Wow... 00Z GEM is way colder than its 12Z run.    ECMWF should follow suit tonight and finally move towards the EPS.

It probably will.

And it is. Snowing heavily and turning white.

00z GFS 10 Day Rainfall, Snowfall totals

[Cold Snap]

Starting to get the feeling someone in the south sound is going to score big tonight.

[Requiem]

Some heavier snow now

How deep in South Hill are you?? I'm most of the way up the hill on Shaw Road and... bone dry! Not a flake in the sky! Sure looks like it's snowy a few miles North towards the Sumner valley though.  

Phone still says... 36 and snow. I need to figure out what it is about this neighborhood that seems to stay in the Twilight Zone.

Looking real snowy in Maple Valley. This can’t be more than like ten miles from Snow Wiz.

Dumping here just outside maple valley. I’m in Ravensdale. Already up to an inch. 

[snow_wizard]

33.8 now.  This is turning out better than I had hoped.

[RentonHill]

GEM makes it look so easy

[SnowySeeker50]

It's beautiful

Some of those early runs like the Canadian high def might not be wrong. They were showing a band of 6+ inches over us. 

[Blizzard777]

I’m currently in Tennessee but enjoying the snow on the nest cams!  Looks likes it really coming down and everything turning white

Consolation prize I’m going to be a foodie gluten for a bit!  Assorted smoked meats tonight with delicious sides!   10 lbs gained

Enjoy the snow all

36*

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Light snow here and blowing all around. 34 degrees.

[bainbridgekid]

Decent looking shower moving into the Everett/Lynnwood/Edmonds/Shoreline corridor. May impact North Seattle too.

[Gradient Keeper]

00z GEM full run. C'MON!!!!

[snow_wizard]

GFS just keeps the cold coming.  It gets more continental eventually.

That's getting kind of like 1951.

[TacomaWx]

Lol of course I’m gone from home and a snow event happens.

I might actually see some snow!

[Cold Snap]

Looks like the Vancouver Island convergence zone might be picking back up a bit.

[T-Town]

Looks like grauple here.

It's not a good run. I'm not going to sugar coat it.

[SnowySeeker50]

Its just nuking out there. Probably the heaviest I've seen in a while. Temperature plummeted to 32.5

[snow_wizard]

The models did a great job on picking up the displaced C-Zone tonight.

South Sound slackers we are !   Ugh 

[Gradient Keeper]

35.6 with moderate wet snow! C'MON!!!!

[bainbridgekid]

I-5 is snow covered and they’re getting hammered in Federal Way. This is going to be good for the South Sound.

Not gonna lie painful to miss out on a south sound convergence snow. It’s probably going to end up being decent there if I had to guess. I’ll be back in the morning though!

Remarkable temp drop.  Combination of CAA and the cooling effects of the C-Zone.  Feb delivers again!

Looks like that Canadian mesoscale model last night was onto something.  Very impressive!

[Doinko]

Dry here now. Looks like it's cold enough for any more precip to probably accumulate at least on the grass
