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

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

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.

Can’t beat blue skies and snow

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

IMO this event Tomorrow has the best chance of delivering a widespread event compared to the last 2 events. Plus It's my 50th Birthday!!

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

Wow IMG_0494.MOV

Nice to see much of the snow is still on the trees in my neighborhood and didn't fall off and melt so soon like it has frequently done in the past. And there seems to be more snow in my front yard then when I left for work this morning.

Another view that shows the depth better...

Love this shot earlier today from Nest cam with the sun out! 36/28 and currently 31*. Winds calm

All plowed out...

Still coming down!

A couple pics from the snow this afternoon down in Silverton that were posted on the community FB page. Nice to see some places in the Willamette Valley picking up some snow.

From my grandma in Buckley!

I called in today. I was able to use the excuse of my son's school district being closed.

A few shots moments ago

What an AMAZING GFS run. No idea if it pans out, but the cold N E V E R stops coming! Day 10-16

Close to 3” here in central Tacoma. Think there’s a bit less at my house but not too much less.

It continues Maintaining 32*

Wow! It went from mostly rain to sticking snow in 10 minutes.

It's the way I was raised, if it gets tough you get tougher. Keep your head up and keep moving forward. Never fall back fall forward.

It is snowing at my place now, of course I’m not there until late tonight. Sticking to non road surfaces.

Be awesome if everyone got a few inches Friday night before heading into the cool dry spell

Every time Tim mentions "dry" an angel gets its wings.

Just ain’t comin down hard enough to do anything I think. Our 530 alarm clock is happy about it though. IMG_3306.MOV

I am currently in Matt’s old stomping grounds! Good old Omak! The drive into town this evening was insane with massive blowing snow across the highway. Loving every minute of it!!

Map looks pretty light for hour 384 smh

I rarely post anything after Day 10, but given the GEM tonight looks so similar, here is Day 11.

Where is the dog photos?! (This was taken near Renton where there was less snow)

18Z ECMWF... the Sunday snow keeps inching northward.

Graupel and snow fun!!!

This has been an AWESOME almost Winter so far! Are you serious right now? There is so much more cold, arctic cold, and lowland snow opportunities on the way! Tons more snow pics and videos! C'MON!!!! 00z GFS in 4 hours 56 minutes 00z ECMWF in 7 hours 6 minutes

10pm tomorrow night looking really good for puget sound.

Cool pic from the valley floor in Issaquah... you can see how low the trees are flocked in background.

Sunday snow farther north on the 12Z ECMWF...

Friday night looks like a traditional overrunning event for Olympia North. Will be starting with a colder airmass and flow looks like it stays offshore the entire time. The Monkey wrench will be how much drying Develops east of the sound. A widespread 2-6 inches look like a solid estimate if things stay the same as the 12z runs today.

Impressive November for the region. BLI: Coldest since 1985, #4 all-time. SEA: Coldest since 1985 (barely beating out 1993), #6 all-time. OLM: Coldest since 1985, #2 all-time. EUG: Coldest since 2000, #6 all-time.

Coming down good here.

Friday night looking good

Snowing and 32.1. Got down to 28* at 1am…winds currently calm. Current Nest cam shot

31F and clear with about 0.5” of snow. Winter already looking good!!

Man I can't believe I am 50 years old tomorrow. The years just flew by. My wife has already been gone 6 years.

We got just under an inch with the snow showers this afternoon. Apparently they were alot heavier down around Silverton with the SE end of town getting a couple inches in a very short amount of time, there may have been something of a flash freeze as silly as that sounds because I guess there were multiple accidents on Silver Falls HWY and some of the side roads, according to the local FB page it is impossible to get off the hill right now due to pretty much all the roads out of the Silverton Hills being shut down due to accidents and disabled vehicles. Glad I decided to work from home today.

Went for a little walk and it is getting crunchy after a day of drips and drops. Gave myself a snow day and worked from home. Watched kids pulling their sleds down to our local sledding hill as school was cancelled. Just one of those magical days that looks like it is going to finish with a pretty sunset. Between Issaquah and Renton Highlands a little under 500 ft

Wow. Crazy dumpage. I think this was caused by convection. 20221201_151000.mp4

12Z ECMWF still showing an impressive Hood Canal event on Friday night into Saturday morning and the extent of the snow is farther east into the Seattle area on this run.

Here we go again!

I've picked up about another inch this morning. Looks like a nice area of snow east of OLM right now. Hard to tell how far west the snowfall from that will extend when it gets further north.
