomorrow morning for change over. I have been totally spoiled and got more snow than some -- so am super happy with what I got.  I wish everyone could get some!! :)

Just went outside with my 8 month old son for his first true time in the snow. Very fun. Snowing at a good clip. Live in the middle of a big hill and could already hear cars tires spinning. If the WSW comes to fruition, which I don't think we'll get 3-6, it could be a rough morning to try and get to work.

 

Only about an inch here so far.

1" here too

Loved the comment and the signature idea. Just drove back from Bellevue. In Bellevue the snow was just barely sticking when we left. Des Moines area they had about half an inch. In Tumwater it was a little over an inch. Here about 5 more miles south of Tumwater there is a good 3 inches on the ground and it is snowing hard at the moment with large flakes. The snow is much wetter than the little skiff we had Thursday night.

Kids are all outside making snow angels and having snowball fights.. A Wonderful sight!! :) the thing that made the snow extra special is this is the first time I did not talk about it before the event and just let them be surprised. It has been fun to just let them enjoy it and let whatever we get be a surprise too.

I think its done moving your way... you are about to see the whole thing move off to the east on the SEA radar.    Check out the coastal radar.

Look at the Seattle radar carefully... It seems like the northern portion is moving to the west at this point.

 

 

This event is about to wind down... the returns off the coast faded.
