Fircrest

Snow is wrapping up here looks like.  My wife has been wrapping presents also.

After today, Cliff Mass will be even more tired of this, haha.

Definitely in a great spot here.  Continues to snow and accumulate, though it's a very wet snow and the roads are quite slushy 

Has the NWS not issued any advisories yet? Or did I miss it...

When it was 39 this morning and a rain snow mix, I figured there wouldn't be much today.  Well, appear to be in a sweet spot now with heavy wet snow and about an inch of accumulation n Fircrest.

Friday the 16th looks pretty dope 

I love snow, but not on that day.  We are flying out of SeaTac to Palm Springs then and I don't want cancellations or delays!

Yes... house divided as they say.    They were both at the Apple Cup in Pullman so it was actually pretty quiet at our house that day.   They are good natured about it.   And my UW son often says he wishes his college experience could have been in Pullman instead of Seattle because of the small town environment.

My daughter and her boyfriend both graduated from UW this year.  He is a triplet and he and his brother went to UW but their sister went to WSU.  In fact she is still there as a 5th year senior. They were all at the Apple Cup this year.  What a game!

I’m glad I checked out as it just didn’t stick here…..Sad Panda. 
just crazy your so close to me and my area didn’t perform. I bet if I drive up 320th a mile east it’s all white…..crazy stuff 

34* with a dp 29
 

It never really did much here in Fircrest either.  Watching the snow line on radar and checking real world conditions of course, I could pretty much tell it wasn't my night.  So I got a lot of sleep.  Looks like there was some slushy accumulation on the car's windshield, but that was it.   Overall a very fun week!

You will. I already turned to snow north of Federal Way

Not sure about that.  Hope so, but it's still raining and 37 with a dewpoint of 33.

37 and raining.  Don't think it's going to snow here tonight.

Didn't Alaska have a bunch of issues over the summer too? Seems like they need to get their stuff together. Everyone acts like Alaska is so great, but they are incredibly expensive, and don't seem to be super reliable. 

We love Alaska Airlines, have used them many times and never had a problem.  The rewards program is one of the best in my opinion and we have taken several mostly free flights and used the companion ticket to save money over the years.

As others have noted, there’s something about sun on snow…

So gorgeous!  What a view and so many amazing sunsets this year!

I thought there was some kind of ordinance that prohibited people from cutting them down there. 

No, 3 big ones were just cut down around the corner from us 2 weeks ago.  People get nervous about windstorms I guess...

The 18z GEFS is jumping on that next possible cold snap for next weekend (not this coming weekend).  The mean dropped from -2.3 on the 0z to -6.7 on the 18z.  Strong signal for that far out.

This can't continue...I am spending way too much time on this forum

And we still have a lot of Fir trees in Fircrest, though people keep cutting them down.

It was pretty snowy at my work place in South Tacoma this morning near the STAR Center.  Not snowing now.

My clumping bamboo is starting to sag...

Updated pic with lights on.

Looking good here! 

All snow now at Fircrest/UP border.  Tonight should be fun!

Nothing in South Tacoma where I am currently.  Not even raining. Hoping for more snow than we had yesterday.  Somewhat jealous of those scoring up north, but everyone will eventually get their turn.

That is such an awesome win! My wife and I and both of our kids are UW grads.  Husky Family!
