Geos Posted February 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Yeah... 405 north of 520 looks like Snoqualmie Pass! But appears to be a rain/snow mix in downtown Bellevue and the freeway is just wet. Downtown Bellevue... And about 2 miles north in Kirkland... This is the exit that is closest to here. I traveled from Everett and never went pat 40mph but there was other people trying to go 50+. Totally nuts in these conditions.

Chewbacca Defense Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Walter Kelley says no changeover at all from Seattle north. Yeah I know...it’s an on air Met...but hoping he is right!! I’ve found he does a really good job; legit weather geek and not just a talking head. I love to watch him when there is big weather, he gets really excited, and it’s fun/funny to watch. He is good about explaining the local weather quirks and microclimates. He seems to do a really good job of talking about potential weather without going all in. I think he was hinting at this pattern a good 7-9 days before it started, and within a couple of days of it starting was hinting that we were probably looking at 10+ days of “cold weather and low snow levels” and that we would definitely have to keep an eye on things. A day or 2 later he had this out to the 3rd week of Feb. Rarely see the other tv mets talk about anything beyond their 5 or 7 day forecast graphic. The only thing I will say is that he missed the class on how to do your make up in the HD TV world. LOL!! Or heck, maybe he just wants to have really rosy cheeks on TV!

Rubus Leucodermis Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 5.5" storm total so far. Precip rate has really dropped and what's falling is becoming increasingly slushy. Unless the precip rate picks up, it's probably transition time soon. Ah, well, it was fun while it lasted. I'm at 21.9" for the month. It's called clown range for a reason.
