A part of the band over the Puget Sound has made its way inland over the Edmonds area and is expanding a bit. Good to see that it’s not getting shredded apart at least.

Yep, decent little shower here. I'm on my in laws back deck grilling some tri tip in the snow 😀

On satellite it looks like the low is still shifting a bit more north, not sure if I'm getting fooled or not. 

That could be the reason the South Sound is getting snow and the models changed on the 18z.

Down into the 31s here now.  ECMWF shows this wind will be blowing at around 22 degrees late tonight.

00z HRRR gets the band out of here in a hurry after sunset. Goes for 0-2 inches in the west metro. Strong totals downtown and north. Looking at the radar and the bigger picture, I doubt it will play out like this.

Hrrr has performed like garbage don't sweat it

It looks like the best chance for places in the central and south valley start between midnight - 2am for Eugene, 4-6am for Salem to Wilsonville. That band may also lift through the metro area during mid morning and eventually disintegrate as the low picks up speed moving south.

Looks like some juicier stuff is getting into southeast King County now.

You’ve gotta imagine this should fill in somehow..

That’s what I’m hoping! It seems like it would because it’s filling up in the north sound where the dry Fraser outflow is.

Dumping snow and 29 degrees with a nice breeze, 1/2 already.

This will actually be quality snow for you.  I know that isn't the case with a lot of the snow you get.  Going to be a great late season event when all is said and done.

Looking at the news from PDX, looked like lots of people got caught by the snow and are now stuck in traffic trying to get home. A predictable consequence of failing to issue a warning despite the model guidance that something significant was highly likely.

It's called clown range for a reason.

Weird.  Historically late February used to be kind of a snow hole in the records.  That is being made up for big time.

Hello,

Need some quick advice. My daughter is in Portland for work (just finished) and is wondering if it's safe for her to drive home to Lynnwood. She said snow is sticking to the streets. She's wondering if she should overnight in Portland and head back tomorrow, or make a break for it right now. Your thoughts?

You could see it coming from a mile away.  I was pretty mystified last night.
