According to NWS, Bremerton Airport just switched to wind out of the north.

Bellingham is at 21 degrees.  Last December the outflow bottomed out at 19. It is already 19 just north of Bellingham.  

Bellingham had its first single digit low since 1990 last December. Be really cool to get two winters in a row with one!!!

Convergence  Zone couldn’t be much more perfectly placed here so far. Have a little over half an inch now.

PSCZ hung up just to the north. Hopefully it sags south!

[Cold Snap]

Finally starting to see bigger flakes mixed in with the little ones!

It's just hanging out over my house. Very polite.

There might be a c-zone up by Everett... but right now it sort of looks like just a blob of moisture covering a wide area to the east and south of Seattle.

My wife just now “ honey, get off your phone it’s gonna snow or it’s not.” 
 

 

 

I bet she hasn’t even seen the 18z

Your wife and my wife must play golf together.

It definitely looks like it's trying to fill in though!

[TT-SEA]

I was expecting a clear line with the c-zone coming down from the north at this point... but instead precip exploded out here coming from the SW.    Not anything like a traditional c-zone but its snowing pretty hard here.

[MossMan]

MS will be doing a livestream this evening, looking forward to that! He mentioned that there is the possibility of someone getting hammered with a lot of snow somewhere north of Seattle. I’m going to translate that to extreme northern Snohomish Co being that area!

28.2

[Meatyorologist]

33F here now. Just on the southern periphery of the cold sector.

[BurienSnowGlobe]

Flurries in Burien. Might be trying to move its way south 

[TT-SEA]

18Z ECMWF... snowfall through tomorrow morning.

Hopefully some good news for us South Sounders Tuesday on this run.

27.8! Brrrr

The Puget Sound convergence zone snow has initiated

Brought to you by snow pic envy! Possibly the most pathetic rainbow photo of all time. You’re welcome.

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

Down here we are probably not in the running for that Tuesday event anymore. Of course it could come in 100 miles further south and give PDX a good event but it isn't probable. 

I do think PDX has a genuine shot at getting some snow going into the Thursday event though before the changeover to sleet and finally ZR. The cold air will be in place and the east wind will be raging. We do much better here with those setups anyway and this is how we get our best winter events down here.

18Z ECMWF coming in north on Tuesday... here through 1 p.m.

[SnarkyGoblin]

 

Cool cool.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

22.5˚F with ongoing snizzle.

[TT-SEA]

Through 4 p.m. and precip is about done... still in mid 30s in Seattle.

Wow well we will see if the models come into agreement on this soon. Still uncertain but that’s not a good sign. 

[Ice_is_Everywhere]

First flakes here

[Kolk1604]

Lets hope the EPS trend continues. That was colder and snowier 

[Everleigh]

35.1°f and we have flakeage! 

 

[TT-SEA]

Temps at 4 p.m. on Tuesday... cooling down.

I’m almost in the danger zone now. Like I said, I might not end up with any snow at all this week the way things are going. 
Great.

That is vomit worthy. Thanks for ruining my already crappy non snow day, Tim.

About time for it to start trending south again. Wait…

3 inches isn't bad... better than what it shows for the Seattle area.

[VancouverIslandSouth]

Nice looking scene north of Parksville today, 4pm sunset -

 

The NE of the island up near Port Hardy is getting slammed with strait-effect snow now: 

[VancouverIslandSouth]

Even nicer in the next frame - 

[Brennan]

Snowfall rates on Tuesday should be at least… at LEAST 10:1 up here in Whatcom County. Unless the low goes north then rainfall rates will be 10:1 ….  

[TT-SEA]

This is ECMWF snow from right now through 4 p.m. tomorrow... this excludes the snow that has already fallen.     That bullseye east of the Olympics is still there.

[JW8]

I've been told for days that the i90 corridor was in the bullseye. I want to speak to the manager.

[MikeInEverett]

Wow just got home. ZERO snow here. Not even anything coming down even though there’s echoes over me. Right when I passed the Highway 9 exit on Highway 2 the snow just vanished. That was so depressing. Maybe north Everett wasn’t the best spot to move. Been burned twice in a row

That blue spot at the entrance to Howe Sound needs to move just a smidgen to the southeast!
