Any recommendations for good radar?  I usually use the Komotv radar but wondering if there is better?

At least the satellite resembles game on....

Nice! Really stoked to see Maple Valley/Covington area score. It wasn't the easiest to get a good dumping the few years I was there. I felt like the direct access to east wind more often times hurt us than helped us and we were always just a little too far south for the CZ.

You guys got me beat on the season so far. My highest was the 2.75 I got yesterday. Otherwise I had a few days of light snow that didn't really amount to much. It's been pretty cold though with three lows in the single digits this month. So that's something!

Don’t worry: you’ll have all of our a$$es kicked in the snowfall department by the end of winter!

Day 2 (4-run trend) System is trending further offshore. No moisture, but strong offshore flow.

You can get the radar scope non-pro version for free.

I like this for sat/radar.

[Gradient Keeper]

I stand corrected. Perhaps more snow for western Washington.

We have a snow wizard and a winter warlock living in the same area. Now it’s a party!

Almost tempted to join in and go by something like “Hielo Hechicero” meaning “Ice Sorcerer”.  

Snow sadly got light here, can’t wait for more heavier showers overnight.

The Snow Mages Guild happily is recruiting. We have abominable snowmen/women.

One last good snow blast coming through.  Looks like I'm at 2.3" for the day now.

Day 3 (4-run trend)

[Gradient Keeper]

Saturday night real strong east wind PDX-DLS of at least -10mb. Possible east wind event/storm.

[snow_wizard]

The GFS is GAME ON for a nice snow event in parts of the Puget Sound area late tonight.

Very complicated setup.  Can't wait to see how that plays out.

In laws still don't have power in Edmonds. They're gonna be freezing tonight. 

 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Gfs is much dryer Saturday.  Following the euro. 

[snow_wizard]

This is pretty impressive for Pierce County. and parts of King.

That could be where some of the best snow accumulation comes from is after that initial lobe, just depends on who gets lucky with them.

Hmm... similar feature to the 18Z Euro as moisture lifts northward from that weakening low Monday.

Incredibly cold looking pic.  This ended up with just little enough over water trajectory to do the job.

[Gradient Keeper]

Snow for PDX OMG! Sunday!!!!

I use RadarScope on my iPad, though it probably has versions for other devices. Some features such as longer radar loops do take a one-time payment, but I really like it.

First round has finally wrapped up here. Round 2 in 4-6 hours probably. Picked up 1.2” this evening and we’re up to 1.9” for November. Most or all of the Next round will fall in December. Very solid event we’ve already got more than I expected with another round moving in. 

[DeepFriedEgg]

I see a back door blast materializing on GFS. Let's see if it plays out...

[Gradient Keeper]

Day 5 (4-run trend)

[DeepFriedEgg]

Looks like it's too far east again. Block support iffy.

[Gradient Keeper]

@MR.SNOWMIZER how much snow did you end up with?

[umadbro]

It’s definitely stalling out. I don’t see much shredding though

[FrozenBites]

Some nasty little cells sitting off the coast.

[Gradient Keeper]

Day 6 (4-run trend)

[snow_wizard]

GFS is cold.  Temps don't hit 40 for a week.

[KingstonWX]

HRRR thinks the precip moving onshore is going to collapse and fall apart just like @GHweatherChris is worried about.

[snow_wizard]

I think the snow the GFS is showing for Puget Sound tomorrow morning is something other than the thing off the coast we are looking at.

About 10 inches.

I think the stuff over the interior kind of develops out of thin air so to speak.  HRRR may not be good at that type of thing.
