Bham_Guy 68 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Seeing the best snow so far this afternoon right now. The radar looks pretty good for another hour or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snow_wizard 12290 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Has southwest or south east winds taken over 38 here now,. Light rain I wouldn't worry about that. The general winds are E to NE down to just north of Olympia according to the current observation map. The colder temps that temporarily hit some places were caused by evaporative cooling. If the precip hits later tonight that effect will take place again. It's also possible a weak disturbance could increase the E to NE winds a bit ahead of it. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

snow_wizard 12290 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 It appears some kind of an Arctic boundary is setting up. Olympia has warmed up to 48 with SW winds while places just north of there have E to NE winds with considerably cooler temps. That could be the wild card for some enhanced moisture tonight.

Hard to really call it an arctic boundary when its in the low to mid 40s around Seattle and 48 at Olympia. Bellingham might be north of an arctic boundary... down here I think we just have some drier air that has been pushing in from the east since last night.

bainbridgekid 4004 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 NWS seems to finally be coming back to reality for Bellingham. This morning they were talking about 4-7" and snow till tomorrow evening. Now they are forecasting up to 2" tonight and turning to rain tomorrow morning. Snow coming down pretty nicely here and everything but the pavement is white though. Very pretty out.

snow_wizard 12290 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Looks like the northern half of Hood Canal is really cooling now.

snow_wizard 12290 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 WTF? The NWS changed the forecast to straight snow for Tacoma tomorrow morning while Everett get rain possibly mixed with snow?? Very odd how they dropped the all snow forecast for most of the zones.

Skagit Weather 671 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Well I got about about .1" of some corn-like snow pellets about an hour ago and my temperature is 33.5F. Unfortunately it looks like the precipitation has shut off again. I can't believe Bellingham is getting so much snow again while 20 miles to the south I get essentially nothing.

Brennan 844 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Although I’m glad to have not missed an epic event back home, it’s pretty sad to see how things changed from just a couple of days ago. This has to be up there in the top 5 of most disappointing model busts within 5 days. From every ensemble member showing -12 850’s or better to the rain/snow line barely being south of Bellingham for a 12 hour period. SICK. Looking like much lighter snow totals here now as well, with the heaviest snow falling in the Philly region. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
