The variability of our weather in the Puget Sound lowlands amazes me. I just took the light rail back from downtown to Tukwila. No snow downtown, trace-inch throughout rainier valley, and over 3 inches at the light rail station in Tukwila, yet no accumulation a half mile down the hill in the valley, and just a trace here on the hill in Renton. Amazingly hit or miss with this first round.
