Light snow in Astoria is impressive

Gfs shows a ridge the day after the ecmwf does and the nw flow just blows right through it and back to a mountain snow pattern.

Lake King by Duvall/Monroe gets up to 1400 ft. Not very populated so I can never find snow stats unfortunately 

2 years ago i missed some land on gold mountain at 1200ft, there is a small area of public land otherwise its state land or state forest. it was 40 acres. I would of been in heaven there. Massive difference in winter climate at that level.

ALTahoe. Update please

That’s why I would LOVE to have a place out at Lake Cavanaugh!! It’s about 20 or so minutes east of me and just over 1,000’. They probably have over a foot up there right now. Whenever i just get missed due to elevation I run up there for my snow fix!

12Z ECMWF for tonight.

Going by what has happened the last 48hrs this might be real snow sticking

Tim would you post a precip map please for this time

From what i could find lake tahoe got between 48-54 inches over 3 days. Incredible storm but the wind was the real story. Some ski resorts were hitting 180 and 190mph!!

wow big difference at 750ft. Is that the highest area around there?

The magic elevation around the sound is 1200ft. If you had a place at 1200 near the foothills you would have massive snowy winters.

Ran up to the area just to the east of my house and 200’ above my elevation and it looks like about 6”. Only about 2” here at work which is 200’ under my elevation. Being sandwiched in the middle of those two locations (both under a mile from my house) I got 4” so that makes sense.

This is still 4 inches. Most models are showing some kind of moisture on me tonight, I just dont understand the dynamics making it happen.

Easy, you want to look at the wind at 850mb, over the last few days it has been ripping from the west and sw, tonight it switches from the north and north west so you will have upslope.

Yeah my kids are very excited that they canceled school! (Their little private school in Burlington follows what the public school does) 

Reminds me of when I was a kid back in March 1989 and they canceled school last minute! 
Anyway, plowing done, my wife called me to say there were trees and branches down on 300th as she was making her way to I-5 that she had to navigate around. Shocked we didn’t lose power. If this would have kept up for another few hours it would have been tree carnage! 
Just over 4” on the day, 9” on the season. 

How long did it snow

LMAO. Zero chance this verifies. I have had approx 6 drops of moisture in 4 days. 

The wind at 850mb has changed direction.  You might not be shadow anymore

Snowmizer was spot on late yesterday afternoon when he said that I was going to get slammed. The 0z NAM 3km showed me in the 0.00” area, but the 18z Euro was spot on! 

Last night I predicted 6 inches for you

Got a heavy mix that just started. Down to 35.2

It's coming man

I can't believe how many shots of snow there is for here on the gfs the next ten days. I doubt this is the last snow for the year I just had.

That last band dropped 3" in about an hour and a half. 

What is the current depth?

Randy get ready, you are going to get blasted tonight. That meso low is going to park right near you.

Updated through 9 a.m. so far... total snow.

 

Randy will get about what I got, I am shadowed now. He could get 6 inches 

Another rain shadow for the central sound, that has been relentless this winter

lol yeah I was going to say some places out in kitsap were the big winners today. 

If the last 3 days would've been in December or just 2 degrees colder at 925 and 850 the entire area would've got smashed.  

I give it a c+. The 2 reasons it wasn't an f were the 15 degrees at work at 4:30 in the afternoon was amazing and the snow rate today was 4.4 inches per hr which is amazing for any lowland area in the nation. Normally those rates are high in the mountains or in lake effect snow. That was the fastest I have seen 2 inches fall here since 2019. Decent chance this is the last snow chance for places below 1000ft the next 2 days so it was a good way to send the winter off here. This is the first winter since 2016 I haven't had a large snow of more than 8 inches.
