Yea I think above 750 should be good. Just getting a little cold rain this morning and 34.9 degrees

honestly it will range from sea level to 1000ft. Just wont know till it happens.  

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

That is a really nice band lifting north through the south sound. Looking like it will drop a few inches in favored places. Even with the model trends tonight will be very interesting for many places.

Saw this coming from a mile away. Atmospheric memory---Vancouver gets another 5 inches, Seattle gets rain. This winter is exhausting. If Seattle goes grey on the next Euro snow map, it's over for downtown.

 

Still so happy Portland pulled off that miracle event last week. That's the saving grace of this winter imo. 

[Blizzard777]

Very light snow falling

33*

[MWG]

Currently 36F. 

Sigh! 

[Olive1010]

Ah bruh we got nothing here west of Portland last night 

[WildrootParable]

I didn't want to say anything until it was clearly a thing, but it's a thing, now: it's been snowing steadily here for the last hour, but in the last 15 minutes or so the flakes have gotten fat and fluffy. We got barely a dusting overnight but what's falling now is slowly refreshing what we lost yesterday and is beginning to clearly stick to the trees. Maybe a half inch of new stuff already. 

[Blizzard777]

Snowfall has increased

Nice little spin on the satellite moving north towards Olympic Peninsula.

It’s pretty much everywhere south of Everett that’s in trouble as of this morning. When all the models shifted this morning that’s a pretty strong signal that this is going to bust IMO. 

Lol you guys are funny. I wake up and see this crap.

Let's be honest, you don't care. If it's not the Euro, you don't believe it.

Looking like the house will get a couple inches this morning. Driving me crazy not to be there!! 

Insane difference between there and work, just some patches of snow at work and 34 degrees with some flurries and at home it was 31 and snowing with snow on the trees and about 4 inches left in the shade from yesterday.

Yeah I really dislike that as well! I just got to work which is 0.8 mile from my house and there is maybe a generous half inch and no snow on the trees, but it’s at 350’ and my house is around 580’…Always a huge difference unless we are in a December 2008 type situation where elevation makes no difference. I want to go home!!! Lol! That is what made December 2021 so special with it happening between Christmas and New Years, I always take that time off work and that time it was perfect timing!! Here is work and here is home when I left 10min ago. 

[BurienSnowGlobe]

Forks area getting slammed. This is 8:24AM and 9:00AM

I hope you weren’t expecting any or still expecting some.

The consensus of all the other models despite them generally being less skillful than the euro is still a valuable tool. Still a lot of uncertainty to how tomorrow morning plays out…could still go ok but I doubt it…especially if the euro shifts in the direction of the other models. 

[Cold Snap]

Time to revive hope from Everett south with the FV3 and ARW!

You are far enough west to actually see something I guess.  I am currently up the hill on 19th near Parks HQ and nothing happening...though I did see a couple of flakes

We’ve had a few flurries but that’s it. Sky is brightening now so I think that’s it.

Same scene out here in Sunnyslope, too. I'm calling it now: if the precipitation sticks around all day, like it's "supposed" to, and somehow we manage to avoid it turning to rain at any point, then the 4-5 inches they predicted for us is lowballing it.

Snow stopped….it’s over, winter cancel . Just want to be part of the group

[MossMan]

Another pic from work, and the same pic zoomed in, you can see just the slightest elevation makes a huge difference! I am behind those snow covered trees and even higher than that. And my computer is also unsure about the incoming precip type! 

[BlvuSumit]

Looking WSW towards SeaTac Mercer island, snow looks to be surfacing finally (was a surface dry layer)

[MossMan]

GO WRF!!! Literally a dot of purple over my house! 

[BurienSnowGlobe]

Moderate to Heavy snow in Burien and sticking to some side roads

[GHweatherChris]

Moderate snow.

[Port Angeles Foothiller]

 

I'm in the red circle. Vomit. Going to get shadowed again.... forget snow, we really need the precip.

I feel this so hard. Nothing here last night. I was a little splotch of green in a sea of blue the night before.

Every single day seems to be a "Looks ok for the South Sound" evening, and every day--nothing. Nothing but a few traces since our November snow.

I mean it's even snowing on the coast right now, but this little neighborhood in North Puyallup can't catch a break! Give me somethin!

 

 

[Weiner Warrior]

Light snow bellevue

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

I feel like the models will be useless the next 36 hrs. The snow maps are all over the place.

Nothing yet in Redmond but based on radar and reports down south it shouldn’t be long before it’s here. 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Crappy pic from home but looks like 2 inches fresh.

[BlvuSumit]

Light snow now hills of bellevue

Yeah, despite the majority of the models going to crap there’s still a decent chance everything turns out fine. Considering that they’re all over the place maybe we shouldn’t put much faith into any one solution right now and go off the trademarked GOLU/radar models.
