We’ve been getting more frequent bursts of snow here…which usually indicates the snow will eventually break through. Models showed this taking some time, so I’m not worried about it yet. 

Yeah, I just needed to be a little more patient.  It's coming down nicely now and sticking to the car tops.  Also heard that the Tacoma School District where my wife works has already announced 2 hour late start for tomorrow.

Finally snowing again. Coming down pretty good. 

Can confirm finally getting accumulation on cars and elevated surfaces. Temps down to 32. Took it’s sweet a** time but it looks like the precip has finally broken through.

A most incredible snow storm. At times the snowfall rates have been as heavy or slightly heavier than January 2017. Temp 27.5, Dewpoint: 27.1 with gusty east wind and very heavy snow continuing. I'm at 11 1/2" now! UNBELIEVABLE!!!! This pic does no justice at all.

Finally down to an official freezing reading in the last 15 minutes. Been getting a good amount of 33 degree sticking snow though. About an inch. It might not go for much longer here based on the radar, but I'm pretty happy that everything is covered, so anything from here is bonus.

Nothing more than a trace up here today, but it was a pretty chilly day. Midnight high of 36F and it only made it up to 33F during the daylight hours. Not particularly optimistic about picking anything else up in the next couple weeks (temps looks pretty marginal for all the snow shown, especially with my proximity to the water), which makes me even happier with my December snow. I'm spending quite a bit of time now pretty far up the Skagit River Valley so it's kind of funny that there's no snow up there either (below 2,000') while Portland and a couple other lowland areas are getting nuked.

31F currently.

Still nothing in Corvallis but I see precip coming over the coast range. Can’t be too long before it arrives!

Glad those in Portland area are finally scoring an event, my mom and dad are sending pics of snow piling up. You guys deserve it after years of watching the Sound score while you get skunked, lol.

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!
