Congrats to all who scored a ridiculously early snowfall!

[Front Ranger]

It might stay in the 30s around Seattle today.   WRF was way too fast moving the system out.   Its just crawling along.  

 

I suspect Sunday will similar to today in Seattle... cold, dark, and damp.  

 

With off and on snow showers? I think most people would be fine with that.

12z Euro and GFS look pretty different.

 

Yep...

Was thinking the same thing. 35 degrees with huge flakes coming down pretty good here at school in Mountlake Terrace.

 

Pretty D**n impressive for 12:30 PM on November 3rd.

 

They almost always make that mistake with these systems spinning down from the NW. They usually get hung up longer than modeled. In this case, that worked in our favor as it kept precip going while still letting the cold air in.

Two months ago today it was really hott. Today it's nott.

I guess so... not really a nice snow day though.   Going to be downright miserable at the Seahawks game.   

 

[TT-SEA]

FWIW... the 12Z ECMWF shows the 925mb temp this afternoon over Seattle at -2C and on Sunday afternoon it shows -1C.

Currently here in W. Sea

Snowing in Redmond now. Temp 35

Redmond, OR correct?   Need to clarify with that one.  

[TT-SEA]

Dark and gloomy in Seattle while the sun is out at Snoqualmie Pass... go figure.

Really awful historic pattern we are in.

[TT-SEA]

Awful ridge beforehand as well!    

 

I am just going by tangible weather... not the timing.   Its raw and damp out there... about the same as rain now.

Hard to say...that system will be moving in a bit differently than the current one has, and will have plenty of cold air already in place to draw from. May also move through quicker.

 

Either way, I'm sure most fans will be tickled if they get to experience a Seahawk's game live and it's snowing. Pretty rare experience.

There was a game vs the Packers back in like 2006 that had snow and I know the Jets game was crazy snowy during the legendary 2008 event.

[HighlandExperience]

Snowing downtown. Pretty amazing for first week of Nov

I am not sure they will be "tickled"... only the true weather geeks!  It will probably be the same as sitting there in drizzle for 3 hours. 

 

The 12Z ECMWF shows Sunday morning being almost identical to this morning... the only difference is that its slightly warmer at the 925mb level on Sunday afternoon compared to this afternoon.

Yeah, pretty sure those are the only two that have been played in the snow. Though I think there might have been one last year with a few flurries around.

Flash freeze game in 2006 was pretty fun!

C'mon Tim. Nobody cares about "gloom" on a day its snowing. 

[HighlandExperience]

Good lord....

Let’s post pics from Duluth instead

We need to be reminded how much we really suck, lest anyone get too cocky.

Very different scenes in downtown... just slight elevation changes make a difference.  

 

These cameras are all within a mile of each other.  

 

 

 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Good lord....

 

Relax, it's going to be in the upper 40s-low 50s here.  You'll be fine.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Most people I know would think being at a Seahawk game while it was snowing would be cool. 

 

But Tim has weird friends who wish Seattle had a California climate. He always talks about all the people he knows who complain about the rain, and just love endless dry streaks and heat.

Lol. Right away this year....

Just saying it’s snowing heavy in belltown. Pretty rare for first week of November

[DareDuck]

Probably. Right around the same time it started snowing in Bend. Still going

[TT-SEA]

C'mon Tim. Nobody cares about "gloom" on a day its snowing. 

 

I have high standards for my snow days.  

[Deweydog]

It's traffic camera season 12 months a year!

[wx_statman]

Low level cold airmass *trying* to push its way into Centralia -

Ah, I guess this answers my question on the other page.

 

Excited to have a poster here from Polk County nonetheless. Underrepresented area. I’m sure you’ll get some fun this winter, that’s a great cold air damming location with the right pattern.

[TT-SEA]

Snowing off 148th in Bellevue. And yes, Tim, that's Bellevue, WA.

 

Whew!    I assumed this was Bellevue, Nebraska.  

[HighlandExperience]

Blizzard downtown

What happened to the focus?

Then why did you say they would be "miserable"?
