MossMan Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Two spin outs southbound I-5 just north of Alger, lots of slush on the road...lumpy heavy rain in Mt Vernon. Quote Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

MossMan Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Had to get my snow fix by driving to the Whatcom/Skagit County border line http://i.imgur.com/du1Zdquh.jpgDid they clear that spin out? They had it down to one lane when we went through about 40min ago. Quote Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border.

FroYoBro Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 The rain in this shower is very plump. No real snow flakes yet. Hoping I see at least 6 snowflakes in a heavy shower this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Winterdog Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 How much snow did you get?Just enough to whiten the grass a bit. It's drizzling now and 35F so I'm waving goodbye to the snow for perhaps another year. Did you add to your total? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLI snowman Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Well on a more somber note, 12z ECMWF snowfall map shows nothing through Christmas morning. Even took away the trace-1 inch shown on the 00z. Hoping for the CZ that is shown on 12z GFS to materialize, seems like that will be our best (i.e. only) hope. On Wundermap there is actually a pretty good c-zone signature on the 12z Euro. Early Christmas morning at 48 hours out. Looks good for Snohomish and maybe Skagit Counties.

epiceast Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Jerk! I love the picture though. Really nice!There is a 75% chance it will look sad when I get home. SW winds and sun breaks make it hard to stay below freezing even in the Palouse at 2600'. Some places 15-20 miles west of here are already in the upper 30s.

Bryant Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Did they clear that spin out? They had it down to one lane when we went through about 40min ago. By the time I headed back north they had it cleared.

As soon as we got to the point where there was some snow on the road the person in front of me slammed on their brakes...for no reason...I just don't get it. Does make for some free entertainment I guess!

Timmy Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I have the worse kind of snow, about 2 sloppy inches on the ground constantly melting, until a heavy shower comes through, and starts as chunky rain, turns to heavy wet snow. rinse, repeat. I know I am more fortunate than most to have snow at all, but compared to people who have snow currently, i have the worst kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we got was a cold shower on our hopes =) I think the fact that both models show accumulation in the same general area is a good sign. Temps will obviously be marginal again, but people are seeing snow in the heavier showers today, so wouldn't surprise me at all if heavier showers tonight bring the snow level down to 250' or so at times.
