It's so spread out and microclimate-dependent, it's not as fun as it sounds. I have plenty of memories of good times over here when no one else got any fun though, so it's not a bad place to be. It's definitely interesting. Waiting to see if we get any of the thunderbooms @MR.SNOWMIZERhas gotten though. That will be a nice nightcap if so. 

The thing about it around here is everyone gets their moment of glory eventually.  There are so many patterns that can bring snow and they all favor different areas.

Looks like 3 inches and still dumping in Woodinville. Very wet snow. 

[DeepFriedEgg]

Hopefully they are loading some new AI into the euro to give Portland 2 ft

That could make some serious noise

I've been hitting up Twitter for my snow porn...

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

One of the most dynamic snow events here I've witnessed.  Trees are busting in the woods everywhere.  Non stop snapping.  Still snowing and 32

Gosh that sucks. Still coming down like crazy here. 

For the record, I called this.

[snow_wizard]

The models are all over the much colder airmass tomorrow night and Thursday.  Some great potential with that for places missing out tonight.  Given the situation I could see some places having snow on the ground for over 10 days the way things look right now.

Your profile says Covington, you get way more fun that we do in North Kitsap, except when the easterly snow eaters show their face 

[Hawksfan2008]

Up to 31 now but moisture is really picking up. Snowdrifts in the yard. 

[Nov1985]

10pm update -- 31.9 / 31.4 - living on the edge. Snow rate and wind increased past 20 minutes. I'll call that 5". I think she's near done, but who knows...

 

[skywatcher]

Bit of fairly green returns just moved overhead here.. according to the radar. Nothing that's making it to the ground, though, hand check confirms. Winds have picked up a bit and the temperature has dropped to 34.5 so far, from 38 about 45 minutes ago. Not quite sure what to think, but it certainly is interesting to watch the conditions change like this.

[The Blob]

Incoming!

[KingstonWX]

Weird place for a donut hole but interesting nonetheless. 

[Cold Snap]

Heavy wet snow is definitely taking a toll on the trees that still have leaves. Just went outside and heard 2 branches break. One of them in my front yard. The snap was so loud and then I hear a branch come crashing down

[Perturbed Member]

Absolutely pouring here. 40.7F. 

[Gummy]

It finally switched to heavy wet snow here in North Seattle, probably too little too late, temps are still around 34-35. That 5 mile trek just north of here really makes a difference.

[MossMan]

A few more night yard pics. Snow has tapered off. 

[snow_wizard]

It's actually pretty boring here right now.  Not much falling from the sky.  It is cold though with the temp near freezing.

Outages have jumped big time in southern Snohomish Co! 

[Gradient Keeper]

10:08 PM Radar Update

Seriously heavy rain northwest of PDX.

[selkirks]

Mixing with snow again near U-Village.

Here are a couple from right now. A little over 4 inches, still coming down and roads are covered.

Couple miles south of Squak Mt almost 500 feet.

[seattleweatherguy]

So is it possible it won’t rain until at least sometime in the late morning wed? Hoping we can hold off the warm air.

 

[TT-SEA]

Snowing hard at Snoqualmie Ridge exit again... it was raining there earlier.  

[yellowstone]

Folks, this is WILD!  I couldn’t stand seeing a 50/50 snow mix at my house any longer so I got in my car and drove from 55th up to 145th on I-5. Complete change to snow happens by 100th and by 145th it’s DUMPING and I5 is completely snowcovered with well over an inch on the ground. I’ve never seen conditions change that fast without an elevation change. Back at my house and the temp has dropped a degree in 20 minutes and it’s more like 90% snow now. Come on down snow!!!

[bishbish777]

Dang...what's up with the Euro?

[snow_wizard]

What a terrible time for the ECMWF to be down.  

[Requiem]

I think a fair amount of people underestimate the damage this sort of heavy wet snow can do-- the west side and hills were a mess down here back in April. 8-10 inches of sloppy snow can essentially do minor ice storm equivalent damage, especially on leafed trees.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Still coming down moderate to heavy 

[Perturbed Member]

Still no 00z ECMWF on Pivotal...any luck on Weatherbell?

[runninthruda206]

Snow in Fremont!

You can clearly see the cloud tops turn white as they approach the coast.  We've got a night of this in front of us.

How much snow did you get up there in April?

My son at UW just called me and said he did the same thing. 

He said it was winter wonderland as soon as he went north and said when he got back to UW now it was turning to snow there.

Yeah....Dry snow is much more fun.

Maybe they're updating it so it doesn't show so much phantom snow. It has predicted 10" of snow at my house in the last two days and I haven't seen even a trace.

[SnarkyGoblin]

It's definitely fun to watch the giant flakes - wish it was daytime though!

Stupid city hasn't replaced our dead street light yet.  Pretty sure I pay for that lamp in my electrical bill.
