Models nailed that deformation band setup. Looks like north of Vancouver is the sweet spot. Not expecting much here other than some showers hopefully. -

Crazy precip rates right now. -

It’s funny, with these winds I care a lot less that it’s sleet rather than snow - we don’t get much even accumulation either way. Just such an exciting experience -

Temp is holding steady at 10 with steady 15-20 winds and 30+mph gusts. Sleet snow mix. Models seem to have done really well so far. I’d guess maybe 3 inches of accumulated precip? Some of the drifts are near a foot now. -

Yikes. 100k PGE customers without power now -

Yeah, heavy precip was modeled for this afternoon, but we’ll see. We have drifts 6-12 inches high but really hard to tell overall snowfall so far -

Certainly the most memorable storm I’ve had in my life. I feel for all the folks without power right now, must be miserable. This is truly dangerous for those stuck outside. -

Down to 10.9 now, windchills well below zero. Just went out and drifts are a few inches deep. Snow just blowing sideways. -

Down to 11 and enormous flakes. Visibility is probably less than a quarter mile? Just an astounding event IMG_0021.mov -

Temp dropped 2 degrees to 12 in the last 20 minutes. Looks like we’re wetbulbing as dew point is rising again. I wonder if that’ll be enough to kick the mid layers back below freezing? Dewpoint is 6 -

I’m not sure if the video will come through but this is outside right now. Crazy, never experienced anything like this here. Currently 13.6 degrees. IMG_2110.MOV -

Honestly with the way the wind is blowing up here it’s a bit academic. We’re gonna have massive drifts and bare ground no matter what falls from the sky, and the snow is so dry it won’t compact into anything. A good day to stay inside! -

Just went outside, looks like about 50% snow and sleet mix. Power just started flickering too -

Holy moly, hit 13 last night, sitting at 14 right now with 20 mph winds and light snow falling. A -2 windchill at some point last night. Just astounded. 600’ in SW hills. Exciting day ahead!
