SnowHawks Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 I was living temporarily in Fair Oaks, Ca and remembering how bummed out I was for missing a great snow event. The best I could do is watch You Tube videos of the event. Not quite the same as experiencing it in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MossMan Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Love the pic I took just minutes before the first flakes started to fly on 2/3/19…The beginning of a great period! My favorite day of that whole period was 2/10/19…We went from deep full blue sky to heavy snow in just a matter of hours!

Key difference is that February 2017 brought significant fruit for SEA to the point where as far as official stations go it nearly balanced out. Of course, that *and* February 2019 was far snowier for the Puget Sound than January 2017 was for the WV. 3 Quote "Let's mosey!" --Cloud Strife ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Top 5 Snow Events (post 2014): (1.
