PNW February 2023 Weather Discussion - Meteorological winter finale

For anyone who moves to the island, avoid the area to the SE of that red line at all costs if you enjoy weather. It does alright maybe once a winter, but you're constantly watching places just 10~20 miles away getting double or triple your totals on every other event. Things look good under that band out toward Shawnigan's area.

About 6” so far here.  Hrdps suggests things get nuts with the deformation band after midnight.

WV gets in on some pepto as well!

Holy crap... that is so cool.  

Yeah, ran upstairs to get my wife and it was walking past our window as I turned the light on. Didn't even care the light turned on.

Snowing in Bellevue hills

I was looking at the radar and saw this. The green is going towards the radar and the red is going away from the radar. It's a little strange that there is green where the red should be but in the other radar, you actually can see a Circular motion.

Nice.

Appears this entire batch of moisture is going to miss my area to the west.

It shows Mossman getting crushed so maybe it's onto something.

[Weiner Warrior]

Something tells me @MossMan is going to be the big winner of this event.

Soggy snowflakes mixing in at the backend of this moisture

[VancouverIslandSouth]

FWIW here's the hi-res WRF:

[SnowWillarrive]

Moderate snow here. Hope we get some bigger bands coming through. 

[Cloud]

Flakes mixed in at about 300’.

maybe just high enough to get meaningful accumulation later.

Wow... so close to me and yet its totally dry here and I can see the moon through the clouds.

I’ve had a hell of a day with sick kids who will be home with us tomorrow while we try and WFH. Can someone just tell me NE Seattle is getting some snow please. I may have told my eldest she would wake up to snow, so I blame all those BOOM posts over the past week if she’s let down.

Tomorrow afternoon looks very good for that area.

YYJ and the Saanich peninsula get crushed between about 1 and 4 am

Starting to not feel that good about tonight IMBY. Could just be the weenie thoughts getting to me.

[SnowySeeker50]

Switched over to snow and down to 33 degrees.

[snow_wizard]

It is snowing here, but it's very wet.  At least it's a good sign for later.

That thing tomorrow afternoon does look like an interesting wildcard.  Maybe it will sag a bit south of expectations.

Crossing my fingers we can get some steadier bands comings through. This spotty precip is irritating.

The more solid stuff is supposed to be quite a bit later.

[snow_wizard]

North winds at a buoy that is south of where the low is supposed to be right now.  Could be a good sign.

[SouthHillFrosty]

Looks like I turned to a wet snow!

It's been snowing pretty much all day here but nothing has stuck, temps have been around 34 and it's just too mild with everything melting on contact for hours!

No complaints though, got a 14" dump just before Christmas and 8" yesterday. Winter gets a B+ from me. And it hasn't been that cold which is good for me as I'm not a fan.

B+ here as well.  Not a whole lot of snow, just 5.75" on the season, but it's been cool and fun. Plus those 2" of high quality fluff followed by a 26/15 day. Pretty noice. Lots of winters go by here without anything remotely close.

[RayRay]

36 degrees and heavy rain here at UW

[RayRay]

It just started snowing omg!!!!

 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Snowing and 32. Looks like this band is short lived though and it's moving fast. Things should ramp up when the trough moves in over us

[snowbustcity]

Heavy rain in NE Seattle - maybe some mixed precip in there.

[gusky]

Dumping huge flakes in Ravenna, N Seattle now. 

[Cold Snap]

Well despite some strong echos I’m only seeing a few flakes. Hopefully the air can get saturated more.

[WeatheringLoyalHeights]

Chunky flakes here north of Ballard too! Sounds like rain drops still mixed in though

Yeah when it is all snow the flakes are huge and wet. That's what you get when its 35F ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Hawksfan2008]

Off to bed as this appears to be a rug pull for many. Here’s to rooting on the southern cluster. 4 am. Night all!

Yep definitely some of the biggest flakes I’ve seen. Seems to be all snow now! Already sticking to some surfaces
