just over 3 cm and under 1 1/2" here according to the notebook paper i used to measure snow.

Showers west of Aberdeen will get their act together.

Man Seattle airports are stubborn... They do not want to go below freezing tonight.

Give it a couple hours, it will be just fine once it's onshore.

That's not what it looks like outside. I'd say 1/2" to 3/4" already

NWS posted a WSW for foothills, nothing for Seattle.

Refer to my map. It's clearly rebuilding.

31 here now.

This band looks very healthy all the way up to Everett now.

33/29 pretty stubborn atm

To help some of our posters understand how much snow we're getting.

Former snowstorms. Usually crashing onshore gives it a bit of a lift. This should help it last another hour or two.

The low really needs to pull in colder air its 33/27

The main band will not be gone for another 9 hours. The back edge(30 miles offshore) after which you have weaker stuff will almost certainly fill in once it's onshore.

Proper snowfall in U-district now, ground almost covered.

South sound is going off. Also UW roof dropped 3 degrees in 3 minutes, down to 37 and DP went up by 1. Could start snowing in 30 minutes after first returns are over us. http://www.atmos.washington.edu/weather/roofplot.php

Just need the North winds die down a bit for an hour or two.

Olympia gonna get nuked, radar is exploding to the west.

I hope you guys notice all the clear roadways as you go north along the Columbia river from Portland. Something is not happening right.

Yellow returns off the WA/OR coast.

Still virga over centralia... Anyway my guess would be heavy snow in Olympia and Tacoma, not much n Seattle. Tim might score as well.

Give it a few hours and it might be the real deal.
