Pretty amazing. Prior to this year, Wenatchee's airport had recorded a whopping 0.1" of snow before in the month of April. Their previous latest significant snowstorm of record occurred in the 2nd week of March, a full month earlier. Very historic snow event there.

Also, the high of 38 at Yakima yesterday was a new monthly record low max. And the previous daily record low max for April 13 had been 52, so they broke it by 14 degrees.

That’s incredible. This is going to be the first time silver falls has recorded 4 straight sub 40 highs in April, and they have a chance to stretch it to 5 today. I hit 36 Tuesday, but the traffic cam at the park never got above 34, if the park station didn’t get above 34 it would tie the monthly min max.

Yeah 30's in April is cold for highs no matter where you are. The coldest I remember was 39 on 4/4/2012 in Klamath Falls, and I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a sub-40 in mid Spring since then. It's gotten close a few times.

So nice that the SEA radar is down again while there is lowland snow in April... just lovely!

We got a decent coating here.   Pretty surreal right now with the strong April sun shining through the clouds and big snowflakes still falling.

Rates are *everything*. Even summer solstice sun angles wouldn’t stand a chance if it’s snowing hard enough.

Wow, the GFS gives us more snow chances Saturday and Tuesday morning, and then closes out the month with an extremely cold trough that at face value would drop snow levels into the foothills. A few nice days on there too.

Sunny skies with rain falling from all the melting snow in the trees!   Beautiful in its own way 

 

36*

Seeing daytime snow like that in mid-April is really something special. Can't imagine that's happened more than a handful of times the last 100 years in Federal Way.

All these records being smashed..maybe the Hunga Tonga eruption actually has reshuffled the deck somehow? :lol: 

Something like 8% of the total H2O mass above 100mb came directly from the eruption. Almost unimaginable.
