Wow looks like a heavy shower towards Yew St Hill in the 2nd camera

The quality of those cams is amazing.  Love seeing it starting as snow.

Really not good. Guess I can sleep well tonight though not having to worry about it. A grey nothing burger!

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!

If this next storm comes through as modeled I think we will see snow depths in town that havent been seen since 1968-1969. wild 

 

 

This is pretty much the best developing story of this winter. From Dec up through now... A genuine drought-buster of a wet season for a region that has been crippled in the last several years. This is about the best case scenario.

Really amazing quality. 

My parents live within walking distance of that location so its really nice for me to check on what is happening there.   My mother never knows how to view them but she will call me during winter weather and ask me how the roads are at Barkley and I can give her a fairly precise answer thanks to those cameras.

Been pulling back severely on the south sound with each run

That is a bit overstated.

Definitely some uncertainty regarding tomorrow night.  The ECMWF keeps wanting to put some snow over parts of King County, but the GFS doesn't show it.

Interesting, I was expecting my DP to be up from my last check at 27…It’s down to 23 with the temp spike to 37…Odd! 

That means things are just mixing a bit.

It was showing 9-10in possibly in the south sound this week and now it’s down 3-5. Still good tho

The good news on this GFS run is the low track.  Should keep things decently chilly Tuesday afternoon.  Precip amounts change a lot from run to run.

There will probably be some scattered snow tomorrow night, Monday night could actually be a bigger deal than tonight.

Was there possibly evaporative cooling going on that has since stopped and it was just going on above you so you only saw the temp and dew point change but no precip? 🤔

Monday night and Tuesday is the big show for the Seattle area.

Deep cold trough is there again early in week two.  This is going to last for a while.

That's been the story here on the island most of the winter, and the Central Sound in general.  I have see many C S's mention the same.  This finally looks better for this area.  We have had some snow here on a few occasions this winter, so I am not super disappointed.  But if the models as they look now come close to verifying over the next few days, this winter will redeem itself IMO in IMBY.

BTW @snow_wizard--  You have been pretty chilled out this winter.  No pun intended.😂
