February Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[FroYoBro]

Heavy rain shower here. 44 degrees.

[MossMan]

All snow here now with a temp of 33.

 

The layer of hail is helping the snow to accumulate easier.

I have a feeling you and others in the CZ are going to be quite happy by the end of the day! Post pictures if you can!

[GHweatherChris]

That was fun, got about 2 minutes of heavy snow before this cell started moving out, was not expecting any frozen precip until later.

You might do really good tonight. That sat loop looks impressive. I will be in the fuckking shadow all day.

Great wrap up on the cold snap for The Dalles.

Just depends on how much moisture keeps streaming and track, these post frontal situations have not worked out much this year with showers staying either to the north or south of me as they move through.

38 with a dp of 34 closer

Ditto!

[FroYoBro]

That was a stormy shower. Down to 40 now. 

[Geos]

Easily the heaviest snow I've seen since Christmas. Beautiful.

Nice. Post a picture.

 

Had a really good burst of snow at about 12. Now the precip isnt heavy enough to turn the rain over.

[Geos]

Been dumping up by Index and Skykomish today.

The C-Zone is breaking down, but the models insist on one between 1 and 4 this afternoon.  It might rekindle a bit later.  At any rate there are ton of cold showers off the coast and some people are going to score.

[snow_wizard]

Wow!  The down sloping east of the Cascades has destroyed the cold air over there.  Getting to be that time of year now I guess.

[snow_wizard]

Truly impressive one week anomaly map for the NW.  

 

 

[luminen]

Sunny and windy here.

[snow_wizard]

Looks like the trajectory may become more WSW and allow showers to make it to south King County.  Still wondering what is going on with that C-Zone.  All models say it should be alive for hours yet.

[seattleweatherguy]

Sun peaking out now

[kokaneekidz]

That was one hell of a post Christmas madness! We had to race over to the family lake house to shovel the then flat roof before it collapsed. We put a regular roof on it during the spring of 1997 due to that worry. 20” of snow fell that Saturday night before heavy rain fell on it Sunday morning. Had 8” on the ground before the 20” fell...it was crazy!

Yeah we may not see another episode in our lifetimes again. But never say never.. Just unlikely

[snow_wizard]

Mason County is filling now.  Showers are hooking around the south end of the Olympics.  Should be fun to see how this all comes together.

Looks better. Crossing fingers but not expecting much

[VancouverIslandSouth]

Looks like it dropped below 33F in Tofino with a snowshower. That's some impressive cold for mid-day in late February right on the west coast.

[GHweatherChris]

And snowing again, these cells just are not big enough to do much though.

[snow_wizard]

I sure hate the Olympics in these cases.  Still some chances coming up for King County though.  A bit of a wildcard is when the flow becomes more northerly later this evening.  We'll have to see if any showers might still be in play at that time.

[MossMan]

Looks like the CZ is reforming just to my south and it has really clouded up here. Quite the NW breeze blowing.

[FroYoBro]

The mountains are getting nuked down here today.

[MossMan]

A little rough up at the passes today.

[Blizzard777]

Snow in the straits, I like it

Imagine how awesome our climate would be with no cascades or rockies to the east and no Olympics to our west. 

 

For the past week I have been particularly frustrated with the Olympic mountains. They are certainly not worth any CZ zone. They have done an epic screw job on us this winter. 

[Winterdog]

New CZ firing up just between Edmonds and Everett

edit: I see Mossman already pointed it out.

We should all get together and take action.

For an inland location you sure get a lot of wind. It's been relatively calm here today.

[Guest Sounder]

Pretty interesting temperature map for the central Sound this afternoon. Huge spread between the Kitsap Peninsula and parts of the Eastside. 50 degrees on the water in Bremerton and 34 in Sammamish. Great example of why any good weenie should avoid waterfront property around here.
 
You can also see exactly where the CZ is without even looking at the radar with that strip of low temperatures from Port Ludlow to South Everett. If that CZ sticks around for a few more hours someone could score big a little later. Looking at traffic cams it doesn't look like it's fully switched to snow in the CZ yet though.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

43 with light rain

[MossMan]

I could be wrong but it appears that the 18z is a notch or two cooler for the weekend...

Friday looks slightly more snowy for parts of the sound as well.

[Geos]

Edmonds and Mill Creek getting blasted by the CZ right now. 

Snowing really hard around Paine Field.

Looks like potential does exist. Might be one of our last chances for decent snow for the season. 

 

[HighlandExperience]

Wow that CZ is intense. Hope it can drop south over all King County. 

[The Swamp]

Heavy shower here dropped the temp from 47 to 43.

 

Coolish rain.

[Geos]

Wow that CZ is intense. Hope it can drop south over all King County. 

 

Just looking to the north from here it is quite dark. Looks to be moving ESE right now.

Wow, yeah that’s putting it lightly.
