It's showing what was supposed to have already fallen as of 11am. And it's actually pretty close. This same map turns into 2-3ft across the whole metro shortly after that frame. Definitely not a bad map lol

He means it is already inaccurate. Sticking snow was not close to being that widespread this morning.

I drove apparently through 2-3" of snow my whole commute and just never realized it I guess.

Temp slowly dropping here under this current enhancement. Down to 32.9 and starting to stick a little more efficiently again. Could just be the precip rates but have to think some of that offshore flow is working its way into the mid levels here now. Doubt there will be much more warming here today.

Looks like we are at 37. Hasn't snowed since around 8:45. Hoping we can get some more soon

Yup, down to 32.8 here with the east wind picking up in gusts. DP is down to 30. Snow still coming down hard, over an inch now and sticking even in the roads.

I had a fear we would waste some of our best moisture in the high sun angle afternoon but things still seem to be working out. Just an hour to go until peak insolation!

Switching over to snow at river level here in S. Salem. Wonder if @Jakewestsalem is seeing some stickage with this band.

Euro and GEM hold serve for the weekend threat. Amazing how consistent they have been. Still think the skunk potential is high for the Seattle area. The low placement and strength isn't ideal. But given the surprise this morning, I'm hoping for a change in the right direction. 

Really rooting for the PDX peeps. It's time you guys get what we had Valentine's day 2021.

I bet this band drops 2-3" per hour snowfall rates once it gets into the foothills.

A pretty nice chilly Tacoma day. Could use some 10” of snow but this can do for now before hoping to score this weekend.

Heavy snow falling now in S. Salem, but it's about 35 degrees, so not sticking.

I have a band moving just south of me going SE and might clip me but whats interesting temps have quickly jumped from 37 to 39f.  Previous shower bands were from the west or moving NW and temps would drop.  Must be a slight shift in wind direction but it was a quick jump in temp.

Based on radar it does look like the south sound might start getting in on some action soon.
