Power is out here.  The price you pay for a foot of 33F snow. 

I feel so sorry for you.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Looks like that area between Salem and Dallas is getting hammered. @Roman-Dallas Snow-Zone

[snow_wizard]

It has to really try hard to snow so little out of so much cold weather.  0.6" here out of the entire event.

[Ray]

It was 35 and rain this morning.  Just can't seem to get a win this winter here.

@Mid Valley Duck looks good down your way. 

Solid dusting so far. Sticking well to non pavement, slushy mess on pavement

Just saw lightning to the east over maybe the east metro

Yep. Major suckage. Can’t believe I got less than an inch out of all of these events combined.

Lots of black ice this way this morning. I guess someone could have been a transformer ?

[Christensen87]

Bummer. 

[The Cats Meow]

Crazy pattern.  Folks in Oregon should enjoy.

Not likely to repeat this pattern again in our lifetime.

Looks like a band setting up between I 84 and the Columbia river.

Even up here here is barely an inch of snow on the ground.    None of these snow events have amounted to much of anything in my area.

SD update for my general area…Lakewood and Granite Falls are closed, Marysville, Lake Stevens, and Arlington are 2hrs late. No report from Stanwood. 
Still snowing quite heavily and 32.5 degrees. DP 32.0. 

[TT-SEA]

37 in North Bend this morning... wind is still roaring here.

[stargazer82a]

I don’t ever really post but I’m super disappointed. The models get us all excited and and then roll over and say not tonight I have a headache  

love everyone’s pics though 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

@MossMan

I got sno 2

[MossMan]

Winterdog Jake…Are you getting puked on (the good kind) as well? 

[MikeInEverett]

Randy we need a measurement!!

[TacomaWx]

Glad I got over an inch of snow Sunday morning…because this busted big time it appears. Saw some rain/snow mix early this morning when I got up…but nothing more. No accumulation I saw on the drive to Redmond this morning. Thought it would be a nightmare Getting up here yesterday morning but only took 50 minutes less than usual.

Yea total bust wow 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I am truly sorry for Washington folx. But at least Mossman is getting a dumping and every dog has their day. 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Ended up with 1 inch overnight.  What a epic fail for the entire area. Really wish that low would of came in south for everyone to get in on the action. There have been more model fails this year than I can remember 

 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Speaking of bust. I said snow wouldn’t stick below 700’ in NW Oregon. WRONG!

At this point I'm not concerned if I get any I just wish other places would have

It sucks especially for anyone who didn’t manage any snow last Wednesday or Sunday. Atleast we did here both times. 

[TT-SEA]

Remaining snow to fall today per the 12Z NAM.

Looks like that band could set up over Portland soon and possibly give us an inch or more

[Phishy Wx]

about 5" overnight.

Light Snow 32 DP 28

Tape measure is missing in action (think I left it in my shop along with my 15 others that all keep making it out there from the house) but it looks like 4” or so

NAM 3k hit this one pretty good

RDPS was pretty good too

Euro underperformed amounts

GFS was closer

We will see, not expecting a whole lot going forward but it is possible. We’ve scored a below normal winter with above normal snowfall…so I’m pretty happy where we stand if we’re done with snow this year. 

[Phishy Wx]

The meso the NWS was talking about in their discussion around 8pm last night is pivoting through the Spokane area as we speak and is noticeable on radar

Awesome!! Looks like you’ll end up with anywhere between 5-8” from this.

[TT-SEA]

The deformation band is sort of curling around Bellingham... looks like only a dusting up there so far.     Not sure if it will make it that far north.    

[Phishy Wx]

looks like one more heavy band to pivot through and it should start calming down, unless there is more back buildings south of here.  Temps are right at freezing so, its heavy wet snow

[MossMan]

The wind has stopped and the trees are starting to look a bit weighed down…

I was looking at cams up there... your area is definitely the big winner.   You can tell where its bad by slow traffic and that is just in your area from north of Arlington to the Snohomish/Skagit county line.   Even Mount Vernon has a bare ground and wet roads just to your north and it looks like they are being pounded based on the radar.
