Looks like we made it up to 48F back down to 41F now. Let's see if we can get down into the upper 30s.

Our day will come buddy. Just not this winter.

For everything except ice melt, snow shovels, and their warm fuzzy socks!

Has anyone read the text forecasts for the Seattle area today?  They are so badly worded as to be almost unreadable.  Really bizarre.

They let the chat bot write it up

According to the HRRR, it's not even precipitating anywhere right now, and it won't in Seattle until midnight. No wonder it is so warm. Bunk

Get hyped Portlanders

26/20 on the day. Currently 23.0 and light snow.

My final call for tonight and tomorrow for BFI before the 00z GFS: 

Snow tonight/early morning ---> Switch to rain/snow mixed around lunch time---> Back to snow showers as the system moves out. We then plummet. 

High of 35.

5-6" 

I live on top of a hill, so I may fair a little bit better and hopefully no changeover.

Winter weather warning is now canceled on Bainbridge and is expected to be mostly rain overnight WTF

Looks like 50mph+ gusts here, probably a bit higher. I don't think I've seen south wind that strong many times (though that could just show how tame our windstorms have been recently)

I think south of Seattle is screwed until the surge of cold air drops in behind the low tomorrow.  The biggest problem is the precip has trended so light in the models during the pre-runner part that could have treated us really well.  The heaviest precip comes when the mid levels have warmed too much.

The good news is the backwash stuff behind a departing low is often underdone on the models.

Overall a real bummer on what could have been a great event for the Central Puget Sound.

January 2023 will be the new January 2017. Medford will get nailed with a foot of snow and then so will Portland

Stop looking at weather apps. Either look here or the national weather service.  NOTHING else.

Can't wait for that real cold to get here.

At least I had almost 3/4 inch last night and it all froze up last night.  Could have been worse for sure.

[Cold Snap]

29 with light snow. Picked up a trace so far.

Sorry, storm warning.

Yeah...apps suck.

Quite frankly I'm not sure if Bainbridge will do well or not.  Tough call.

This website has no authority to cancel anything. It has to be from NWS.

After this event I'm really hoping for at least a few inches of snow sometime this winter. I'm at a grand total of 0.2" of snow so far

[SnowWillarrive]

Snow picking up here. Not crazy heavy. But increasing !!!!

I haven't been under a Winter Storm Warning in what feels like a long while and I'm right at the border between purple and pink. Blueballed.

A good light-moderate snow falling now. It's toying with accumulating on the sidewalks. 31/30.

Would expect gusts potentially 60+ in Camas and Washougal as well

[Terreboner]

My phone app just told me that on January 4th I will have a wintry mix with light mist changing to chunky rain with a side of fries.  I better get to the store and buy some ketchup!!!!

[snow_wizard]

BTW...I hope I'm wrong about Seattle south not doing well tonight.  Just a hunch.
