Impressively snowy in the Puyallup swamp right now!    That area seems to be right where the moist air is hitting the dry outflow.   To the north of there it looks dry.    Also snowing pretty good around Tacoma.

Was just going to say that. I'm surprised it's snowing with a dew point of 12. Figured it would be too dry

The ECMWF has been showing some situations early next week like this but with much weaker outflow and further north.  I'm going to be watching that one!  With such cold air in place over Central WA easterly seepage could work wonders for outflow areas.

There's one stronger batch of moisture working it's way further north.  Might get interesting for more places later.

Yeah... less cold air aloft and weaker outflow might end up being much more snowy.

Looks like Salem is getting some pretty heavy snow right now. Sticking to the streets all parts of the city per cams.

Back to moderate-ish snow here. I think this enhancing area and that band curling out of Salem should consolidate over the SW and west metro. @Doinko should be getting hit again soon.

Just went out for a walk. Very windy and cold. Hoping for a couple more inches maybe

Seems possible if that band can come up here. Its dumping in SLE and accumulating really fast. 

I hope it also spreads into SW PDX to hit those people that got pretty much completely missed so far too.

Also a bit colder here than Salem, so if we could get those rates then that would be amazing. Hoping it can stall around the SW metro area too, I really feel bad for that area.

Seems like an okay chance PDX could manage a subfreezing high tomorrow if everything goes well and then maybe drop into the teens with their huge snowpack.

Radar is clearly enhancing over us now. Snow falling there again? Should be soon if it isn't already.

I'm thinking another shot of Arctic air in early March has a very decent chance of happening as the NAO block bridges with the PNA block.  Awesome situation we're in right now.
