afternoon FV3 run going with 8-12" in seattle, at least 6" for most of the sound region

d**n!  That basically put Bainbridge at ground zero on the sound. There aren't enough plows on the island to handle that.  That is 20" here.  How did this model do with totals last weekend?

Let us dive into a top-tier, multi-week arctic blast that buries us in endless snow opportunities!

 

 

 

Seem ironic that this is where we are going???

SEA is up to 36 now with sun.

 And still just a nice crisp 32 a few miles away.

00z gives Seattle 10" by 10 AM Saturday with lots more to come. Just amazing North of Tacoma.

If this happens as it’s been showing it will be interesting to watch. I’ve never lived on the island during a bid snowfall. East Brem in 2008 and that was pretty shut down. I can only imagine what Bainbridge will be like.

Much more snow in King County than the 00Z run on Monday morning...

 

Lock this.  Its early enough for a good reason to work from home.  And, by that I mean watch it snow. 

Not sure. few inches in Seattle proper. I had about 5 but also 55mph north winds. That was the strongest outflow in my area since December 1990. The low crossed from ocean shores to Olympia then east. Not a huge snow event but  very dynamic storm.

I haven't even posted here this winter but have been reading all year long, as usual.  I want to chime in about November 2010.  That was a crazy storm.  It was real cold and still and snowing powdery, small flakes.  A few inches accumulated and then all at once the wind hit like a bomb.  It was dark outside, but the living room window went white from the dry snow blowing off the roof, and then within 5 minutes the power was out and it got cold as F quick.  That was one to remember for sure.  Lived in East Bremerton at the time.

This is crazy.  I am having the heaviest snowfall of the year right now and I am not even under radar returns.

Wow dude.  I doubt I that am many actual miles from you but I am at dp of about 25.  That sucks.

 

It is snowing here and the temp has started back down.  Pretty big flakes.

Ignore this comment WSmet.  I thought you were Wxmet.  Honestly, an easy mistake

39F DP 35F and Southerly gusting 20+ what do I expect? Nothing

Wow dude.  I doubt I that am many actual miles from you but I am at dp of about 25.  That sucks.

It is snowing here and the temp has started back down.  Pretty big flakes.

Yeah, nice for central and northern King County on this run. 

 

 

The next system

 

I hope Kitsap does better than that.

I was thinking about Phil last night. Found it interesting he went MIA. But I just think Tim pulled a super **** move last night. I think we all know that was intentional. Tim is a good guy I think, he seems to be a great family man and adds a lot to this forum at times. But coming on here while everyone was celebrating and cherry picking a model run that really has no support from anything else. It was kind of ridiculous. 

I have been reading these forums for about ten years, and he has always tried his best to piss in peoples Cheerios and then temper it with the helpful little smiley emoji.      This one.  Thankfully he doesn't anger me anymore.  I read his helpful posts, and gloss over the faintly disguised trolling.

I’m right on the leading front of the moisture on the radar, and it’s already snowing here. No problem sticking neither. East Bainbridge. Island

Its a slow moving slider that stalls the precip for some time. These can be very good.

What time does it show it starting up at?

Interesting to look at all the wind obs and get an idea where convergence is. South wind at bremerton then many dead calm observations before you find some blowing from north. And now bremerton is calm. Action will move south now. Still thinking is misses most of kitsap.

I am hoping I am far enough East to catch some.  I'm about a 1/4 mile north of the ferry terminal, and up about 125'.  Dp is still 27 here.

FWIW. That shows rain near Victoria with 850mb temps of -12. Probably off just a little.

I am liking that is showing all snow over Kitsap.

Another two things to note, the grass has noticeably greened up and also definite growth. And I saw my first mosquito of the year this morning as well!!

Plenty of frogs back in action near my place.  Sounded like spring the last couple of evenings.

50 at PDX

44 on Bainbridge Island,,,,with lots of frogs active this morning.

I would take this

 

This would be interesting.  I have a condo on the beach in Lincoln City during this exact period.  

Back in December 2008, when you had the cold and snow outbreak, we had a low elevation snow event in Socal where I saw snow on parts of the Santa Ana Mountains (in eastern Orange County) where I had never seen snow before. This cold outbreak you just had, the weather remained much warmer than normal as everything is simply going toward the east.

 

I'm hoping for a pattern change that will benefit the entire west and brings much needed rain and snow to areas that really need it.

 Hi Dan.  I don't even know if you can get up there anymore, but there used to be a dirt road up to the to of Saddleback.  I played in snow up there one year in the boy scouts.  Had to be mid to late Seventies.  I moved away from there years ago, but I have seen dustings up there several times in the Seventies and early Eighties  

Maybe time to look out window and watch radar?? Just a thought. It is coming.

That's what I am doing.  I am interested to see how the moisture acts when it starts to hit the coast.  That and traffic cam viewing later.  Gonna be a fun day I hope.  Today is our Christmas dinner.  If it is snowing this afternoon, that will be magic.

Dewpoint of 13 right now at SEA. 

 

I think the models underestimated how dry the air would be going into this event and are just catching up now.  

 

Typical problem around here... air mass is too dry for precipitation.   

Not that low over here...

FWIW the hrrr is pretty dry and has a double barrel low one on the central Oregon coast. It actually shows the first band being snow for pdx. Hardly any precip over the sound through the next 18 hours.

You truly do not want us to get snow, do you?  Wow.  Merry Christmas to you too.

As i posted earlier, Tuesday looks interesting. 

Not a fan of that dry slot over the North county, but at least it does show some on the south end of bainbridge, where I am.  It's close, that's all I can hope for at this time.

I feel old, Iron Maiden the number of the beast is 35 years old lol!! 

Saw that tour!  Those guys kick a**, especially for old men!

The northern Olympic peninsula is going to get buried. I bet places near Pa have over a foot on ground on christmas.

That sounds like a good reason to take a drive.  We are blending our families and having dinner with our kids on the 24th.  Plenty of free time after that.  Christmas after a divorce is strange.  Just glad I found an improved model to replace the divorced one.
