Move to the King/Snohomish county line. Trust me you will not regret it. Overperformed in Feb 2019, January 2020, Feb 2021, and now tonight. Literally an over performing event every year for the past 4 years. Was only supposed to get 4 inches tonight according to the Euro and I’m almost at 6 now!

KING/SNO line is truly the best for snow. Especially with a little elevation. You get convergence zones, are farther north, but not too far north to miss precipitation.

I guess Kitsap/Hood canal area is pretty good too.

[RCola]

Back to mostly rain after a period of snow in Belltown. So close and yet so far!

[Seattle]

Hah. One of Seattle’s 30 plows just came by. Good on them.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Over 10 inches on the ground.  There will probably be some 12 -14 inch amounts reported closer to the canal.  3 trees down in back yard. 

[Cloud]

We have pavement stickage. Fat flakes! 

[Gradient Keeper]

I am exhausted, so no Night Shift for me. Enjoy the snow! I hope those without power gets it restored quickly.

Hopefully 12z runs tomorrow morning treat us all very nicely and feature real good improvements Day 5+. Ya never know. Ya gotta believe!!!! C'MON!!!!

6z NAM running now
6z GFS in 1 hour 45 minutes
12z GFS in 7 hours 45 minutes
12z ECMWF in 9 hours 55 minutes

[Ice_is_Everywhere]

Switched to snow here too. Giant flakes.

[gusky]

Some serious power outages going on right now in North Seattle (not to mention Snohomish County!). Washington currently has the most outages of any state, by a wide margin.

[joelgombiner]

Hoquiam and Shelton are only 50 miles apart, but one is at 50 while the other is at 34. These are some wild temperature gradients. 

[Slushy Inch]

My power went out for 30 seconds and came back on in Bothell.

[MossMan]

Still climbing rapidly in SW Snohomish Co.

Oh yeah definitely I’m at just over 400’ elevation as well so I definitely normally do well in snow events. This event I’ve been doing great most models showed me switching over to rain by 5-7pm and it’s still coming down at my house. The power has been flickering so much I’ve been worried I won’t make it though the night without losing power.

[Requiem]

Some moderate rain pushing in. 

[RayRay]

The snow is incredible here at the UW

 

 

 

[ShawniganLake]

Ended up with about 5.5”. Maybe a little more but it melted and compacted before I had a chance to measure 

[Cloud]

Holy crap. LIGHTNING!!!! ️ 

[SouthHillFrosty]

Holding at 33/34. Heaviest cold rain I have ever seen without a snowflake.

My power in Bothell has gone out for two thirty second intervals just now.

[BurienSnowGlobe]

Pretty heavy snow moving through Seattle right now

Frustrating indeed but you know the drill. Snow is never a slam dunk around here. 

If it is any consolation, the euro seems to be the only model that is that dry right now. The GEM, GFS and even UKMET are much wetter. A 60-70 mile shift eastward and there would be a lot more juice to work with on the euro. Wouldn't take a dramatic change. 

Oh, definitely. Snow in the lowlands anywhere is always a fun treat. Just definitely feels like one of those weeks where we're just so close to something appreciable. 

[Hawksfan2008]

Radar is incredible. This is going epic for places that hold on to the snow a bit longer. 

[Ice_is_Everywhere]

And now it’s rain again. Just weird

Did you say you are in Beacon Hill? I am right outside International District

[Guest administrator]

Small burps in power for me in Everett. the dips in grid frequency are as bad as the windstorm, so expecting to lose power any minute.

[gusky]

Still going strong here. Not much sticking on the roads but I don’t even care.

Just now? Didn't see or hear anything in Ravenna

[joelgombiner]

Looks like Boeing Field is seeing heavy snow at 32. They were up to 36 earlier in the evening. 

[Hawksfan2008]

Still just 30 degrees in north bend. Plugging my phone in as I expect a burst of heavy wet snow once the wind switches.

There’s hell, and then there’s whatever this is. 41 and just drenching rain here.

[The Blob]

This cell has been sitting here for a while

[Meatyorologist]

33F and moderate snow. Radar is blowing up again. Taking in the sights.

Measured 0.5", after 0.25" melted this morning.

[joelgombiner]

I wonder if this heavy precip shield moves through Seattle as snow.  GFS thinks we keep the heavy precip going through 4 AM.

I've lived there before.  There have been times I've done better here than up there, but on balance that area is better.  The interesting thing is we haven't seen patterns that favor the south county on a large scale in a very long time.

U in Fife my bro. It doesn’t snow in Fife

[WeatheringLoyalHeights]

Just about ready to go to bed when the rates picked up again. Judging by my outdoor table, maybe about an inch and a half since this started 2 hours ago. Not sure how much more accumulation to expect given it’s pretty heavy wet snow, but I’ll take it! Anyone know if SeaTac was able to nudge over 1” today or have they been snow free since morning?

You’re only 70’ lower than me but that’s enough for completely white roads. I’ve gotten 1.25” compacted to 1” of slop. Plus .25”. Earlier in the day.

[snow_wizard]

SEA has turned back to snow.  It is working southward.

BTW the 6z NAM is better for tomorrow night than the 0z. That cancels out the HRRR.
