I have to be up at 4 so this is about it for me. I will promise a 4 am snow report though. 

So you’re not going to pull an all-nighter? I find your lack of dedication quite disturbing.

There was a time but that time has passed. It is suddenly dumping huge flakes though. 

[snow_wizard]

Exactly 1 inch here so far.

Better than a mid grade winter so far now. 

[Kolk1604]

Walked into my dark kitchen to throw something away, looked out the window and in the pitch black, I saw some light...

Yeah, it switched over here. Snowing decently actually. 

 

[T-Town]

I seem to be the only person in the neighborhood standing outside watching it snow. Weird.

Looks like the back edge of moisture over DT Seattle now. Hope we get a little more fun tonight. Still fairly heavy to moderate snow here.

Sounds like your neighborhood is full of a bunch of morons!

It sounds like your neighbors need to change their priorities to me.

[Weiner Warrior]

Snow has ended. Winter is over

[MossMan]

I posted the short video of my snow from earlier on FB and a friend I went to high school with commented “It’s just snow get over it” 

Yeah he lives in Fairbanks. 

[Cold Snap]

I have a nice dusting now!

I would have to say B- if nothing else were to happen for the rest of the winter, which isn't going to be the case.

Fair amount of snow to date

Decent number of freezing mins

A few solid cold snaps

[Cascadia_Wx]

Just had a nice all snow shower move through. Big fat flakes and it was coming down hard. Have a solid dusting now, and the temp is down to 33. Should bode well when more organized precip moves in later tonight.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Down to 29 with moderate snow, haven’t measured but this last shower has us over an inch now. Dogs were loving it earlier. 

[Fircrest]

Turning white!

[TacomaWx]

Well the trough Andrew hyped up all week but nobody took seriously until a couple days ago might just end up being the best event of the winter. 

[snow_wizard]

GEFS has snow written all over it later in the month.  Then it looks more continental.

Maybe for some places . Still light snow here and 31 degrees.  Elevation doing its thing here tonight with that 31 degrees.

The models seem to accurately pick up these cold maritime systems. Everyone can enjoy cold onshore flow!

Looks like a sharp cut off in moisture  just south of Tacoma.

Nice! Just slush here. Just a small increase in elevation making a big difference.

00z ECMWF Day 1

Jim and Tim by the end of the month if they lived next to each other!

Snowing in Puyallup I heard!!! The swamp is no more!

Might not even crack the top 10 events of this winter here. Lol

[Kolk1604]

Live update. 

Too bad we couldn't have big flakes like this all the time... 

 

[Cold Snap]

Snow letting down now. Picked up a quarter of an inch of snow out of that! That was pretty fun! Hopefully SEA picked up measurable snow as well!

[FroYoBro]

It was just a quick shower, but it was moderate snow with some stickage in spots. Down to 34 and everything else should pretty much be sticking snow. Just need some organized showers later. 

[Kolk1604]

@SouthHillFrosty You called it. It's going to be a least a couple of inches

Day 3

[SnowWillarrive]

I wish this could last all night. We have about 3.5 inches here. 

[snow_wizard]

ECMWF says no snow with the thing late tonight, but it does show it dropping below freezing in quite a few places.

This is really cold onshore flow and with a very sharp trough.  Certainly better chances for this area in a case like this.

[SnowySeeker50]

Looks like precip is winding down and meltage is starting to take its hit. A good 2 inches

I thought you might have done quite a bit better than me on this one.  A little over an inch here.

[Slushy Inch]

Dam extra innings.
