warm nose is a bastard.  oh what could've been. Euro/Canadian blend was right after all. Kudos to the NWS last night at least in the Spokane metro area. looking like 6-8"ish will be it for this round, already starting to settle and compact.  mostly melted off driveway where I plowed and trees. They probably didn't need to extend the WSW and I wouldn't be surprised if it gets dropped or changed to an Advisory later, secondary and neighborhood streets are a mess

Been an awesome month in the Spokane area. Best November in a long time.

All snow now at Fircrest/UP border.  Tonight should be fun!

Some stats the last few days. Ended up with a 40/28 day here yesterday, we held onto light easterly flow until a little beyond midnight. Flipped to gusty south winds overnight and also picked up a lot of heavy rain, with well over an inch in the last 24 hours. 

46/39 day here so far. A cluster of heavy showers moved in earlier accompanied with the wind shift, and dropped the temp from 46 to SW winds to 39 with NW winds. Looked to be some wet snow or ice pellets in the showers, but didn’t hear any thunder. Cloudy and 41 currently.

36.1* DP 34.2* and an icy cold rain is falling in Yelm. I can't even say it's a mix, its just really cold rain.

Definitely. This is some good perspective. It’s funny how much the attitude of posters in certain areas can affect how the weather there is perceived.

Enumclaw is getting hammered now. Wouldn’t at all surprise me if they got 6” in the next 12 hours.

Yep all snow here getting heavy at times. 35 here. It’s getting interesting faster than I thought it would. 

[FrozenBites]

Snowing like crazy in Bonney Lake. 

[SouthHillFrosty]

Snow is noticeable lighter. Good base to start with tho  

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Tonight should be really good south and east of tacoma

[T-Town]

Starting to stick here. Kooky.

What site do you use for Traffic Cams? I usually use this one but it doesn't have that camera.

I noticed it was in the mid 40s there last night when it was dumping snow here... assume they had downslope while we had a gap wind up here.     Totally different situation tonight!  

[TacomaWx]

D*mn just needs to get a bit colder. Coming down really hard temps are gonna start dropping. 

[skywatcher]

Flakes have started getting lighter here, a few ice pellets mixing in at times. Still definitely coming down though, temperature hovering at 34 degrees right now. I'd love to have what Enumclaw is having.

Looking like it will be the 4th coldest November on record at GEG, after 1985, 1955, and 2000. We'll see where it stacks up for snowfall but with 18"+ so far it looks like it will likely be in the top 6 for snowfall there as well.

Check out the WSDOT traffic map for the state's cameras. King County also has an assortment of cameras here, as well as an interactive map here.

Omak should finish the month around a -10. 

[bishbish777]

It's hard to see right now how this is going to make it up to Seattle area. Other than the NAM, all the models pretty much have just some light snow or flurries up here. I'd be happy if it did somehow make it up here but I hope you guys further south do well either way. 

[Ellsworb]

Temp 33, DP 32 and moderate snow now sticking to ground surfaces on the east shore of Lake Tapps. LETS GO!!!

[runninthruda206]

Yesterday it snows north of this circle, today south

ECMWF seems to be doing pretty well based on reality this afternoon... and it doesn't show it moving north through Seattle this evening but there might another chance there early tomorrow morning.

Lol

[Blizzard777]

Holding at 33.5 

Lots O Snow! 
beginning to stick due to rate its coming down now.

Like a snow globe out there with it swirling around!  

[snow maniac]

Light rain here now after a mostly sunny day. 

[skywatcher]

So currently at 34.5, and we've transitioned back to a light rain/very fine snow mix here. Not looking bright right now, hoping it transitions back to snow later tonight.

[GHweatherChris]

Seattle NWS must be trying to figure out how they can eff with us today.

[Blizzard777]

Major dandruff from Frosty !!! 
33.4

I grew up right near there (Lakemont area) and this storm has me missing that elevation something fierce. My parents still live there, and they've gotten the goods quite a bit in the last several years.

We were living down in Seward Park before this and always had rain when a few hundred feet up they'd have snow. Nice to have the elevation now!

[Poulsbo Snowman]

WWA issued for most of Puget Sound for 1 - 3 inches between tonight and tomorrow afternoon.  The questions continue.

[CloudJunkie]

34 and dumping in Lakewood, though not sticking yet. Roads are gonna get slippery tonight.

it's been pretty good.  had at least some snow on the ground for like 20 ish? days (I haven't looked at the official summary) and consistently cold.  hoping its a good sign for winter?

[SouthHillFrosty]

The euro is pulling back a little on totals

Does anybody have access to the gfs-wrf 18z link?

It’s coming down really hard here now. 

[skywatcher]

Annnd we're back to all snow here, some chunky flakes falling. Temperature dropped down to 34.0 exactly, accumulation is now noticeable on the trees. Nothing on the roads as of yet.
