Hasn't been as bad here a bit to the northern part of the metro area compared to Tigard and that area but it's still been annoying. Maybe we can get an event like February 2014 or the 2016/2017 events to give the W/SW metro more snow sometime soon.

For West or SW metro to beat east metro we need the arctic airmass to actually make it here. Gorge outflow would eat up east metro snow but west and SW would score big. East metro will always be colder than us but we can beat them out with precipitation...

I'm not sure if the gorge outflow eats up my snow sometimes as well. I get a strong east wind during snowstorms downsloping off of the West Hills but I usually do fine in those unless it's like 2021 which had sleet/ice. 2016/2017 I also did really well, I think we had around 18" of snow. After that though not as great.

[RentonHill]

Coming down decently but not sticking to roads at 33 air temp. Took road temp a minute ago and they were ~45 so cliff was right on the money there, of course. 

[Phishy Wx]

I see now.  This must be the proverbial 'warning shot' although I did get 3" yesterday

 

update sent to delay snow into North Idaho and the eastern
third of WA until later this afternoon with light snow chances
increasing 3-6PM. This snow will be light but has the potential
to impact the evening commute. This snow for North Idaho and far E
WA will taper off before the main event arrives early Wednesday
morning.

Moderate snow picking up again! 

 

You need to add a location to your profile.    I don't remember where you live.

[joelgombiner]

Winds due east now. OTH-SEA +4.3 mb. Flakes mixing back in.

Oh it definitely does eat up some but it shouldn't be as much as east metro...

 

But I guess the down sloping could eat up even more

285 feet.  I live behind Poulsbo Middle School.  It's my fence line.

Would be a top-tier blast for western Canada.

Of course, GFS is wildly different and shows the same area that the Euro has in the ice box, torching (briefly) in the mid range.

Yall are gonna get wrecked so bad. My dad is up in Twisp and he basically has to stay and plow or we probably wont be able to get back up there again for a while

[Chewbacca Defense]

Business is picking up, temp heading the other direction, down to 29.7

[joelgombiner]

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Starting to stick to the streets.

[Christensen87]

Snow starting to pick up again on the Kent East Hill, 400 feet. Been steady at 33 for awhile now. 

[GHweatherChris]

Precip rates are lame here even though the radar looks impressive.

Interesting because the coast is now showing red echoes

Wind gusts to 77 mph at Sanderson Island. This thing is like a category 1 hurricane. Heavy snow in Tofino.

Are you getting much east wind there? Because seems to be picking up here at 405/169 area

Getting an east wind here at 8mph with a DP of 29

It's getting a little gusty, but not much.

Ya had a few cancerous growths we had to take off so he’s missing a big chunk of his tail now

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Girls checked, 3 inches at home and 31 degrees.

[SnowySeeker50]

35F and raining with some snowflakes mixing in at ~500ft. Most of what accumulated this morning has melted away.

[BurienSnowGlobe]

[SeanNyberg]

Snow has picked back up again in Issaquah.

Temp briefly bumped to 35 but down to 33. Concrete/roads starting to get covered again.

32º in Everett

 

[Nov1985]

According to NWS observations (https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/map/?obs=true&wfo=sew) the station measurement closest to the low of Vancouver Island is 989 mb at last report. The center is probably what 986 to 987? Model projections 24 hours ago for low (yesterday's 18Z runs)

• GFS: 985
• ECMWF: 991

These models are probably meeting in the middle again (but it's not actually 4pm yet...). Looks like ECMWF might have got the location better though?

[Ice_is_Everywhere]

How’s Thursday looking for the central Sound?

[Hawksfan2008]

East wind really picking up in North Bend and 32 degrees. Should get pretty wild here with the snow/wind this evening! 

[MossMan]

Had to run down to Smokey Point. Snowing but only sticking a tad to the landscaped areas. Back at work and it’s starting to stick pretty good. When I left the house it was definitely starting to add up, had to do the first carport snow removal of the season! 

[MossMan]

Here at work at 350ft
