That was from this! I put some makeup on it but is was quite an impressive cell in the middle of lots O blue sky! It was bubbling good  

Awesome picture. It completely snuck up on me this afternoon. This picture was from 430ish in Seatac

I mean I feel like I have heard they are almost done with i5 in Tacoma for the last 5-6 years but this recent article claims they are working on the 14th of 14 “major projects” now. Claims to be done with the project in fall 2021  

I feel like the i5 Tacoma construction completion directly correlates with hour 384 arctic air. Keeps pushing back to 384 when it gets close

I was going to say I can’t believe how people cancel then Uncancel winter whenever the models ebb and flow from run to run 8-10 days out. Then I remembered that I do this  

I expect some typical flip flopping the next few days. When we are 3-4 days out I will officially release my vote for cancel or uncancel (and I will still probably be wrong)

here’s to hoping for some cold and some snow

I had a place up there back in 12/13 winter.  That place is probably one of if not the snowiest locations west of the cascades at 1000 feet. This pic here was a 18 hr snowfall. Back in February 1994 they had about 6 feet in 3 days and had to chopper people out. 

Insane!! Yes it is a true snow belt. I always keep my eye out for the forecast up there and try to head over when possible for good snows. Have seen golf ball size(rough estimate ) wet heavy snow on a couple occasions, 8” in late March among other fun snow storms. Beatiful and tranquil area

History says that was a once in 50 year snow for some places. It was the deepest snow for a large part of kitsap and Mason County since 1968 69.

The depth of snow at upper lake cushman during the feb 2019 event was mind boggling. Dug my grandparents out a few days after the last big snow and there was well over 2 feet of snow cover at their house at 990 feet even after some compacting. Fun times/memories. Hell I even got 8” that one night at my place in fife at 13 feet elevation lol. I figured it was a one in 25-30 year event at minimum but didn’t know it went back 50+ years!
