Rubus Leucodermis

I can confirm it's definitely mixing with rain on Bainbridge Island now.

5.5" storm total so far. Precip rate has really dropped and what's falling is becoming increasingly slushy. Unless the precip rate picks up, it's probably transition time soon. Ah, well, it was fun while it lasted. I'm at 21.9" for the month.

Yes, and that's starting to create outages when branches break or bend across power lines. This afternoon I spent some time whacking ornamental small trees and shrubs with a broom handle. Some of the branches sprang up several feet after I relieved them of their snow load!

Feb 2019 is now Seattle's snowiest month in 50 years. https://twitter.com/NWSSeattle/status/1095135473675239425

Welcome to the party!

33˚F, snowing hard and continuously, 1.5" in the past hour, 4.3" storm total, 20.7" for the month (and counting).

1.2" in the past hour, 2.8" storm total, 18.9" monthly total.

Sweet Jesus, I think it's dumping even harder than it did last night. But— big chicken feather flakes say transition is probably not that far off.

Stay on the east side of the Salish Sea, please, brown warm nose!

Since the current event began: 1.6" In the past 24 hours: 6.5" So far this month: 18.0"

10 inches here, and really dumping. About 1" or so new.

Heavier snow has finally made it up to Bainbridge. Now I can be optimistic about picking up a few inches at least before the likely changeover. Might I break the 20" mark for the month? It's under 4" away!

Really small flakes and 35˚F here. Surprised it hasn't changed to drizzle yet. None of the stronger radar echoes seem to be making it much beyond Tacoma. If this continues, it could stay snow at Olympia in the heavier precip but change over to drizzle or light rain in Seattle.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Langley Hill radar look like it's showing the low coming in a little south of Hoquiam? And isn't that further south than forecast?

I certainly feel well-compensated for missing out on the Jan 2017 storm!

I hope you're right. I'm at 16.4" for the month right now. Breaking 20" doesn't seem that much a stretch, but mid-high 20s would be even more epic. And if I get there, there's a chance another stray event (a possibility, since we'll still be in a cold pattern) could get me above 30". And if not, it's been a pretty darn good month already, considering that three of four weeks ago I was bummed about what I then saw as the likely prospect of a no-snow winter.

Up to 35˚F in very light snow on Bainbridge. I sense a slushmageddon approaching… .28" of moisture in last night's 4.9" of snow, amazingly dry for this area.

Snowing again on Bainbridge.

If you read the forecast discussion, they freely admit that it's basically impossible to predict where the exact line will be, and that it's likely the forecast will have to be revised, particularly for King and Kitsap counties. A mostly rain event, and all-snow event, or a roughly even split between rain and snow are all within the realm of possibility.

27˚F this morning. Did some cold air sneak in from the north? No ZR, no sleet here: all snow, all of it before 19:30 last night, most of it between 17:30 and 19:30, 4.9" new snow from this system.

That snow band missed you? Too bad. I was bummed out about being dry slotted for 8 hours Friday (then the snow bands reconfigured and I got dumped on all night). I guess that's biasing me into assuming the storm might go further south than forecast. It wouldn't take much to do it. Busts happen, and being a little off on the storm track doesn't usually attract much interest because it's usually just all rain regardless.

Snow stats: KSEA has received 3.5" so far tonightNow at 14.1" and counting for the monthSnowiest February since records started being kept at the airportSnowiest month at KSEA in 33 years (yes, snowier than December 2008).

4.9" total after exiting the snow band. Not bad for a storm forecast to deliver "1 to 4 inches"!

Many models have actually been showing this. The snow/rain line will have a SW-to-NE tilt to it, so areas to the west of the Salish Sea will see snow further to the south than areas to the east of it. Expect any and all of: rain, freezing rain, snow, and sleet.

Party is basically over here. Radar echoes are almost done passing over me. Was fun while it lasted, gave me a quick 4+".
