A nice day for a newborn. Here's bellevue from a delivery room. I'll keep yall posted

Ummm we had our first freeze… School delay, and 1.5” of snow.

Happy Thanksgiving I just wanted to wish you all a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday. I'm glad the weather will be cooperating for all of your travel destinations. This year it's very bittersweet since my brother suddenly passed this past June. It's just my Mother and I. That's my entire family now. It will be very scaled back. It gives me clearer perspective and appreciation for her more than ever and I'll need that. It's going to be rough. I also wanted to mention as tacky as it might sound? but I am thankful for this weather forum, all of the model riding, discussions, differing personalities, and humor. Definitely humor. Make the best of this holiday, and make new, lasting memories. Now let's get some Cold and SNOW! C'MON!!!!

Phantom snow has begun!

Made it to the cabin. Fire is stoked, beer, pizza, ready for the snow storm tomorrow. 10 to 16 inches forecast for Winthrop. Lot of friends thought I was crazy to drive over from the west side for one night but I wanted to be here for the first big snow fall. Going to watch football tomorrow and enjoy the day and head home after dinner.

I’m blown away.

Best birthday present possible.

As others have noted, there’s something about sun on snow…

I'm here in Sweden this week where it is cold, dark, snowy and windy but beautiful! This shot was taken around 2pm yesterday.

16 new with 20-24 on ground. Wind was 30 mph lastnight and 21 degrees. Very powerful storm.

Holy *** thunder snow here !!!

8-9 Inches now

1000 feet elevation in Vancouver.

Between 8-12 inches up here. This is strawberry mt about 5 miles from property, there's cell service here. So far snow hasn't been to heavy up here but omak area is getting blasted. Looks like the heavier stuff will be tonight up here. 24 degrees. It was 14 when I arrived at cabin lastnight.

50 years old today!!! CRAP

Snow still falling at my place. 32.9°.

18" in 12 hours and still dumping. Saturday- Monday storm is supposed to be snowier! great start to winter

Not trying to rub it in for people who weren't so lucky. Life had been tough lately so it's nice to feel happy. At 50 years old it's still magical to see it snow.

Looking good here in Mountlake Terrace this morning. Kids are excited for recess and we spent this morning looking at the radar and weather models so they could make predictions for what they think will happen.

Christmas tree up. It is allowed to snow now.

Pretty cool Kelvin-Helmholtz wave cloud over the Bridger Mountains last night.

Getting some holy sh*t snow here.

Can’t beat blue skies and snow

Done. Get you a badass rain gauge… Stratus Precision Rain Gauge with Mounting Bracket (14" All Weather) https://a.co/d/7iLbqMC

You ask and you shall receive!

That's awful I am sorry. I lost my Dad 10 years ago to ALS. A horrific evil disease. Where has time gone. A decade? It's like we've been living in an alternative universe. Lost my brother in June. Still not coping with it. I'm 50 myself, and it just puts everything in a very clear perspective. This holiday season is rough, just have my Mother who sadly is declining now I think my brother passing has just taken too big of a toll on her. I see her fading every day with her memory and so on. It's killing me. Trying to be positive and had my nephew here today to decorate the house for Christmas. Thankfully all three of us were in good spirits today, enjoying each other, trying to make the best of it all. I just don't know and the future is very depressing. Since June I have been just very lost and destroyed. I have to find joy in life again somewhere. Thankful for this weather forum, all you weather geeks and geekstresses, and of course my PDX WX Analysis group on Facebook. I enjoy all of that tremendously and it is also a good distraction from things.

Band is parked right over us. Getting a bit snowy!

Not snowing here currently.... but the snow yesterday evening sure flocked the trees nicely going into the cold and dry period coming up.

Dumping!!

It's now time to ignore models for today. Check data from stations around the area. i like to watch Shelton and Olympia out towards the coast to get a good idea. Snow in Aberdeen is always a good sign for the sound. When the coast switches to rain it normally takes 3-6 hrs for that switch to reach the south sound.

Just finished a conference call with Cliff Mass,, JAYA, Jim, Tim, Jesse, Rich Marriott, Tim’s crappy shed, Kevin Martin, CliffMassYelledAtMe, Russell Wilson, and DomeBuster. That was sure awkward. However everyone is now onboard except for Cliff Mass and Tim’s shed. It’s coming.

2.5 inches overnight, first measurable snow for the season? I’ll take it! Should make a great base for the main event this week.

Throughout much of the morning and into the early afternoon, we kept getting very heavy hail storms! It was cool! By early afternoon, everything on the ground, roofs, and more were white.

Long time lurker here, decided to make an account and interact. This week will definitely be one hell of a ride!

No shortage of snow in the mountains above the Coquihalla highway. Snowshoed up to 5800 feet and measured over 50 inches of snow.

Storm has just begun here. It looks to continue with very few breaks in the snowfall through Thursday morning. Thanks to some 20:1 even 30:1 snow ratios I'm probably looking at 12-18" by the time all is said and done. Currently 15F with moderate snow.

Just woke up to this. 5-10 inches today and 2-4 tonight. And areas north will get more. The 3 guys with cabins are getting clobbered. Best part is it sticks around awhile. It's even possible if we get enough that we won't see the grass again until. March. That doesn't usually happen until early December. Temps may warm up enough during the day to limit accumulation. If not we could get more than advertised. Either way snow this early is a bonus

Getting the old snow plow truck ready.

Some of the heaviest snow I’ve ever seen. 1/4” in 10 minutes.

Just caught up on stuff. Thundersnow!!! Wow!!! Currently a wet non-sticking snow and a skiff on the grass from this morning. 34F with an east wind. Tomorrow night is rapidly evolving into something potentially very special for the Seattle area. Fellow 'Sounders, this could be not only the event of the week but if all things go right, we may be looking back on it as the event of the season. Lots of moisture to work with, stable, reliable dynamics, plenty of time to squeeze it all out, the temperatures to support it all as sticking snow, and actual precedents to compare it to (unlike today!) Of course it could all go south but the potential is great. I'm cautiously excited!

Check out the newest edition, including an enlightening chapter on why it never snows in the PNW thanks to permanently warm ground temps.

Started sprinkling at work with those marginal showers, so I quickly took an elevator up to the top floor around 500' up. Sure enough, it was snowing.. Camera does not pick up on the flakes at all. They were mostly melted anyways, and this was taken during a brief lull. Facing NW towards Queen Anne hill from Westlake.

Sent by a friend who lives in Cannon Beach and has a paid subscription to a model site in a parallel universe where the GFS snow maps are accurate.

Had to feed the animals before bed. Cloudy and 31.5 currently.

First dusting of snow in Kuna ID! Currently 34 and snowing.
