And yet, it won't. Only stronger

MINIMUM .40" ice accretion.

Tacoma and Seattle

It can, the more leaved they are the more surface area for ice to build up. A lot of trees around the area are still fully leaved, I would expect quite a bit of tree damage in the coming days.

Oh, I DO and I'm not looking forward to it at all. Any accretion over .20" really exacerbates any already existing "issues". Roads, trees, power infrastructure are F****ED if these amounts come to pass. Anyone who thinks they'll be able to do anything is in store for a reality check. Don't even think about trying to get over the passes. Ice does not discriminate.

Rod Hill?

This you buddy?

Is there a weak meso-low in the western strait? Would explain some of the higher based CU east of there.

Was it Keely Chalmers?

We're they related to Jim "Stormin' Foreman (formerly of King5)?

IIRC UW/Atmo-sci radar uses a full 1.0° tilt and is likely picking up mid levels. 0.5°/T shows very little, even up near the strait. The darker, more widespread pixels are more than likely clutter or surface based noise.

If only the GFS had a modicum of sanity. Going with the ECMWF on ZR.

Sustained 58-67mph, gusts over 85+

That's just fuckkin' insane

RIP, Allyn, Grapeview, Lilliwaup, etc.

1/3" ice accretion? Holyshit.

Sounds like (no confirmation), WB SR-520 is a sheet of ice. Possibly waiting on deicing equip?

Yup

Additionally, stiff SW breeze at 14mph (warm as f***-all right now)

What an EPIC FAIL. Not a single goddamn flake all night. Nothing. A lot of folks are gonna be pissed at the so-called "storm". This s*** was hyped big by local outlets and had people running around like crazy. Yes, NWS did state there would be a line of demarcation so to speak, but holyshit, what a complete dud.

Yikes (if true) Most temps around West Seattle are low/mid 30's

If this storm ends up being a flop, ooh boy.

Boooooo
