It never ceases to amaze me how many ways this ******* place can get screwed over.  Never thought of this being a shadow situation.

Yeah I'm here in Auburn near Pacific Raceways. I got excited when I heard some heavy rain just a bit ago but by the time I'd pulled up the radar to check it had already passed and there's nothing in line any time soon. Feels like the good stuff always goes West or East and I'm stuck in the middle

Feels like it's getting close here in the Auburn valley. The sky definitely has some "depth" to it and as I watch inbound flights to SeaTac they look to be obscured by some virga that clears from south to north. I like the timing given that it is cooling and dusk is approaching.

I live by Safeway on Kent Kangley, I'm sure we're pretty close. 

Checking in from just around the corner of Green River College

Coming down hard now in Auburn. Finally sticking to cars. Doorbell camera at home on the East Hill/Lea Hill shows that grass and rooftops are covered

Snow was/is coming down (heavy mix earlier, but lighter now) here near the Auburn airport, more or less at sea level. Temp has dropped almost 10 degrees in the last 2 hours. My view of the west hill of Auburn/Federal Way from my window here at work is obscured but it seems that I can see some white peeking through the wall of precip.

Here's the Auburn Airport weather station link to reference

Perfect illustration of how this week has gone so far. 

 

That band has been sitting there for at least the past hour... 5 miles away from my house (mouse pointer).

 

Five. Miles.  

 

Tell me about it. I'm just on the other side of 18 from Pacific Raceways and I've barely gotten an inch from each of the last two nights, which melted away both times. I can see the damned wall of clouds from my office window and I'm hating it

Here in Auburn near the North end of the airport and I've been watching a dark wall coming from the W/NW for the last couple hours. Just now starting to see the hills to the west beginning to look a bit fuzzy as I presume some light snow is starting to fall.

Yellow radar echoes heading this way.

Getting slushy accumulations on cars here across from the Auburn airport in the valley (56' elevation). Coming down very heavily right now!
