Ya, shows 1.1 for Redmond and they have around 4" already.  Crap map.

Really enjoying checking out the trip check cams in your area this morning. The Gorge is getting hammered too. 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Boom just like that, light snow and 37 degrees. The dewpoint is doing its magic today, no rain, no sleet just light snow.

[Everleigh]

Snow coming down fast enough that I cannot count the flakes!  31.6* with a DP of 30.4*! 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Oregon snow pack off to a good start. 

[OysterPrintout]

Been lightly snowing for about an hour here in Richmond neighborhood. Starting to accumulate on grass. Long ways out from sticking to the roads but it's nice to see. Glad to see paltry euro precip totals have pretty much busted already. 3k GRAF has 1.8" here now starting from 10:30

Very Light rain now. Temperature keeps jumping up and down.

Day 3

[The Cats Meow]

Had a good burst of snow here in the valley to coat everything.

Then came a couple of puffs of south wind.  Freezing rain, hail or snizzle now.

Such a fun winter so far.

[Deweydog]

Switched to rain/sleet here.

[MossMan]

So close…Yet so far away.

Man you can't catch a break this winter! 

[Requiem]

Definitely worried about precip-- still solidly snow but I'm not sure how dynamic things are to our south at the moment.

Yeah, don't see much on the radar to be impressed with. Enjoy it while we can! Down to 34 and some beautiful flakes.

The next batch coming off the cascades looks like it might get you.

[Olive1010]

In a set up like this things can sometimes reform in the same place for a long time, where the band decides to park.

Most of the development has been modeled to occur pretty much directly over the Portland area. There's not going to be much pushing up from south of there.

I have a strong memory from when I was about 9-10 years old, it was snowing and the flakes looked like  . They looked like the snowflakes you cut from paper. I have never experienced it again, but would really really like to. Had to of been between 91-93. 

Its really coming down at a good clip now. This pleases me greatly! 

[LowerGarfield]

My wife says it looks like feathers falling from the sky or that someone is having a pillow fight over our house. Photos taken in order.

[Doinko]

Radar barely has me under anything but it's still snowing moderately

Day 5

[TacomaWx]

Been switching between sleet and snow before the heavier stuff finally arrived. Looks like it’s here now phat flakes. 

[Terreboner]

Winding down here now it appears.

[SnowySeeker50]

Precip is very light off and on even with some good stuff over me on radar

When I know we are getting cold snow in the mid 20's I like to put a cookie sheet in the freezer then when it begins to snow put the cookie sheet out side and the cold metal captures the snow flakes perfectly.  If you want to take a photo of a snow flake this is a good way to do it.

[Ice_is_Everywhere]

It’s been mainly rain or sleet here. Some wet flakes too, but not many.

[Cascadia_Wx]

Still coming down here but not as heavy as earlier. Have a solid dusting on everything but the roads now. Temp is 33.

[MossMan]

Up to 29.8

This winter is a bust without a regional

arctic blast. We are way over do. Go big or go home. 

Lanina transitioning to an El Nino for next winter, it needs to happen this year!

Remember yesterday you said it would be to warm! That dewpoint can never be overlooked.  You're doing good down there this last week.

Lol sometimes I’m not as optimistic in these situations so I don’t let myself down! Better to be surprised then disappointed when it doesn’t go your way. This should be a fun afternoon but it may be a tough road to get to accumulating snowfall still. Even if it doesn’t been an awesome week!

Still a very wet mix here. Might be a little too close to the water for it to work out today. 

[Cascadia_Wx]

Mid day timing doesn’t seem ideal, but at least we are at the time of year where the noon sun is about as weak as it gets.

Day 6

[Perturbed Member]

Back to flurries here. 34.4F. So far been difficult to get strong precip rates here.

Yeah it’s still 37 degrees. Needs to come down to 34 or so if we want to get stickage just not there yet.
