Very light snow. Snow is starting to fall off trees and melt on the road. 
 

I can report it has turned to rain already in South Hill 

Hard to overcome swamp gas

Looks like a mix in Wallingford as well. Might be too warm even as heavier precip moves in. 

[Phishy Wx]

last nights 00z euro vs GFS 24h forecast.  look fairly similar, GFS may have been slightly closer

I don’t think areas much farther south got much accumulation. A very fine line with this 

Puyallup at 400", it was snowing moderately but only amounted to a trace. It's already switched to rain and is a balmy 36.

Updated warning popped up on my phone

Snow picking up in Central District. My Dad is over in Belfair, looks like some sort of shadowing happening there but live cam in Union looks like thick snow just to south of him. If anyone is in Union or Shelton to confirm?

Still pretty light snow and accumulation at lake Nahwatzel between Shelton and Matlock. WSW yesterday said majority of snow is expected after 1pm.

[Cloud]

Things are escalating quickly w/ the WSW for EPSL.

There are ridges all around it and there is a trough to its south... Path of least resistance. Of course, may just move west out to sea. Time will tell.

Yeah, unfortunately with that setup the path of least resistance might be for it just to spin in place. Really cold air is fat and lazy.  

[The Ms. Anthrop]

Just drove from Skyway to Renton Highlands. DT Renton’s streets are wet with snow on the grass/trees, and it dropped back down to freezing as I got to top of Highlands where it is sticking on the pavement again. Lol school dismissal is gonna be fuuuuuuun if this keeps up!

Jim is going to lose his mind w/ the WSW for his area!

[SouthHillFrosty]

Hood canal turning to rain?

It’s a shame his Nokia flip phone doesn’t have data or else he could post about it right now.

[ShawniganLake]

Took our 3 year old for a snow walk. She liked it which is unusual she has always hated snow. 
 

30F. About 1/2” accumulation

doesn't necessarily work that way.  needs a mechanism to get pushed south or something strong to pull it down.  it may stay where it is if the setup isn't dynamic enough to move it

Yeah, you're right. Also, no support from EPS.

Jim Lost his mind in 2004 or 2005?

Gotta love the Coast Range microclimate. Still snowing down to low elevations there.

Looks like they're not getting as much east wind component. 

[BurienSnowGlobe]

Anyone at the coast? 

[ShawniganLake]

moderate snow at Victoria YYJ. 3/8ths of a mile visibility

That snow line pretty well represents the heavier precip on the radar right now.

 

It's still cold aloft. -4 925s at around the central Sound

[Cloud]

The switching to rain is happening now in SODO.... getting mixed and all melted off. 

[Meatyorologist]

The switchover to rain in the South Sound isn't from southerlies, but istead from katabatic warming and daytime heating as precip rates temporarily decrease. Local obs still show offshore easterlies.

[Winterdog]

Up to 33 here.  I’ll be quite surprised if we get 8” out of this.  

[SouthHillFrosty]

Snowy days rock🥹

Good to know thanks!

[Meatyorologist]

Precip uptick approaching Tacoma. The real show will begin within an hour in Seattle.

[KingstonWX]

Fun's over. It's a bust. Everyone can go home now.

In all seriousness though, that break in the snow let the temp warm up to 36 here in Kingston and it's raining now. Might be the end of the fun for now.

Some potential for us to maybe switch back for a bit under some heavier precip rates maybe before the southerlies kick in. I’m not expecting much I’m pretty happy with how this morning played out good times!

Good chance that places which have switched to a mix will change back to snow when the heavier stuff rolls in.
