I used to have a place on north dow mountain drive. It was a nice little place right off the road. 

That’s funny that’s exactly where I am right now. About 3 lots off 119 

We have been fogged in at my house nonstop for the last 4-5 days. I live just south of Bonney Lake at 700’

1/22 36.5/27.0

1/23 36.7/28.2

1/24 34.5/28.6

1/25 34.7/29.7

today high of 33.8 and already down to 32.0 I’ll take it as it’s plummeted my monthly average to 39.2

last two days my work in SeaTac has shaken the fog. The thick fog starts about a mile from my house on the way home every day

My uncle sent me a few pictures today. He lives about 500 feet higher than cle run in the hills out there. They’ve lived there for about 5 years so they are accustomed to tons of snow but even he had to shake his head at this amount. Over 60” in 7 days

All those trucks and nowhere to go…

I work in the heavy duty truck industry and to say it’s a mess would be an understatement. I have customers with trucks trapped all over

Lake cushman station showing 8.46” of rain since midnight now 🌧 I know they’ve cracked 10” in a day before, looks like they will today

EDIT other stations showing 2-4” I’m not believing this. Possible but unlikely

2.26” since midnight in south Bonney Lake. Can you tell when the south wind hit by this chart

also lake cushman showing a ridiculous 5.92” of rain since midnight. Still 37 degrees up thereThat one isn’t my station so not sure if it includes any snow melt but wow gotta be a mess up there today

Wow!

I can't even tell for sure what that car is. It's a Subaru...Crosstrek or Outback?

@jakerepp Outback wilderness edition. Need everyone one of the 9” clearance to get out of here today

I was hoping you would check in.  I used to live up there and that area can flat out get crazy. In 2012 we got 23 inches one night from 9pm to 7am. There was 35 on the ground. What is the total depth?

@MR.SNOWMIZER it quickly condensed but I would say close to 30” depth now after last night. Love it up here wish I could spend a few more days!

Changed from a borderline freezing rain to a sleet storm here at lake cushman. Snow mixing in more and more. Should get some intense bands here towards 3-4pm

By the way I saw this picture on line and it made me think of a few of you weenies future ex wife

A mostly snow yet rain/snow mix here at lake cushman 980’. Temp hovering around 33. I’m expecting it to change to snow as the day continues but the GFS is calling for over 2 feet by tomorrow 10am. I doubt that but I do expect a solid snow when the front finally makes it was through this evening. The trees lost a ton of snow last night as the temp stayed in the 33-34 range all night. 

Out at lake cushman for a day or 2. 19” on the ground and you can tell it has condensed quite a bit. Will be interesting if it stays as snow tomorrow out here

What gives.! Is there a heater over Fife?

The answer is yes. That’s why I moved to south Bonney Lake. Went from 23’ elevation to 698’ this will be my first winter at the new place so I’m hoping for some

Forum mood improvement 

I might have picked the right time to visit Bend! I hope everyone gets hammered but I’m starting to get a bit excited for what awaits me next week. I am assuming the ratio out there should be a bit higher than 10:1. Especially when it shows decent precip with temps in the teens and below  

Well I fortunately have a planned visit to bend to visit the in laws Wednesday through Monday. Might be my saving grace for cold. It is the in laws though so I was hoping for a nice arctic front and cold to keep me from having to go  

Or maybe I’m thinking 2008. All a blur from 2007-2012

Probably overdue for an ice storm here. 

I was thinking the same a couple weeks ago. Was it 2012 that we had the big region wide one. They started saying 0.1” of ice then moved it to .25 and then to .5 and I think it ended up being .6-.7 when all was said and done in the south sound area. Obviously widespread damage with those amounts

Well it is looking bleak. Living at 20’ elevation in fife makes it easier to accept a snowless to near snowless winter. 
 

In positive news...my wife and I have just finalized a new build home in Tehaleh in Bonney lake at 707 feet. Drove up there today just to confirm elevation. Should be ready to move in by September. I’ll be ready for next winter! 
 

My wife wanted a newer house in puyallup but I told her I ain’t moving unless it’s at 500 feet or higher in elevation. She listened!!

Poor Tacoma. 

My fellow swamp mates and I believe this map might be a true representation of reality!!
