epiceast Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Sounds like shower might be a misnomer. Maybe more like a shortwave.Yea it looks more organized now, very elongated in the direction of its travel. But it was definitely a shower when it was hitting the pass. Quick followup with another one 30 minutes later however, that's probably what caused the road closure. I also don't see any upper level local compression at 850, 700 or 500mb levels.

bainbridgekid Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I like SEA's chances of picking up 1/4 to a half inch tonight to pass PDX for seasonal snowfall. Pretty good shower around Aberdeen seemingly headed their way with another lighter shower closer to SEA. Hopefully they are paying attention to measure and record even a quick dusting since they are tied with PDX right now.

TT-SEA Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Snowing moderately here right now... looks like another 2-3 inches overnight but hard to tell with so much snow on the ground already. We had 9 inches on the ground last night so probably close to a foot now. Well over 20 inches now in the last 9 days.

ShawniganLake Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Picked up 3/4" overnight with several hours of light snow. Currently cloudy and 30F.

Yeah, I've had less snow than you, but almost 50" is enough for me. The last two weekends have satisfied me with snow for the season. I would like to get more, but no more major snow dumps, and inch or two here or there that melts by afternoon would be fine. I am surprised you chain up just to get down the hill. What do you drive? I have a Forester and my fiance has an Outback. We don't even own a set of chains. My Forester sliced through 10" of unbroken snow on my road like it was nothing yesterday.

I am to the point with my home where I bought at such a low point in the market, I may even hold on to it if I ever decide to move. At current rental rates for similar homes in the area I could rent it out for $600-800 in cash flow a month.

We have a Ford Expedition that my wife uses most of the time and always when there is snow... but she is a wimp. It would actually do fine coming up the hill in almost any amount of snow. But going down the hill is a little more dicey. We have a couple very steep areas of the road. My son brought a 4-Runner with a V8 and he is much more of a risk-taker but even he gets a little nervous going down the hill when its bad. My other son brought an Outback. They both wanted cars that they could use to go skiing and they can also tow the boat with the 4-Runner and they are really looking forward to that this summer. No parents required to take the boat out with their friends. A couple years ago... we had maybe 2 inches of snow one morning and I told my wife that she did not need chains but it was icy below the snow and worse than I thought. She ended up sideways to the road and other cars backed up and it was big mess. Now she just feels more confident with chains. I chain up the car in the garage and she takes them off when she gets to North Bend. Housing prices here have gone crazy. And we built our house so we we had good equity from the start. We don't plan on moving though so its only on paper.

Studded tires would definitely be an option for us... but so much of our driving is on bare roads even in the winter. That would eliminate the need for chains.

We don't plan on moving though so its only on paper. Makes sense. The highway down to Silverton is actually not all that steep, it really only has two big hills, and the biggest one goes from about 750' down to 300', so that section is usually not snow covered. The drop to Silverton is about 1400', but over the course of nearly 10 miles, the snowiest section of road is the 2-3 miles below my house and that section is pretty gentle. Housing prices are cheap here in comparison to the Seattle area, but they have still recovered to above pre-recession levels. I just sold a house for my company in Salem. It is a nice house, but needs updating badly, we purchased it pre-crash for 235K, sold it last month for 258K. It is 2,800 square feet in a decent older neighborhood in South Salem, so pretty affordable. Especially compared to up there. Silverton is about 25% more expensive than Salem though.
