A bit over 3/4" as the grass is almost covered. Not bad. More than I expected.

I have just over 1 1/2" on grassy surfaces now I am impressed. Bring on more of this! Merry Christmas!

It's the kind of crisp, clear weather where shaded areas (and due to the low sun angle there are lots of perpetually shaded areas) stay cold and frosty 24/7 and the frost builds night after night. Taken in Stanley Park this afternoon. The park, having a lot of marine influence due to being on the tip of a peninsula, got nowhere near as much snow as my neighbourhood did, but the last few days have really allowed a frost hollow to develop in the wetlands surrounding Beaver Lake.

Christmas lights In snow are the best. 32 degrees with a dew point of 32. Light rain currently

Legit snow now looks like a snow globe outside!

A friend of my fiancee was up near steel Bridge on the south slope of the Olympics to go play in the snow and the 2 big storms dropped about 44 inches of snow! This is 800ft elevation. Incredible! Lake cushman got 3 feet last week.

Looks like PDX recorded a whopping 0.1” of snow today, which apparently is a daily record. We took a drive up Prune Hill this afternoon (700’) and there were a few inches on the ground, with temps near or just below freezing. So close to a widespread 1-2” in the metro area.

Santa says y’all better get your affairs in order before January…

Radar shows all the precip north of here… but it is snowing a bit. I’m like Mossman, I’ll take whatever I can get.

Coming down.

That big warm up on the ECMWF yesterday for next weekend is completely gone now. Very nice.

Snowing!

Temp 30.6° DP 29.3° woke up to a light dusting. Wasn't expecting that.

This falls in just 2 days.

My phone just reminded me of last December.

Snoopy snow.

Maybe done, maybe not. A lull right now though. Here is the scene.

Wow. Was not really expecting it to be this bad. Had a friend spin through an intersection on 23rd and Shaw halfway up to south hill, so my wife went to pick her up in our Pathfinder while I was out plugging up holes in our crawl space, and she spun through the same intersection! It’s now snow over a sheet of ice. Be careful out there. I’m walking to go get them and see if I can get the car back safely to our house. Almost an inch already. Roads were clear prior, but other surfaces still had a bit of accumulation that hadn’t melted.

I need this thing to over perform and get me out of an inlaws bday party in Seattle today. Cmon!!!!

This means blocking in the sweet spot more likely than not for the indefinite future. This wintertime -ENSO atmospheric response is the strongest since 2016-17.

Thanks NWS SEA for not putting out a winter weather advisory lol. My brother is stuck out in south hill rn. This snow really caught people off guard.

My wife says it looks like feathers falling from the sky or that someone is having a pillow fight over our house. Photos taken in order.

All snow now.

Moderate snow here. Temp down to 34 after hanging out around 38-39 all night. Already have a nice coating of white.

Walked down the driveway to check the conditions of the main road....

Hope it continues cause it is sticking up here. And on Dixie Mountain too (pics from there)!

Live look out my front door!

Kuchera

Been lightly snowing for about an hour here in Richmond neighborhood. Starting to accumulate on grass. Long ways out from sticking to the roads but it's nice to see. Glad to see paltry euro precip totals have pretty much busted already. 3k GRAF has 1.8" here now starting from 10:30

Snow coming down fast enough that I cannot count the flakes! 31.6* with a DP of 30.4*!

Boom just like that, light snow and 37 degrees. The dewpoint is doing its magic today, no rain, no sleet just light snow.

Snow just started up here. Temp at 37.

Moderate and larger flakes. It's awesome! Streets now turning white. Here we go!

Ok, heavier than last night. This is awesome!!!! Whiteout basically.

It’s over.

Dumping south of Chehalis on I-5...

We need a region wide event. This have and have not stuff gets tiring.

Lovely day to cut down a tree! 34/25 on the day. Currently 30.2 Zero melting today!

The snow blower is fun!! This electric unit will throw even wet snow 40-50 ft.

Stickage

When it was 39 this morning and a rain snow mix, I figured there wouldn't be much today. Well, appear to be in a sweet spot now with heavy wet snow and about an inch of accumulation n Fircrest.

It’s absolutely dumping here now and streets are turning white.

Looks spectacular in the swamp of Puyallup! Rare is the day when both Randy and I are getting owned by the swamp.

Day 9'er Wow! Heck of a trough!

In a set up like this things can sometimes reform in the same place for a long time, where the band decides to park.

Oregon snow pack off to a good start.

I've already had more snow than that shows. The models are useless for this event today.

Temp: 34.5(Falling), Dewpoint: 28.0 with light snow. It looks like a snow globe outside! Gusty east wind. Ground is now starting to turn white.

Despite having no snow the heavy frost adds a nice wintry trim to things. I hope all you southerners get a good helping of snow today! 26 after a low of 23.5
