SEA will end up with a high 40 today which is their earliest high of 40 or lower on record.  Also their third consecutive record low max and third consecutive day 10 or more degrees below normal.

[snow_wizard]

Looks like some slushy accumulations near there

Yup...looks they will get measurable snow out of this one.

[Deweydog]

They're playing like they're in a murky, mucky low overcast.

They had a day time high below 40 on Friday too.

Two days with temps in the 34-35 range during peak heating. Pretty incredible.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

43/37 down here today so far. Really reminiscent of the trough at the beginning of November 2011. I think Tim had snow with that one too... 

[snow_wizard]

Totally unreal out their right now snowing with vis down to about 1/4 mile and a dusting on the ground.  Temp is now down to 34.

[TT-SEA]

Light snow reported at Boeing Field, Renton, JBLM McCord, JBLM Fort Lewis, Puyallup, and Tacoma narrows with snow reported at SeaTac.

 

That band sure did miss King County...

 

The north part of the band sure did get active.

I don’t think that one was nearly as impressive up north though.

I had a feeling about this one...it had a vort max look to it on the radar.

 

As I mentioned lat night...I will take my chances being on the NW quadrant of a low anytime around here.

[Guest happ]

Good catch! I didn’t look outside today until just now. Total bunner.

 

Go outside Jesse because it is a lot warmer in Portland than Seattle. Maybe you could fly a kite instead of looking into your computer screen all day.     

[Front Ranger]

It was pretty clear about an hour beforehand it wasn't going to miss King County. At lease to anyone without a weird narrative to push.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I feel like at the upper level it was pretty similar. Just didn't have the lower level CAA this one does.

Facebook had a memory from this day in 2011 and it looked sunny and nice... when was that event?

March 2018 = March 2012

I thought it was sliding mostly to the south.  

[Front Ranger]

Very snowy at Tiger Mountain.

[tim] Watch this be the peak of your winter! [/tim]

Much colder air in BC this time too. As we all know that can make all the difference.

[Deweydog]

3/3 baby!

[TT-SEA]

Just no f*cking excuse for this field goal crap.   What a joke.  Demoralizing.  

 

Should be leading by 4.

Portable iPhones are awesome.

 

Have you even gotten down to PDX’s high temp today yet this fall? I’m sure it would feel very cold out there to you.

[Geos]

Congrats to those getting decent snow this afternoon. Half the snow from this morning has melted off here.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Yes. 

[Front Ranger]

3/3 baby!

 

At this rate, he'll never have to endure another miserable, dreary, dank, depressing, wet day at the Clink ever again.

Yeah but I am nearly 1000 miles south of Seattle instead of 173.8 miles.

Climoburn!!!

The weather can vary a lot here over short distances. Part of what makes this climate interesting.

Oh snap.

[Jesse]

I don’t remember it very well. If it had featured the Puget Sound’s earliest snowfall in decades I probably would remember it better.

Just wait until we get HIT this winter!!! Gonna put last year's Portland 12hour snowfall totals to shame.

I was thinking that too.   He has not been good this year.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Round 2

 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Round 2

 

Getting promising something will happen later in the month.

5th: 44/35

6th: 44/35

 

Only about half inch of precip that weekend though. Been almost 2" of precip with this trough. 

[TT-SEA]

Brutal game.

[luvssnow_spokane]

What the hell is up with the Seahawks??!!!!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Exactly two weeks later a 2nd colder trough dropped in.

 

18th: 36/31 4" of snow
