These last two days have been incredibly strange here.  Snow yesterday morning, followed by rain with temps right at freezing with brisk east winds, then a brief break where temps rose to 40 this morning, followed by falling temps and snow this afternoon and evening, then clearing which produced freezing fog.  Right now it looks amazing outside.  Snow flocked trees surrounded by fog and some stars above.

I’m hoping to get at least a quick inch tonight to get some snow back on the trees to make everything more of a wintry scene since everything melted off the trees this morning. Still have about 3.5” of snow cover so even if I don’t see anything tonight that should bode well for tomorrow night and going into this weekend. I’ll probably record some lows in the teens with the snow cover.

Not bad for 41ft.

Looking at the Mesonet, temps have plunged in the places that got snow.  Seeing a lot mid 20s to around 30.

That is some wicked cold air flowing out over the ocean and swinging in there.

Hopefully I can get some dry snow Friday night. Not expecting anything at all here with this one.  Lastnight was fun but that snow did massive damage on my property.  4 trees down just in the back yard.

The one good thing about here, is much of my snow is decently dry.  A good percentage of it falls going into cold weather.

29 here…radars filling in South of Olympia. Leading edge is just south of yelm. 

[TacomaWx]

Glad i slept for 2 hours…based on radar probably not going to be able to get more before this moves in.

Saturday strong east winds for PDX east of I-205 and near/in the Western Gorge

Three weeks of brutal model riding.  Repeating model solutions of bitter cold and monstrous snow storms and what do I get?  A half hour of very wet snow, a few days with highs near 40.  Goodnight all.

At least there is always next year. We can get some good lawn toppers in revenge Nino situations.

Is there a December thread yet?

Deformation band visible on satellite. Definitely moving up quick.

It looks like we could have more chances for snow after the dry cold period coming up. It would be nice to keep this snow cover going into the next event especially since it would mean over a weeks worth of snow cover here which is uncommon for this early in the winter. I feel like long dry periods after snow haven’t really happened the past few winters like along the line of low level cold. With how blocky this winter is turning out I wonder if I could end up having snow cover on a decent amount of days this winter. It looks like I’ll have snow cover at least through next Tuesday.

Freezing up before it hits just makes it better!

I was worried once the precip stopped it might melt a bit here…but it dropped below freezing shortly after it ended. Looks like no snow has melted in the last few hours.

I actually remember that.  Busted there and overperformed up here.

Unquestionably ahead of schedule according to the ECMWF.  On top of that they were only supposed to get very light stuff there.

[snow_wizard]

Freezing min number 22 now.  Incredible start to the season.

9 here so far as of this morning. Yesterday finished 41/29. Today and tomorrow look sub 40 for sure.

What?/ LOL .... How will I ever know which one to pick that's going to guarantee us Cold and SNOW!????

[Gradient Keeper]

Temp: 39.2, Dewpoint: 37.2 with a breezy south wind due to compact mesolow moving into southwest Washington.

The party poopers are to be avoided.

Radar is even filling in a bit to the west of here now towards Shelton.

I demand at least 2 feet of snow in total across this entire winter or I will not be satisfied!

[gusky]

Any estimates on how long till banding makes its way to N Seattle? Trying to decide if I should stay up to see the start or not.

[umadbro]

Seaside to Astoria is about to get another round of snow.

North of Tacoma will be dry tonight.

I’d guess 60-90 minutes. Might be tough for it to lift north after sea-tac with drier air to the north. 

[snow_wizard]

Yikes!  I can't find my snow board, because I forgot to put a stake in the ground where it is. 

The road in front of the house is totally froze up already.

Thanks, I'll just go to bed I think. Hope for that good white stuff in the morning (I kinda yolo'd and didn't study for a test so school better cancel)

[TacomaWx]

Webcam in grand mound looks like it’s snowing good there.

Finished yesterday with a 35/29 spread. Also got 0.5” of snow to bring the total up to 7” so far which is really good for just November. Currently 30. Slush is turning to ice on the roads. Crazy to think that I have already probably seen one of my biggest snow events of the winter. Unless this winter is planning on having some insane snow events.  Which seems like it’s not out of question with the amount of blocking that’s happened so far.

[snow_wizard]

Looks like cold continental air has begun to spill into Whatcom County.  Can't help but wonder if we might get a little bit of enhancement when the moist air meets the cold stuff.

You should pin the December one Jim 

[TacomaWx]

Snowing now just south of tumwater on the wsdot cameras. Probably will be in Olympia in the next 20 minutes. 

[snow_wizard]

Looks like it's dumping just north of Chehalis now.

Snowing in yelm now…probably 30 minutes or less before it’s here. 

[TacomaWx]

Me and Jim are partying in the December thread y’all should hop over!

Can confirm. It’s light but it’s here.

And my alarm goes off in an hour. Oh well.
