  1. Catching a few stray tiny flakes here at the moment
  2. Looks like snow is done here. 30.4F at the moment. Nice.
  3. Switched to ZR here for now. Hopefully it changes back soon
  4. Sparse flakes starting in town. My parents in Sudden Valley said things are starting to turn white.
  5. Went to check out (frozen) Nooksack Falls earlier. Soooo sick.
  6. None for us, thankfully! Sounds like it was a sprinkler pipe in the attic. We woke up to the fire alarm but I was pretty sure I knew what it was because the same thing happened winter of 21-22. I took a walk around the building just in case and water was rushing down four floors of balconies.
  7. I had a graupel shower around 10:30 that turned everything white but has since melted. Hoping we can squeeze a few phat flakes out on the south side of town today!
  8. Apparently my mom got some snow in sudden valley a bit ago. I said pics or it didnt happen and she said "it stopped" so who knows.
  9. About 2 hours ago I heard the loudest thunder that I can remember here since fall of 2019. Honestly couldn't even remember the last time I had heard any here between now and then. We got about 5 minutes of heavy/slushy hail that turned everything white and then BOOM. My girlfriend said she was able to see the lightning on the east side of town. A fellow ex-Texan coworker and I had a good giggle thinking back on what hail meant there!
  10. Winter wonderland is holding on a bit better at my parent's house in Sudden Valley. About 500'
  11. Breathtaking. Imagine how much cooler (no pun intended) that area would be if the mountains got that much snow on the reg.
  12. I think we took this pic just a few miles south of Smokey Pt actually! Closer to Quil Ceda. Only got heavier from there until we hit the Skagit line. Looked like I was driving with my brights on with the snow rates and how fat the flakes were!
  13. The remnants from last night. Was a snow globe when I went to bed at 4. Surprised people didnt score more last night with the way the roads were around Everett and Marysville-Stanwood. I guess a quick melt is to be expected this time of year. 37 and wet snow now. Also bonus vid from the drive home from Seatac last night. 20230228_015425.mp4
  14. Girlfriend and I made it to Seatac from ABQ around 11. The drive back to Bham was white knuckle for the majority of the trip. The snow around Everett and then north of Marysville around Randy was f****** insane. Easily the worst visibility ive experienced as far as highway driving in the snow goes. I usually actually enjoy driving in snow but its less fun at night when its coming down like that. 34 at home right now and mostly dry. Wasnt as much snow in the Chuckanut pass as i thought there would be. Hopefully we get at least dusting over the next few hours.
  15. I remembered you mentioning living in the high desert as a kid. Couldnt remember if it was NM or UT. This was our first time visiting the area and certainly wont be the last. The diversity of landscapes in such a relatively small space was incredible. Valles Caldera/the whole Jemez Mts drive was a big highlight along with the Tsankawi site. Also had no idea about the history of Los Alamos before driving through. Was definitely not expecting a government checkpoint heading up into the park lol.
  16. Off topic but we all love snow. A pic from the Jemez mountains to the west of Santa Fe NM this weekend. Absolutely beautiful. Got to experience heavy snow mixed with dust with temps above 40° and 60+ MPH gusts yesterday too, pretty neat!
  17. Squalicum Mt to the northeast of downtown Bham has properties going up to around 1,500'. Highest I can think of in western Whatcom.
  18. Down to 25 IMBY. Today was the kind of cold that makes you want to punch your steering wheel, but I still had a good time. The sunny skies/higher sun angles juxtaposed with the extreme wind and cold was pretty cool to see.
