Chewbacca Defense

I wish I had a time lapse camera going, we had a beautiful sunrise in the making with it being clear down low, but a nice shelf of clouds to catch the pink/oranges of sunrise. I look outside 5 minutes later and it is socked in with fog, but its a dense but shallow layer so the fog is now glowing pink/orange.

Wow, that's impressive that you caught up. I've been taking a break for a couple of days, and when I came back and loaded the page last night I think it was around pg 189-190 or so.....this morning I decided to jump ahead to the current page as of this morning (page 248 for the record) but have been in meeting all morning, I see it is showing there are 253 pages (probably more since I haven't refreshed my browser in a while... CAN'T....KEEP....UP.....DROWNING....IN.....POSTS......SEND....HELP......

Actually in yesterday's video he said he was most likely going to check out the lava flows and see family.

So, I kinda checked out because it was getting too depressing for my neck of the woods…were we supposed to get snow up here today? Just went for a walk with the dog and was surprised by flurries. We have had a low thick cloud deck all afternoon but when I checked radar earlier there was nothing…..

I thought I had a dusting of snow here only to take the dog out and realize it was a crunchy layer of sleet. currently 31 IMBY

Bummer....we are sitting at 26 still here. If we can hold out for another hour or so we should be good with a midnight high of 27. Looks like KBLI is up to 28.

Yeah its really not that widespread...As has been seen all over the sound, it is extremely hit or miss, and a very atypical hit or miss pattern at that. For my neck of the woods, Bellingham got a brief dusting, they got snow out on the islands way before anything showed up in Whatcom/Skagit County thanks to the outflow. The models were showing a donut hole for Bellingham/SW Whatcom county monday night (or was it Tuesday, losing track) and I assumed it would be due to the moisture being eaten up by the outflow. Quite the opposite, we had plenty of moisture, but we lost the outflow. They got crazy snow up at the border where they held on to the cold, and down where Randy is at (but that is no surprise). Since then the moisture has been south. I'm stockpiling cardboard and tarps, I might have to go down and set up a homeless camp on a remote corner of Randy's property. Hopefully that's not near the tree that Phil insists is gonna fall any minute.

I'm guessing you are closer to the Burlington area, my son works in Hamilton and sent me a picture yesterday with about 3-4" on a picnic table outside their breakroom.

Temp dropping, it was 26 at 7am and is now down to 24 with the DP at 11 under filtered sun

26 with DP at 13. 0" accumulation of snow overnight but we did accumulate 18.3 miles per hour in wind gusts. We did have some thick freezing fog around 9-10 last night, glad the winds did kick that up to push that out and get rid of the ice that was starting to accumulate.

Current snow situation in Bellingham. currently 38 IMBY

Stayed between 36 and 40 all night, .04" of rain. My son's commute takes him to Hamilton, which is about 20 minutes or so east of Burlington. He starts his commute about 3:45-4am, and said he hit very heavy sleet starting in the canyon south of Bellingham and it finally switched to snow as he got to Lyman (right next to Hamilton).

39 here and solidly in the rain department. It's just crazy that it is puking snow 20 minutes to my north, about 30-40 minutes to my SOUTH, and lots of other places to my south...but just friggin rain here.

For whatever reason my area warms up really fast when these southerly pushes come through. I'm on the edge of the outflow "cone" so I am among the first to lose the Frasier outflow. Wind is still from the north here, but obviously the air is getting moderated from somewhere. It went from snow to full on rain in minutes. As Front Ranger pointed out, KBLI is still at 30, but they are in more in the center of the outflow "cone"

Wow, now up to 35. Got enough to turn the yard mostly white, but the show is over here. winds picking up as well

Up to 32 and switched over to rain

Thanks to the 21 degree low the pavement is NOT too warm

Business is picking up, temp heading the other direction, down to 29.7 IMG_4924.MOV

now flurrying here, temp 31, DP 21

nothing here yet, but I'm guessing soon...that said temp up to 31 with DP of 20

Seeing reports of snow in Lynden and Ferndale, temp up to 30 IMBY

Meanwhile we are getting filtered sunshine here in Bellingham, temp is 27, DP is 17

Looks like the moisture is still getting eaten up by the outflow up here. Good to see everyone down south scoring, especially places that weren't supposed to see anything. Currently 26 here.

Oh and we got down to 21.6 last night, currently 25 with a dewpoint of 17.

What in the f*ckity-f*ck-all-f*ck-f*ck-f*ck happened last night?!?!?!? I went to bed all fat dumb and happy with a winter storm watch (even though it looked like Bellingham was in a donut hole) and wake up to a f*cking WWA amd HWW for winds out of the E/SE?!?!?!?!?
