This winter has been borning not only on the lack of snow but the lack of wind events which is unusal for La ninas as it one thing we do well in with La ninas are big wind events.

I’m sure March and April will have plenty of wind, lol. Never fails.

I've lowered my standards.  1/4" of wet slush makes me so happy!

It was a great hour last night between 9 and 10pm.

[SimplySmoothWX]

A trace in most spots. Sidewalks have black ice on them, but the roads are fine. Hillsboro was close to a nasty morning commute.

Icon moving in the right direction at the end of its run.

I'm just happy to have a bit more than a dusting. At least I didn't get shut out for the year. Still 33 degrees. Hopefully there will be a few more flakes in the next hour or two. 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

just a dusting here but only 28 degrees. This could of been a nice regional event if the low had been stronger, it was a perfect track for the entire area.

Glad I didn’t miss anything too crazy. Would’ve been tough to miss out if there had been several inches of snow like places further north and east. Seems like we were just a little too far SW to get the best of this one…but maybe we make up for it in about 10 days. 

It was fun to watch the convergence zone form over Tacoma. Don’t get to see that very often. But yeah, you didn’t miss anything epic.

26.8F this morning with heavy frost. 
 

Tim. How much snow did you get?

Most of the schools in east king county had a two hour delay. We are just tougher out here

[T-Town]

Snowing lightly here. Wasn’t expecting that.

Nothing here mostly clear all night.

[MossMan]

Power went out for a few seconds…The grid up here is already freaking out about what’s coming! 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Absolutely wicked trough on the 12z GFS. About a week out. 

[OysterPrintout]

Glad I watched it snow for 5 min before I went to bed cause by morning 

[Gummy]

Dusting in North Seattle, coated the streets a bit on the higher hills.

Seems like this may have been a warning shot for the REAL deal. The worm has turned.

I’ve already sacrificed enough the last 2 winters. I’ll never forgive myself for missing out on the 1/4” blessing. 

[SouthHillFrosty]

Close your eyes Portland….

Wow. If these model trends continue for next week, this place is going to go bonkers. Hope the 12z Euro doesn’t pull back much from its 00z run. 

[SnowySeeker50]

Looks like Auburn school district is sticking with a 2 hour delay. 31 degrees and the sun is starting to peak out

[SilverFallsAndrew]

GEM is on board too. 

[TacomaWx]

Nice to see all the models seem to like the idea of snow in about 8-9 days. 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Holy next week has my attention!

[LowerGarfield]

Pretty quiet day here, sitting at 33F and had a good burst of snow grains right as we left for school so that was fun.
