Nice 36F rain up here with no snow left. It's a shame I'm just a couple miles south of the Fraser Outflow. However, nothing could be as bad as the 2" of precipitation falling at 33F a couple years ago as Bellingham was getting buried.

Yikes! 32.7 here and light snow.

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Been snowing on and off all day here. Currently 30.9F with moderate snow. My storm total is at 8" and the settled snow depth is close to 11" from the 2 events.

 

Cleared the driveway when I got home from work and it looks like there has been 1/2" new in the last 45 minutes.

Nice totals!  

 

That has been our battle here... shoveling between bands of snow.     Then you look out and the driveway is completely clogged again.

While we had some freezing rain in Battle Ground overnight and this morning, NE Portland was a whole different story.

 

Driving to work this morning there was virtually no snow or ice on the roads until the 2nd half of the I-205 Bridge.  Then everything was ice.

 

I attempted to park in my normal spot and slid down the slight slope until I hit the curb/last spot.

 

One of my employees slid into another gentleman's car while trying to park and then another employee slid into her car (pictured).

 

When I left (dark pictures) freezing rain was still falling and the trees were really getting weighed down. 

 

Pretty warm 34 here in Battle Ground.

You need one of these bad boys! Was using it today since I still work a few Fridays a month for the senior community that I worked for full time for many years. The sweeper attachment for the John Deere does awesome with removing snow...way better than plowing or shoveling by hand! Second pic was from 2008, inside shot was today! I should have taken an aftershot, bare pavement when I was done.

I understand east bound I-90 is closed on the pass. Yikes...did it close at all last winter?

Many times...I had many work travel issues because of it.

If you watch the last few frames the low is pulling cold air south, the rain/snow line is moving south...

Some serious stuff roaring inland on the coastal radar.   If that is all snow here its going to be pretty crazy.   

 

HRRR shows most of the precip is gone by morning.
