Things are actually turning in our favor for a white Christmas!!  Just have to hold off the warm up a day or 2 now.

Devastating trendz for Team Pineapple.

Any chance that CZ continues to move south today?

Yes. As long as the Arctic air keeps pushing south. Most models indicate it will stall somewhere near I-90 or just south this evening.

But could definitely sag further south.

rain snow mixc in the puyallup valley

Always a good sign 

[SnowySeeker50]

That changed quickly

My girl and I took a trip up to Tenant Lake Park in Ferndale around 1 to check out the watchtower. Snow was blowing sideways from the northeast and it was absolutely frigid. Snow was blowing across the street all the way down Smith rd. Very cool. Now enjoying the snow with family and a fire in Sudden Valley.

D*mn! That shower passed over me but I was just a bit too north and only got some light ice pellets.

Wow!  The trends toward keeping it cold longer are dramatic on the GEFS runs today.  Much colder with the second shot.

Wouldn't it be great to see this just extend through the new year

Yeah, I'm in bonney lake now. It's coming down as all snow now and dropped to 32.

[TacomaWx]

Looks like the wind has shifted to NW at BFI for now.

We are still going to get that jet extension. It’s just going to have more mountain snow. Win win!

Wow had no clue it was snowing down there 

[Cold Snap]

Down to 32 now with light snow. Not really accumulating much yet.

Last video you cut yourself off in the middle of an f-bomb.

Based on reports of it already snowing in Fremont, I think the counter is a little slow.

This week's systems have overperformance written all over them!

[TacomaWx]

The really cold air is still up north of Everett but the wind switch line and cooler air is currently along this line. Renton along 405 switched to north winds. 

[jakerepp]

We'll see if this makes leaving Boise on Saturday morning a little more interesting. I'm sure they'll be able to get the airport operational by then.

[Ray]

Snowing and sticking here south of Bonney Lake.

18z GFS puts south central OR firmly back in snow by 12/28! Right after northern CA gets a widespread flooding event.

You know what would be great is if you could break it down by region.

Oops, sorry Randy, I cut off the date. This is mid-day Friday, I believe.

To be clear though the much colder air is further north but getting the north winds down south is still nice. 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

The 17 degree at Lynden at 3 in the afternoon is no joke. This airmass has some balls.

Such a stark cutoff, really really sucks. At least Thursday still looks somewhat wintry 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

5 in Lytton  and 12 at hope. Starting to wonder how cold of outflow will reach the border? Maybe in the 8-13 range?

[Doinko]

I'm ready just guessing but I thought it'd be fun to try. Anyone else planning on participating?

It's note over for you. This thing could pull further south at the last minute.

We just switched here at home and started dropping like a rock. Pretty fun. 

[selkirks]

Flurries have reached U-Village.  

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

If the sound gets some hood snow cover Wednesday evening could be very cold.

Not true at all where I live.  We often have snow ratios in excess of 15:1 and the traditional 10:1 is useless.  NWS Spokane uses it 

Sure, but for the west side of the cascades (vast majority of people here), kuchera is often posted because it usually shows higher amounts.  Yet almost never materializes.
