NAM wants to spare the sound. Huge drop off in precipitation. 

I feel like the NAM has been flailing lately, even more than usual.

Anyone seeing snow?

It's either evaporating or we are going to get more than expected.

[Requiem]

I'd trust the EURO on these short term surface details-- it's seemingly calling for a widespread .2-.5 inches of ice for the valley into the metro area, and possibly 1+ inch of ice for spots in the Gorge.

[JW8]

After the snow forecast flop (for most), it would be kinda fitting if this turned out to just be an hour or two of sleet and then plain ol' rain

What’s your temp? 

24 and 13 dp

[joelgombiner]

Not to be a downer, but some models are showing category 5 ice storm criteria for certain areas of Washington and Oregon. 

[Terreboner]

I gotta say, real peaceful night here.  Light northerly breeze, about an inch and a half of snow, still lightly snowing, possibly more intense in a couple hours.  Watching the football game, Christmas lights are on, daughter is having a christmas gingerbread muffin with frosting.  Life is good.

[Slushy Inch]

Looking at 18z Euro, is this thing way ahead of schedule?

But more up here and we were supposed to be shadowed a bit…Odd

Seems to be. Every spot along the Washington coast is reporting some kind of precipitation. 

[WhoNeedsAC]

Freezing rain and 24 degrees here. Praying to the ghost of Tesla that our power stays on.

I don't know if it is reaching the ground, but radar has precip moving north towards Seattle.

Let’s get this sucker out of the way and move on with life! 

[Slushy Inch]

Precip rates look way higher than what 18Z Euro had.

Nothing here yet. 25 with a NE wind. According to the phone app it's supposed to be snowing right now.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

26F and light freezing rain. Going to be a regional glazing.

I've always wondered, how quickly does it coat surfaces? Is it already a glaze outside or does it take a while to build up?

I guess we are getting the region wide event we asked for!

[Slushy Inch]

RGEM doing the best with this system so far? Others too slow.

[MossMan]

Went out and did a fence check earlier today when I came home for lunch. All is well…So far…

[BurienSnowGlobe]

Will give you guys an update in 23 minutes!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Down to 21 at Aurora. This doesn’t feel like something that will mix out by morning…

I really miss Walter Kelly.  I always felt like you could tell how much he loved and geeked out over weather here.  

I miss him too, he was the best, especially when it came to snow.

[Tyler Mode]

Sleet and 23 degrees.

Making sure zombies haven't breached the perimeter.

[HuskyMaestro]

Lights subtly flickering here in Fife and the event hasn’t even started yet, no snow or ice or anything. Hate it lol 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

I have a feeling this thing is really going to be something we won't forget.  Starting to get a bad feeling. 

[The Blob]

Ice pellets are piling up

I'm still holding out hope people like myself in the EPSL will get more snow then expected before phase 2 starts

Yep, could cripple the region right during holiday travel.

Charge y'all's phones.

Just making sure no trees have come down on the fence. Been about a month since I last checked.
