PSA:
The NWS always appreciates observations, especially detailed observations that everyone on here is capable of giving. That can be done thru Twitter, as they often set up a feed for that, or the mPing app. That can include final snowfall amounts, when the snow starts/stops, precip type, dew point, etc
This helps them with short term forecasts as well as future forecasts as they can learn from them. A few years ago they had a freezing rain advisory for Leavenworth, but I notified
If the Olympic rain shadow were moving west, you'd expect to see some kind of positive precipitation anomaly centered around Everett to Sequim. No such feature exists. What is very clear on that precip map is that there is a large north/south precipitation gradient which favors OR. It's reflective of our dying Niño, as well as showing a complete flip to the opposite situation from a few years ago, when we couldn't for the life of us get a system to target south of the meridian line, let alone Olympia.
The map is so red up there because when you have lighter annual precipitation, precip busts become more substantial. If you miss out on an inch of rain that means a lot more in terms of affecting your departure from average as compared to Seattle missing out on rain. Y'all have just been unlucky.
You should consider what affects you most. I hope you would not have this same attitude if you were in a swing state
Presidents allowing genocide to happen in other countries is not particularly new for us. Doesn't make it right, but you are kinda acting like the world is falling.
