Here was the PDX NWS's forecast the night before this crazy snowstorm. Now we can evaluate how they did. 

I have what looks like about 6 inches, will get an exact measurement soon. Amazing event.

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!

This is a first: There was a solid dusting on the ground when I went to bed last night. This morning, almost none of it remains. It was below freezing all night. Dry outflow wind at work. 26.1˚F.

I can’t count how many times we’ve lost inches snow due to sublimation in cold/dry air. It sucks.

I'm pretty sure La Nina is dead SST wise gonna a take 4 weeks for atmospheric pattern to change up so likely gonna be very Nina like thru at least late March somewhere 20th of March on up pattern may change.

La Niña is dead, period. I’m leaning more towards El Niño now, big big big shake-up in the tropical circulation thanks to the SSW.

The Sunday event is solid... but after that you can see how the GFS just compounds its low resolution issues with marginal temps.

Even Dr. No has me getting almost 10" Sunday! Now to get the Euro on board with such amounts.

Looks pretty amazing for the northern areas and probably the Hood Canal.

Wind switch happened with this band. Amazing how quick we flipped from clear skies to snow again.

How do you think we do in the EPSL and foothills Sunday?

We should get 2-3 inches with the main front.   Interestingly the models show the strongest SW wind gusts in the foothills on Sunday.    But it will be a cold SW wind with convective precip and sun breaks.     There could be occasional snow out here in the post-frontal action despite a roaring SW wind.   Unusual set up.

Final total in Salmon Creek. Less than 1". It's actually impressive how awful this area did relative to everyone else in the metro area. Congrats to everyone else, enjoy! I expect the sun will have most of this melted here by the afternoon.
