Amazing the difference though east of our cascades when talking cold. I can work outside over there with a hoodie and jeans at ten degrees and it feels fine but over here doing the same thing at 35 degrees feels colder to me.
Very interesting 18z. Stronger low that stays out in the ocean longer pumping moisture in. The rough snow map does show more snow for Western Wa than the 12z.
I can remember back in the day i would listen to the weather radio and the marine forecast always came out first so if there was snow in that forecast we were golden!
That is the name of the game. Shop's around mine wonder why i have 40 cars to work on and they have 5. I don't pull any bs on my customers and people trust us. I don't even advertise all my business is word of mouth. Been here 30 years this year!
