A bit over 3/4" as the grass is almost covered. Not bad. More than I expected.

As others have noted, there’s something about sun on snow…

I feel like what they meant by “upgrading” the GFS is that they upgraded the amount of GooFuS in it.

I found a neighborhood above Oakridge of about 20-25 homes. 2400ft. Might be worth checking out.

Gonna need to be higher than that for this. 😜

Unfortunately, terrible from Portland south but not bad for WA

 

I'll believe it when I see it for my location. Except for the day after Halloween, which was a surprise - my location  this year is where snow holes form and warm noses thrive. Already losing out on snow chances on Sunday but I've tried not getting too bummed.

1996 redux for Seattle but more snow. Roof collapses for sure in this scenario.gfs_mslp_pcpn_frzn_us_54.png

Remember last week when the GFS had us wondering if the NFL should come up with a contingency plan for the Seahawks game yesterday.  ;)

I’m actually more worried for folks in the PS than anything else. Could be a dangerous situation up there and they’ll need our thoughts, prayers and financial contributions.

Sure have to hope the GFS's impressive string of nailing surface details from afar finally runs out with this.

What I find even more confusing is that the EPS and GEFS have been showing the troughing being shoved east early next week while the operational runs have it continually reforming to the north and west.    Literally no idea what is going happen.

And almost 2ft snow depth! What a shellacking!

Good thing I serviced my generator last weekend…

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!
